Teofimo Lopez vs Arnold Barboza Jr Prediction

Teofimo Lopez comes to put on a show. 'The Takeover' was once billed as the next big thing in boxing. However, the hype has dropped down a notch since his George Kambosos Jr loss. That said, Lopez is as talented as they come.

Arnold Barboza Jr, meanwhile, is solid and technical. He may not be as flashy as Lopez, but Barboza has solid fundamentals and has been on a good run as of late, picking up some notable wins.

Teofimo Lopez often turns his fights into a firefight and is willing to step into the danger zone to get a spectacular knockout. That might leave an opening for Barboza, who has shown his ability to hurt opponents in recent fights.

Barboza, though, is not a vicious knockout artist, meaning Lopez might be able to land his shots and keep the momentum in his favor. He is expected to get a unanimous decision win and take Barboza's undefeated record.

Winner: Teofimo Lopez by unanimous decision
