The IBF Lightweight title is the one belt that "The Matrix" Vasyl Lomachenko (17-3) 11KOs was missing when he attempted his fate at unifying the entire Lightweight division four years ago against then IBF Champion Teofimo Lopez. Loma would fall short on the scorecards and instead lost all his belts to Lopez as well as his standing atop the division. Lomachenko again came up short in his second attempt at Undisputed when he faced Devin Haney. Loma remains hungry and with his sights dead set on reaching the throne. He can secure the title that has long eluded him with a victory tomorrow night.In his path, the former unified Lightweight Champion "Ferocious" George Kambosos Jr. (21-2) 10KOs. Kambosos reached the same heights as Lomachenko within the division and defeated the man that derailed Vasyl's plans in Teofimo Lopez. However, he would go on to suffer a similar fate against Devin Haney in his own attempt at becoming Undisputed.It is a high-stakes, crossroads type of affair for these two former Champions, who are respectively looking at returning to the top of the Lightweight division.Thank You so much for all of your continued support!Don't forget to follow me on Instagram @TOMATODITOSHOW where you can leave me a comment on the direct post corresponding to this episode.Also, you can reach out to me via X @TomaToditoShow.

Teofimo Lopez is good until he's not. For such a talented fighter, he consistently under performs against lesser competition, especially that loss to George Kambosos Jr. His win over Jamaine Ortiz last Thursday was exactly that: under performing. 0:00 Intro 0:13 Teofimo Lopez has a focus problem 7:51 Will Jamaine Ortiz ever be champion? 11:24 Keep Teofimo Lopez away from Crawford 14:52 Is Keyshawn Davis ready for 135 elite? While I thought Teofimo Lopez won the fight, I can understand the scorecards for Jamaine Ortiz. But to call it a robbery is silly. With all that said, Teofimo Lopez did consistently struggle with Jamaine Ortiz when it came to hand speed and size. He bullied Vasyl Lomachenko around. He was faster than Josh Taylor. Jamaine Ortiz took those advantages away. I do believe that Jamaine Ortiz will be champion one day. Looking at the state of 140, it's possible he gets the fight with Rolly Romero and Isaac Cruz' winner. But after that loss it may take a win or two. We will discuss how Ortiz really used his size to not let Teofimo Lopez bully him around as he's done to other southpaws in the past. Should Teofimo Lopez fight Terence Crawford? Absolutely not. He couldn't handle the slight technical work from Jamaine Ortiz. You mean to tell me he would do fine against a tactician bigger than him? Should Terence Crawford fight Teofimo Lopez? Absolutely. That's an easy body. Lastly, we talk about Keyshawn Davis. He took on Jose Pedraza and looked fantastic. Keyshawn Davis is fast, aggressive, and puts his combinations together well. He's also very good in the pocket with those sick uppercuts. But I do not believe that Keyshawn Davis is ready for the top of the 135 division yet. Vasyl Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson all make him look like what he is: inexperienced.

Fight View 360 July 23, 2023 | TstreeT & BIG J talk George Kambosos's controversial win over Maxi Hughes on Top Rank on ESPN | Will we see Kambosos vs Argentina's Gustavo Lemos next for Devin Haney's soon to be vacant 135lb IBF title? Shakur Stevenson faces off and confronts Kambosos after Kambosos's post fight interview with ESPN calling the fight a ROBBERY. Former unified and lineal lightweight world champion George Kambosos Jr. (21-2, 10 KOs) secured a narrow 12-round majority decision victory against an elusive Maxi Hughes (26-6-2, 5 KOs) Saturday evening at FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma, earning a mandatory shot at the IBF crown. Kambosos returned to the ring with renewed vigor after back-to-back undisputed showdowns in his native Australia. But Hughes, an English southpaw coming off a seven-fight win streak, nullified Kambosos' aggression with distance and intelligent footwork.In the fifth round Hughes used his quick feet to set up left hands, one of which opened up a cut above Kambosos' right eye. A clash of heads in the sixth round caused a cut above Hughes' left eye.The later rounds saw both fighters continuing to set up single shots with feints and jabs. Hughes had more success with his counter left hand, while Kambosos, with a sense of urgency, tried to pick up the pace in the final round.Kambosos takes home his mandatory spot with scores of 114-114, 117-111, and 115-113.*Follow Our Social Media Platforms – https://linktr.ee/TstreeTControversy*Twitter: @TroversialMedia *Twitter: @Terel_Vann*Facebook: TstreeT UNCUT➡️ OTHER Channels:- Secondary YouTube: @TstreeTUNCUT - Twitch Gaming Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/tstreetcontroversy*Fight View 360 Boxing Podcast:- Apple Podcast: https://shorturl.at/disu5- Spotify: https://shorturl.at/jnEZ8- Google Podcast: https://shorturl.at/ABMO4- Amazon Music: https://shorturl.at/qPS35CONTACT: news@troversialmedia.comSupport the show Support the show
