Madison Square Garden hosted one of the great surprises of the year when Australian George Kambosos Jr.’s unexpectedly defeated Teofimo Lopez.
In the first round, undefeated Kambosos sent Lopez to the canvas with a powerful right to the face.
Kambosos’ speed was too much for Lopez, who never seemed comfortable.
The frenetic pace did not slow yet in the tenth round López saw a small glimmer of hope sending the Australian to the canvas, who got up to continue a war in which both fighters ended with cuts in their faces.
At the end, the judges presented cards 115-11 and 115-112 in favor of Kambosos and a 114-113 for López.
