Teofimo Lopez Boxing Analysis

At just 26 years old, Teofimo Lopez has already made quite a name for himself in the boxing world. He’s won Olympic gold and held titles in two different weight classes. His exciting, aggressive style and knockout power have made him a fan favorite.

However, in his last couple of fights against Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz, he showed some chinks in his armor when faced with opponents who used a lot of movement and defense.

As the heavy -1000 favorite, Lopez will be looking to take advantage of Claggett’s aggressive style. He’ll try to time Claggett coming in and land hard counters and combinations. Lopez is at his best when he has an opponent in front of him who’s willing to engage, and Claggett definitely fits that bill.

Steve Claggett Analysis

Steve Claggett might be 35, but he’s coming into this fight on a real hot streak, having won his last nine bouts. The Calgary native likes to apply smart pressure, working behind a tight guard and going to the body to wear his opponents down.

With 26 KOs to his name, he’s got some solid power, too. As the +650 underdog, Claggett knows he’s up against it facing Lopez. To have a chance at pulling off the upset, he needs to cut off the ring, stay in Lopez’s face, and turn this into a grinding, physical fight.

He can’t let Lopez have any breathing room. At the same time, he has to avoid getting caught with Lopez’s big counter shots. It’s a tall order, but Claggett seems up for the challenge.

Teaofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggert Prediction

On paper, Claggett’s aggressive, come-forward style seems tailor-made for Lopez to shine. I expect Lopez to pick Claggett apart as the rounds go on, landing heavy, accurate punches.

Claggett’s a tough guy and he’ll go down swinging, but I see Lopez stopping him late, around the 9th round, to send the Miami crowd home happy.

It should be a great fight while it lasts, with Lopez once again showing why he’s one of the best young fighters in the game today. Back “The Takeover” to win by TKO.
