the tape Boxing fans will be in for a treat this weekend as they won’t be forced to dig into their wallets to watch one of the best fights of the year. Saturday night. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, a fight that’s been a long time coming will finally take place as Vasiliy Lomachenko meets Teofimo Lopez to unify the lightweight titles. Even better? It’ll be available to watch on free television as opposed to a fight of this magnitude generally being thrown behind a pay-per-view wall. Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KO) transitioned from being arguably the greatest amateur boxer in history to being put on the fast track as a professional, fighting for a world title in just his second pro bout. He would suffer a loss in that fight, dropping a split decision to Orlando Salido. He rebounded in his next fight, taking a decision over Gary Russell Jr. and winning the WBO featherweight title. He would eventually move up to junior lightweight and then to lightweight, winning belts at every weight. He currently holds the WBA and WBO world titles.Lopez (15-0, 12 KO) didn’t enter the professional ranks with the same level of hype as Lomachenko but quickly proved himself an emerging star with a flashy style and serious skills. Aside from a flat performance in winning a decision against Masayoshi Nakatani, Lopez has impressed every time he has stepped into a ring. Most recently, Lopez won the IBF championship with a stunning second-round knockout of Richard Commey in December. In the co-main event, Alex Saucedo takes on Arnold Barboza Jr. in a showdown at 140 pounds. Saucedo has rebounded nicely from the lone defeat of his career — a 2018 TKO loss to Maurice Hooker — to score a pair of wins in his last two bouts. He will enter as a sizable under to Barboza, who enters the bout undefeated at 24-10 with 10 KOs in his career. The winner could conceivably get closer to a title opportunity in 2021. It’s going to be a busy week leading into one of the most lucrative fights of the year.
