Ghana's Richard Commey lost his IBF Lightweight title to American boxing sensation, Teofimo Lopez, after suffering a Round 2 technical knockout over the weekend.
Richard Commey knocked out after second round
Lopez who was favorite to win among the pundits because of his sensational right hand punch hit Commey in 1minute 14seconds at Madison Square Gardens early sunday.
commey 32, went into the bout as the under dog despite him being the defending champion. Lopez 22 became the 5th youngest world champion since 1984 after defeating Commey.
Lopez will now have to face Vasil Lomanchenko to what will seem as an exciting and thrilling bout. Lomachenko-Lopez will be one of the most highly-anticipated fights of next year if/when it comes to pass, as you’re pairing arguably the top pound-for-pound boxer in the game today, a veteran who is small at 135 pounds, against a young powerhouse who is pretty big at 135.
