The sport of boxing doesn’t seem to disappoint this year. This weekend has brought us yet another scintillating clash in the ring. Boxing star Teofimo Lopez is all set to go against Canadian boxer Steve Clagget.

In this write-up, we preview the fight and try to predict how it might go inside the ring.
Teofimo Lopez vs. Steve Claggett: USA vs Canada
Teofimo Lopez announced his arrival on the boxing scene when he emphatically beat up Vasyl Lomachenko. Lomachenko was considered untouchable, and Lopez caused some heavy damage to the Ukrainian national. Teofimo is on an impressive four-fight win streak before going into the fight against Steve Clagget. Clagget is a much more experienced fighter with thirty-eight wins and seven deficits.
The Canadian star has never faced an opponent of Lopez’s caliber in the ring, but he will be willing to rise to the occasion and beat him. Teofimo is a heavy favorite in the ring, known for his extraordinary defensive technique and powerful counter-strikes. Claggett might want to pick his punches precisely as Lopez’s defense can make things tricky for the Canadian. Teofimo is considered one of the best counterpunchers in the game, and Steve Claggett might not want to get too aggressive with his opponent.
Teofimo Lopez is a heavy favorite going into the weekend. Not many will be surprised if Lopez gets his hands raised at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida.
