Teofimo Lopez seeks title in another division, faces 140-pound champ Josh Taylor -
That fighter, whose right hand could produce a highlight knockdown, hasn’t been around since he moved up in weight. Even Lopez was questioning himself after barely and unimpressively winning his last fight.
Taylor now holds only the WBO belt. He gave up the other three while attempting to stage a rematch of his last victory, which like Lopez’s came by split decision. The best of Taylor was good enough to hand Regis Prograis and Jose Ramirez their only losses and make him just the second man to hold all four 140-pound belts when he knocked Ramirez down twice in his victory two years ago.
The last few have gone poorly, though. He was upset by George Kambosos Jr. in his first fight after beating Lomachenko, then left the lightweight division. After a victory in his debut at 140 pounds, Lopez returned to MSG in December, getting up from a knockdown in the second round to eke out a victory over Spain’s Sandor Martin, followed by cameras capturing him asking aloud if he still had it.
