Tonight's live stream of Lomachenko vs Lopez is shaping up to be the most anticipated boxing match of 2020 The match will be broadcast from the MGM Grand Bubble in Las Vegas and looks like a serious rivalry match, with Vasilij Lomachenko defending his unified lightweight championship against Teofimo Lopez Jr (whose title is also on the line)
The rivalry dates back to 2018, when Lomachenko (who was on his way to fight Jose Pedraza) met with the father of Teofimo Lopez Sr whom he will face this weekend Lopez Sr claims that the fighter refused to shake his offered hand and just stared back at him This appears to be the beginning of a family feud over the past few years
Lopez Jr has since declared that he is the one to beat Lomachenko, and now he has the opportunity The champion says he will not accept a challenger until he wins the world title
In this fight, Lopez will be fighting for the IBF lightweight title and Lomachenko's WBO and WBA lightweight titles Such a risk/reward situation would draw a lot of attention
It's a development that makes one expect a sword-fight duel (or a wrestling match) from a bygone era, but it's not; it's the story at the core of this massive bout And it got even more heated
Last December, when the two were in the same ring, their promoter, Bob Arum, asked to take a picture together Lopez refused, cursed, and agreed Frankly, such an exchange sounds almost rehearsed, but see for yourself:
