Teofimo Lopez vs Sandor Martin prediction
This is a tough fight to predict given how different both fighters are. Lopez is young, energetic, and fast. However, Martin has experience on his side. Moreover, Martin boxes in a southpaw stance which Lopez has struggled against in the past.
Lopez is a knockout artist, while Martin is more than content with outboxing his opponent. So it could be a very close contest. However, we predict Teofimo Lopez to beat Sandor Martin via a TKO in round 10.
While it could easily go the other way, we feel Lopez throws too much volume for Martin to handle. Eventually, the pace will wear him down, and the American will finish Martin.
