Teofimo Lopez DOMINATES Josh Taylor at Madison Square Garden to take his unbeaten record

Teofimo Lopez is a champion once again.

Less than two years after surrendering his unified lightweight crown, the 25-year-old Brooklyn native reignited his career Saturday with a near-flawless unanimous-decision win over Scotland’s Josh Taylor (19-1). 

In doing so, he not only won Taylor’s WBO junior welterweight title, but instantly extinguished the doubts that had been growing about his stalled career over the last few years.

There were no knockdowns to speak of, but nearly every facet of the fight belonged to Lopez (19-1), who landed more than 138 power punches for the evening, compared to just 60 for Taylor.

The only victory for Taylor was that he managed to stay upright, even as he was being throttled by Lopez in the final moments.
