The Boxing Truth®

A fight won by Lopez in a convincing unanimous decision, has created buzz as to who the first challenger for Lopez’ undisputed world championship might be.   Undefeated Lightweight contender Devin Haney would appear to be on a short-list of potential opponents. Much like Lopez, Haney is unbeaten and...
