Timothy Bradley Jr. breaks down the junior welterweight fight and provides a path to victory for both fighters.
Teofimo Lopez, above right, is a big favorite to retain his WBO junior welterweight title against Steve Claggett on Saturday. Timothy Bradley Jr. is an ESPN's boxing analyst, a two-division, five-time world champion and a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Lopez brings an ultra-athletic, hard-hitting, counterpunching style that thrives on sluggers who willingly engage, such as Pedro Campa, Lopez's first foe at 140 pounds, whomin 2022. His challenger, Claggett, typically has one strategic plan: to engage in a high-pace pursuit. He puts all of his faith into his punch output, stamina and strong chin, usually overwhelming his opponents while living primarily in close proximity to them.
The road to undisputed supremacy in the 140-pound division is full of uncertainty with endless possibilities of exciting matchups. New champions Isaac"Pitbull" Cruz, a relentless pressure fighter, and technical southpaw boxer Paro are in the mix along with intriguing contenders Sandor Martin, a tactical southpaw boxer, and well-rounded boxers Arnold Barboza and 41-year-old hard-punching southpaw Ismael Barroso.
This continuous activity has kept his career moving forward, and he has been working hard to get his opportunity against Lopez. Engaging in back-to-back training camps is helping him focus and rededicate his life to boxing. Claggett has honed his pressuring style skills through consistent practice and competition. His tools have sharpened, losses have become lessons and his confidence remains high.
