Boxing’s 2021 Upset of the Year has been locked in and there are no close competitors. After many postponements stemming from Triller shenanigans to a COVID-19 positive test, the lightweight title fight between Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos Jr figured to be a lopsided fight on paper in favor of Teofimo.
In reality? Kambosos (20-0, 10 KOs) pulled off the shocker of all shockers, traveling into enemy territory to take the WBA, IBF, WBC (franchise), and WBO belts away from Lopez (16-1, 12 KOs) in a thrilling split decision in front of a stunned partisan crowd at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.
