Don’t miss a replay of Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, TOMORROW, Tuesday, Nov. 9 at 10p on SHO2!
Lopez, coming in as the young champion with a questionable chin, silenced the critics with a career-defining performance. Battling through Marquez’ hellacious onslaught, Lopez retaliated with his own signature power shots and retained his WBO Featherweight World Championship with an 8th round TKO—the 27th KO of his 30-fight career.
Johnson, a veteran at 41-years old, out worked the younger Green (31) to capture the last coveted Semifinal spot in the Super Six World Boxing Classic. His knockout win shook up the tournament standings by vaulting Johnson into a tie for second place with Arthur Abraham. Abraham meets fourth-place Carl Froch on Saturday, Nov. 27 to determine the seeding for the Semifinals
