Credit to Sandor Martin for stepping in to fight Teofimo Lopez with only 3 weeks to go until the fight.

This gives Martin only 3 weeks to relocate to New York from Spain, deal with any jet lag effects, and train for the fight. I don't think Martin had been training for a fight and so it's a big ask to expect him to be on top form. The situation must give Lopez a big advantage and make him the favourite to win.

Loaded, Thanks. Anyone still complaining about Streaming Services like DAZN & ESPN+ being involved with Boxing. Due to their $100 plus annual subscription. Should keep in mind, paying $60 for a mid level fight card like Prograis/Zepeda or Bud/Avensyan will become a necessary commonplace if not for them. BTW, I’ve never understood the whole “Regis is the 140 Bogeyman” narrative. Prograis lost a competitive, but clear decision to Josh Taylor. And has been just floating around for years ever since. Jose Zepeda is the real Spoiler at 140 lbs. Zepeda for the Win this Saturday.
