A seventh-round stoppage was the result of a successful debut for Teofimo Lopez in the super lightweight division last night.
A minute and a half later the now stalking Lopez stepped in with an uppercut from either hand. Lopez seemed surprised at times that Campa marched on, eyes swollen, choosing to walk through the artillery that exploded in front of him. However, it began to look like a long night at the office when Campa was still standing after a difficult first few rounds. In the early stages Lopez was sharp, switched on and his jab lasered in on his Mexican target. At times Campa could not see what was coming at him which was the exact opposite for Lopez. After suffering his first career loss to George Kambosos Jr in November last year Lopez chose to leave behind the weight struggle at 135lbs for a healthier and more manageable 140.

With Campa in his rearview mirror, Lopez has plenty of options for his next fight. He says he wants to return on Dec. 10. What route will the 25-year-old take?
I always said he has great talent and is a great fighter,” Barboza told ESPN after the Lopez fight concluded. Many thought Barboza would be the one to face Lopez in his 140-pound debut. “I always said that Teofimo Lopez is a great athlete. The focus for Garcia has been pursuing a bout against Gervonta Davis.

A main event on ESPN is supposed to be more than a showcase, which is what the Lopez-Campa fight was. I think fans have the right to expect a reasonably even pairing on such a big stage. This isn’t a tennis tournament, in which the higher seeds face inferior players in the early rounds. He’s definitely at the peak of his earning power, meaning a lot of money remains on the table for him to claim. It’s a way of staying in the news, of marketing oneself between fights. And he demonstrated that he could bring his punching power to the new division. He’s at or near the pinnacle of his unusual abilities at 34. And whatever was amiss in his head seems to have been sorted out. He wouldn’t be the first quit while on top. He was back to being what he had been pre-Kambosos, a dominating boxer. He’ll probably get a crack at one of those fighters or one like them. He lost his undisputed 135-pound championship and a great deal of respect by a split decision against underdog George Kambosos Jr. last November.
