As we get closer to the WBO junior welterweight title fight on Super Bowl Week in Las Vegas between Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) and Jamaine Ortiz (17-1-1, 8 KOs), the hype behind it is increasing pretty quickly. It’s been a while since we have seen a fight promoted heavily outside of fight week, but leave it up to the champion, Lopez, to promote the fight and himself via his social media platforms. It’s been videos of him training, promoting a product, producing merchandise, and being at the Top Rank offices. This event feels different, and for a fighter who has been pushing his profile to match how he feels about himself, it’s been an enjoyable ride so far.
Ortiz is challenging for the title and has even stepped out of his comfort zone by doing more posts on social media to match the energy of the champion, Lopez. This fight and event will be on everyone’s radar come fight week, and it should be, as the matchup is intriguing. There is plenty of should programming to go around, so if you want to capture everything surrounding the event, see the schedule below.
