PREDICTION: LUIS ALBERTO LOPEZ VS. MICHAEL CONLAN

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday at theSSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and live on ESPN, Luis Alberto Lopez will look to defend his Featherweight crown against hometown hero Michael Conlan.

Lopez, 27-2 with 15KOs, has won 10 in a row since his last defeat back in 2019. In his most recent contest back in December, Lopez defeated then-titlist Josh Warrington to capture his current gold.

Conlan has only lost once as a professional, which was a knockout defeat at the hands of Leigh Wood in his first title shot back in March of last year. Now, with a couple of wins back to back, Conlan has improved to 18-1 with 9 stoppages.

So, does Lopez pick up his second big win in as many fights or will Conlan finally obtain world gold? Check out my Prediction in the video above.
