🥊 Teófimo Lopez versus Jamaine Ortiz for the WBO and The Ring Super Lightweight championship of the world
https://box.live/fights/lopez-vs-ortiz/ – Nevada time zone
Teófimo Lopez dethroned the Ukrainian Vasiliy Lomachenko who was supposed to be the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world until he met Lopez. It should be an easy night for Teofímo Lopez. Devin Haney is the real power in that division. Lopez is really good to watch tho.
Also on the card is Keyshawn Davis vs Jose Pedraza – https://box.live/fights/davis-vs-pedraza/ – at lightweight. Davis is heavily favoured.

true, I don't recall Girona being good in previous seasons, I started watching Barcelona games again a bit because of the recent drama, their defense is really leaky compared to last year lol

Looks like Leverkusen are likely lads for the Cup this year too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023%E2%80%9324_DFB-Pokal
Barça are having a bad season, there's debate over why. Xavi is being pushed out.
