The 33-year-old López (34-5, 31 קאָס), fighting out of Caguas, פּאָרטאַ ריקאָ, is a former World Boxing Organization (וובאָ) super bantamweight and featherweight world champion. פון 2008 צו 2010, “דזשואַנמאַ” was one of the top pound-4-pound fighters in the world, but he hasn’t fought אין צוויי יארheading into his much anticipated confrontation with his fellow countryman Vázquez, דזשוניער.

“I still think I have a lot left in the tank,” López confidently said from his Puerto Rican training camp. “This is the first fight of my career that I feel I owe to fans because of the history behind it. I don’t think there will be any rust because I have been training for many, months and I have been inside the gym working hard. Maybe the agility I had four or five years ago isn’t quite the same, true, but at the same time I am more mature and much more calm and more intelligent in the ring. I definitely feel that I am a better fighter than ever before.”

Vázquez, דזשוניער. (24-6-1, 19 קאָס), the son of the great three-time division world champion Wilfredo Vázquez, fights out of Bayamón whose best known boxing son is late Hall of Famer Héctor “מאַטשאָ” קאַמאַטשאָ. Vázquez became the vacant WBO super bantamweight world champion in 2010, knocking out previously unbeaten Marvin Sonsona (14-0-1) אין דער פערט קייַלעכיק.

“I think my opponent is a very persistent fighter and a person who will do anything to meet his goals, even though that will make him behave improperly,” López added. “I think it will be a very aggressive fight, more of a brawl, and I’m sure the night of the fight I will be the stronger fighter. I will dominate him, round by round, and the first moment I have an opportunity to go for the kill, I will pressure him and won’t stop until I get a knockout.”
