In, what can only be described as one of the shocks of the year, massive underdog George Kambosos tore up the script and beat, previously undefeated unified champion, Teofimo Lopez over 12 rounds on Saturday night. A few hours later, two of the best 122lb boxers on the planet gave it their all in a scintillating battle.

Both sides surely agree on this, this weekends bout between Valdez and Conceicao should not be going ahead with fighter safety at risk! However, as we know in boxing, common sense doesn't always prevail.
