By Ben Morse, CNNGeorge Kambosos Jr. produced one of the shocks of the years as he beat Teofimo Lopez to become the unified world lightweight champion on Saturday night. Kambosos won 115-111, 113-114, 115-112 on the judges’ cards to claim the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts in a Madison Square Garden’s that was almost entirely behind home-favorite Lopez. “I said it time after time: ‘You might not believe it, but I believe in myself.’ And look at me now. But he eventually took to the ring against Kambosos, with the promise of producing a first-round knockout. The pair exchanged big blows throughout the rest of the fight — with Kambosos having to survive being knocked down himself later on.
