Rolly Romero looks to defend his WBA welterweight championship when he battles former lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in a 12-round boxing main event on Saturday. The main card is set for 8 p.m. ET from T-Mobile Arena, and the pay-per-view broadcast will be shown on DAZN and Prime Video. Romero is back in action after more than a year layoff after earning a unanimous decision win over Ryan Garcia on May 2, 2025, in Times Square in New York. Lopez, meanwhile, is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Shakur Stevenson on Jan. 31 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

"Lopez became an overnight star on the strength of his massive upset of Vasiliy Lomachenko, who at the time was widely perceived as borderline invincible, in their October 2020 clash for the undisputed lightweight title. Unfortunately for Lopez, he lost most of his momentum with a similarly stunning upset loss to relatively unknown prospect George Kambosos a year later. Although his talent is undeniable, his performance trajectory has become a bit unpredictable." See Nagel's best bets for the fight at SportsLine.
