Sammy Vasquez defends his unblemished record in front of a hometown crowd when he takes on Jose Lopez on Tuesday in a scheduled 10-rounder at the Convocation Center at California State University of Pennsylvania in California, Pennsylvania. The fight, part of the Premier Boxing Championship series, will be televised by Fox Sports 1 beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. “The best feeling in boxing is fighting back in your hometown,” Vasquez, of Monessen, Pennsylvania, said via press release. “To be on FOX Sports 1 and to be headlining in my hometown, there isn’t anything better. I’m truly blessed to have this opportunity.” Vasquez (19-0, 13 KOs) enters the fight a heavy favorite in Vegas and on online sportsbooks (see below). But Jose Lopez (25-3, 15 KOs) is coming off a five-fight knockout streak and he may have the ring experience it takes to clip this bird’s wings.
