Isaac Lowe faces off Luis Alberto Lopez at York Hall in London, England on Friday, December 3. The pair squares off in the scheduled for twelve rounds IBF featherweight title eliminator headlining the MTK Fight Night card. Boxing fans in the United States can watch the event live stream on ESPN+ starting at 2 pm ET / 11 am PT.
Lowe (21-0-3, 6 KOs), the IBF No. 8 contender, is a close friend and a training partner of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. A former English and Commonwealth featherweight champion, Lowe has won seven consecutive bouts, including a one-sided decision over Alberto Guevara in February 2020 on the Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder II undercard. He returned in March, notching a six-round decision over Ed Harrison.
Lopez (23-2, 11 KOs), the IBF No. 5 contender from Mexicali, Mexico, is riding a six-bout winning streak since a 2019 loss to Ruben Villa. He edged Andy Vences by split decision in a 2020 Fight of the Year contender, then started his 2021 campaign in Mexico with a first-round knockout. He entered the Flores fight – Sept. 10 in Tucson, Arizona – as a sizable underdog. In a relentless show of pressure fighting, Flores somehow survived the 10-round onslaught, and Lopez earned the one-sided decision.
Among the bouts featured on Lowe vs Lopez undercard, undefeated former WBC flyweight world champion Charlie Edwards (16-1, 6 KOs) will make his second bantamweight appearance in an eight-rounder against Spanish veteran Jacob Barreto (13-3, 5 KOs). As well, junior middleweight prospect Jordan Reynolds (3-0, 1 KO) will face the durable Blaise Paka Mukia (2-3-1) in a six-rounder. Mukia has never been stopped as a professional.
In addition, welterweight upstart Elliot Whale (4-0, 1 KO) will fight Miroslav Serban (13-7, 7 KOs) in a six-rounder, while junior welterweight puncher Shiloh Defreitas (1-0, 1 KO) returns in a four-rounder against 17-fight veteran Dario Borosa.
Kicking off the action two-time British national amateur champion Arnold Obodai will make his professional debut in a four-round cruiserweight battle against an opponent to be named. The current lineup can be found below.

Lopez is 1/5 to beat Isaac Lowe and with a better record, so it looks like Lowe is seriously up against it here to win this.
Should be on early Friday evening?

i dont rate him, but others tell me he is rugged and awkward. watched him fight abraham montoya....aka the slowest 130lbs of all time, and he dropped a decision. Have not seen too much of him since, so maybe hes improved. In any event he should win this fight.

Could be a case of Lowe's bizarre matchmaking catching up with him after the Walsh draw, might be a queer feeling fighting after tea time for first time in years

chances are ive seen more of him than you. go check out the abraham montoya fight on youtube and name me any 130lber of all time slower.
Hes mexican, and having seen several mexican fights live in mexico i can say i havent seen one that isnt tough, and im talking from the first fight on the card, tough is 10 a penny in mexico.
ps - beating andy veneces is the bigger accomplishment than flores

im not sure on shutout, i think lowe probably win some rounds although tbh, im not clear on how good lowe really is. the last few years he's been fighting pretty soft and hasnt really looked ambitious. whatever lopez's limits, this is a big step for lowe,

Charlie Edwards just did his ring walk into a very sparse York Hall. Weird as hell.

Tyson Fury is a good friend. Traipsing down to the Big Smoke from Morecambe to watch his pals/relatives, he looks and sounds tired tonight. Lowe this week and Burton last (or week before that, can't remember). Tough ask for Lowe tonight.
