Lomachenko vs Lopez live stream: Date, time, channel and how to watch for free online

Tonight's Lomachenko vs Lopez live stream is set to deliver the most anticipated boxing match of 2020. It's broadcasting from the MGM Grand Bubble in Las Vegas, and finds Vasiliy Lomachenko defending the unified lightweight champion against Teofimo Lopez Jr. (whose title is also on the line) in what looks like a match with serious animosity.

The rivalry dates back to 2018, when Lomachenko (who was on his way to fight Jose Pedraza), and met Teofimo Lopez Sr., the father of the man he's set to face this weekend. Lopez Sr. claims the fighter refused to shake his extended hand, and just stared back at him. This, it seems, is how a family feud starts in these odd years.

Lopez Jr. has since declared he'd be the one to take down Lomachenko, and now he's got his opportunity. And he's entering with an extra hefty chip on his shoulder: as the champ's said he will not acknowledge his challenger until he's won a world title. 

This match sees Lopez putting his IBF Lightweight title against Lomachenko's WBO and WBA Lightweight titles. It's the kind of risk/reward situation that will draw a lot of eyes.

That's the kind of build up you expect for a sword-fight duel (or pro-wrestling match) in a bygone era, but instead it's the story at the core of this massive fight. Oh, and then it got more heated. 

When the two were in the same ring together last December, their promoter Bob Arum told them to pose for a photo together. And Lopez refused, cursed and then acquiesced. To be honest, that's the kind of interaction that almost sounds pre-rehearsed, but check it out for yourself:
