Promoter Bob Arum announced last week that 250 fans will be allowed to attend the Vasiliy Lomacheko-Teofimo Lopez fight this coming Saturday inside the MGM Grand “bubble” in Las Vegas, mostly first-responders.
The move marks the first time since the coronavirus took hold that spectators will witness a major U.S. event in person.
The lightweight titleholders will be fighting for all four of the major 135-pound belts in the much-anticipated showdown.
In this episode of the Ak & Barak Show, DAZN commentators Akin Reyes and Barak Bess discuss the significance of having spectators at the event and more.
Here’s what they had to say.
The Ak & Barak Show is available on DAZN and Sirius XM Fight Nation, Channel 156.
