Angelo Leo secured a stunning knockout victory over Luis Alberto Lopez, earning the IBF featherweight title and a spot in the 2024 Knockouts of the Year. Leo (24-1, 11 KO), implementing a strategic game plan, maintained the upper hand despite Lopez's (30-3, 17 KO) competitive flurries. The fight climaxed in the 10th round when Leo landed a perfect left hook that left Lopez out cold. This victory marks Leo's ascension as a two-division champion, while Lopez must now address his defensive shortcomings that contributed to the loss. Referee Ernie Sharif's inconsistent officiating also drew criticism.
