If recent history is any indication, Phil Lo Greco should be in line to lose to Amir Khan on Saturday.
Lo Greco, the Toronto-born welterweight who enters the weekend as the underdog, has alternated between victory and defeat for his past seven fights — a streak that reaches back to 2012 when he won his 25th-straight bout. Since then, Lo Greco has been on the losing end of three fights and has been victorious in three, with Saturday's clash in Liverpool (5:30 p.m. ET on DAZN) next in line.

Just don't tell Lo Greco that he's the underdog.
"I'm here to spoil the party," the 33-year-old told Sky Sports. "I want to beat Khan, come back here [to the UK], and fight [British welterweight] Kell Brook."
Who is Phil Lo Greco?
Lo Greco was born on July 6, 1984, in Toronto, where he still resides.

Since his unbeaten streak ended in late 2012, Lo Greco has had an up-and-down run that sees him sport an overall 28-3 record heading into Saturday's fight with Khan.
