WBO Light Welterweight Teofimo Lopez minimized the threat of Arnold Barboza Jr., rejecting him as simple “stepping stone” In greater things in his career when they fight on May 2 at Times Square in New York.
Teo (21-1, 13 kos) does not want to admit that Barboza (32-0, 11 kos) is the biggest threat to him since his fight with Vasily Lomachenko in 2020.
Although Lopez was later beaten by George Kambosos Jr. In 2021 and undoubtedly lost to Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz, he had to easily win these games. The judges gave gifts to Lopez against Jamaine and Sandor, but he was well struck.
Barboza Jr. He has the kind of talent that will put the judges in a weak position: they dare not give A-side Teofimo the victory.
“Stepping stone”
“This is the biggest struggle of his life. And that’s just another step in my career and we did that,” TeroFimo Lopez said Top boxingTalking about the WBO compulsory of Arnold Barboza younger “put him in front of me and I will always beat him.
“We will show everyone in May 2nd, because we are the truth and why we are the myth. I look forward to what Arnold Barboza wants to bring to the table, but I guarantee you, it’s very different when you are on the ring with me definitely,” Teofimo said.
Something that made Teofimo feel like he can walk in the water now, and I don’t know what. Was his last fight against Steve Claggett? Hopefully, Lopez realizes that the top class was supplying him with a soft job after fighting against Jamaine Ortiz. He needed a trust amplifier after the way he looked at this fight.
Barboza seems unbeatable at the moment and will take Teofimo to the best to win this match. In the last two matches of Barboza Jr, he defeated Jack Cattetel and Jose Ramirez. Either one of these guys would have an excellent opportunity to beat Lopez.
