Just read this article with incendiary comments from Teofimo Lopez on the main board. The guy clearly has issues. I am no shrinking vioet and know people carry such malovent thoughts in their minds but many are not stupid enough to say them. Looks like he is as unhinged as Deontay Wilder: [url]https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/teofimo-lopez-in-hugely-controversial-interview-t/262275[/url]
No mistake. He is pissed at critical comments Tim Bradley and Andre Ward made about his performances.
He was praised for his performances by them against loma and rightfully bashed after his fight against kambosos and Martin. Don't know why teo is mad here those performances were lackluster.
This feels like one of those You Can't Fire Me I Quit tantrums. He says this will be his last fight on ESPN so he's torching the place on his way out the door. Thing is if (when) he loses this fight, would ESPN want to show him anymore anyway? Still some pretty strong words - plus all the if I kill someone fine stuff. Not winning fans with this..
Lets see if he can be at his best for Taylor, because he's going to need to be, to beat him. Otherwise he's taking an L in another lackluster performance and his criticisms will be warranted once again.
Teofimo Lopez shames himself.... not for the first time. I picked Teo to beat Loma, Kambo to beat Teo and Haney to beat Kambo by the way. Now Im picking Haney to beat Loma but I still don't have an opinion on Teo vs Taylor.
He's circling the drain! In what universe is he going to beat Taylor? It's crazy how fast he went from one of the best up and coming star doing things the right way (minus the annoying father) to completely unraveling. I was actually going to get tickets to this fight but how could I now? It would be embarrassing to be seen there.
This. In the past few decades it's become normal for the little guys to walk around like badasses. Slow down there little fellas. People watch the lower weights for the technical skill, not because you're a badass. All that badass talk shouldn't even begin to come out of your mouth until you reach 154, and ideally not even until you reach 175 plus.
He said ESPN can keep black fighters. Now imagine a black fighter said that about any other background. Wouldn't be a big deal.
You know, I still want him to beat Taylor just because it would be hilarious for a guy as widely hated as him to beat both Lomachenko and Taylor.
