Teofimo Lopez took to social media as we speak to complain about High Rank, saying he’s “too costly” for them and blaming the chairman, Todd Debouf.
Lopez claims that Duboef hasn’t “appreciated” him and his father since 2018, which is why he hasn’t been getting the essential matches he needs. Followers see this as extra of a case of Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOs) failing to carry out.
He misplaced to George Kambosos Jr. and has struggled in lots of fights since transferring to 140 in 2022. More and more, he sounds wacky together with his rants on social media, speaking about this and that.
Teofimo says he needs his “buyout quantity.” That’s one thing he already requested for in a latest submit on X.
Previous Efficiency
WBO mild welterweight champion Lopez, 27, needs fights in opposition to Devin Haney, Terence Crawford, Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia, and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. Nevertheless, these fights have been unattainable so far. He’s not common sufficient to get them, and his many lackluster performances within the final 4 years have contributed to this.
Lopez regarded like 24k gold within the first 4 years of his profession from 2016 to 2020, however he’s didn’t carry out on the identical degree since 2021. It’s clear to followers that Teofimo was idiot’s gold from the get-go, and he was by no means nearly as good as the general public thought.
His slender win over an injured, one-armed, older, and far smaller Vasily Lomachenko was the watershed second in Teo’s profession. It’s been all downhill since together with his fights in opposition to these guys:
– Steve Claggett
– Jamaine Ortiz
– Josh Taylor
– Sandor Martin
– Pedro Campa
– George Kambosos Jr.
High Rank has been maintaining Teofimo’s head above the waterline by how they’ve matched him within the final 4 years. If that they had put him in fights with among the killers that he’s been whining about, he’d have misplaced many instances and could be ineffective to them. He just about is, anyway. Teofimo’s feedback outdoors of the ring make him onerous to love, and a few followers query his sanity.
A Historical past Of Dislike?
I’m too costly for TopRank, however the fact is that Todd DeBouf is the problem right here. He hasn’t appreciated me or my father since I began THE TAKEOVER EST. 2018 & in all probability beforehand. Now he’s the Chairman of TopRank so individuals do the maths. By Legislation I’ve Freedom of Speech 🔺👁️ #Boxing
