Teofimo Lopez requested High Rank for his “buyout” quantity in a transfer that means he desires to go away his long-standing promoters. He says he desires them to “reply right here,” that means on X. That doesn’t appear doubtless.
Teo’s Frustration
The WBO gentle welterweight champion Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) desires to go in one other path for his profession as a result of he’s been out within the chilly, lacking out on all of the necessary PPV fights which have been happening within the final 5 years,
Leaving High Rank isn’t going to magically remodel Lopez right into a pay-per-view attraction or bestow him with expertise that isn’t there. I imply, he was overwhelmed by George Kambosos Jr and went by life and demise with Jamaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin, Steve Claggett, and Pedro Campa. The expertise simply isn’t there.
“Hey, @trboxin, What’s my buyout? Only a query 🧐 Additionally, I’d respect in the event you reply right here & not across the nook! Thanks & have a primary blessed Sunday ☀️ of the brand new 12 months! #Boxing,” stated Teofimo Lopez on X.
If Teofimo leaves High Rank, he can comply with the Devin Haney blueprint of being a free agent and on the lookout for the most effective fights. Nevertheless, that also wouldn’t assure success. If Teo can not beat the gifted fighters at 140 and 147, he can be simply as unhealthy off as a free agent as he’s now.
The way in which Lopez has appeared in most of his fights within the final 5 years has proven that he’s lacking that spark that’s wanted for him to turn out to be a PPV attraction. He was dropped twice by Sandor Martin, and he clearly deserved a loss in that battle in addition to his match in opposition to Jamaine Ortiz.
