Teofimo Lopez took benefit of the highlight on Saturday’s ESPN playing cards to name out Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Gervonta Davis, and Terence Crawford, in that order. Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) is determined for a giant struggle after being ignored in his current makes an attempt at luring Devin Haney to face him.
Lopez Desires Ennis
If Teofimo is severely desirous about combating Ennis, it must be at welterweight as a result of he’s too huge to maneuver all the way down to 140.
Within the interview, Lopez stated he deserves the larger lower for the fellows he’s calling out as a result of he’s the “king of the division.” He’s not going to get any of these guys along with his angle, and he’ll probably need to proceed combating the identical obscure opposition he’s been in the previous few years.
It’s attention-grabbing that Teofimo, 27, desires to struggle Ennis as a result of, up to now, he felt he introduced nothing to the desk to him. Does his current poor efficiency towards Karen Chukhadzhian have something to do with Teo’s sudden curiosity?
“I would like a man that’s going to struggle. Should you guys say you’re one of the best, struggle one of the best,” stated Teofimo Lopez to Prime Rank Boxing, saying he desires to return to the ring towards opponent. “Jaron Ennis ‘Boots’, Gervonta Davis, and end with Terence Crawford,” stated Teofimo when requested to call who he desires to struggle.
Gervonta isn’t going to waste time by combating Teofimo as a result of he’s obtained plenty of different fighters at 135 he can face. Crawford doesn’t take Teo severely and received’t hassle.
When ESPN’s Mark Kriegel requested Teofimo who he wished to struggle, he rattled off Boots, Tank, and Crawford. This isn’t the primary time Teofimo has referred to as out huge names, and the one one he’s ever delivered was Vasily Lomachenko. The remainder of the fellows Teofimo has fought have been lesser ones.
