Terence Crawford gave his ideas at present about mild welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez’s comment. In a current interview, Teofimo was requested who he needed to battle between Gervonta Davis and Crawford, and he mentioned, “Whichever Monkey needs to get the banana.
Crawford feels that Lopez is determined for consideration from followers. He thinks that if he or Tank Davis had made a racial remark, it could have been a backlash.
“Teo is just like the little child that’s screaming for consideration. Had me or Tank referred to as him a racial slur, they might’ve been making an attempt to cancel us, calling us racist; it could’ve been all around the information,” mentioned Terence Crawford to Bernie The Boxer, reacting to Teofimo Lopez’s “monkey’ remark.
It could have made massive information if Tank and Crawford had made a racist comment just like the one Lopez Jr uttered. Maybe the true purpose Lopez didn’t obtain a whole lot of criticism from followers is his profession has gone downhill within the final 4 years, and he’s not the identical star that Crawford and Tank Davis are.
No matter recognition Teofimo as soon as had in 2020, he’s misplaced it from his defeat towards George Kambosos Jr. and his current poor performances towards Steve Claggett, Jamaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin, and Pedro Campa. Teo appears to be like washed at this stage of his profession, and he appears determined for a money out. Therefore, he’s saying no matter he can to attempt to anger Crawford into combating him.
“The hatred that’s inside all the time exhibits. That’s not one thing that’s simply got here out, that’s one thing that’s been inside that man that he was taught as a bit child,” mentioned Crawford about Lopez Jr.
It’s fairly apparent that Teofimo is making an attempt as onerous as he can to weasel a battle out of Crawford, and he doesn’t know what else to do. Crawford has no curiosity becaue Teo’s star energy has diminished, and there’s no cash in a conflict between them.
“[Teofimo is] disrespectful. He’s taking part in as a result of he thinks all the things’s a recreation. However he doesn’t perceive I’ll beat the [stuffing] out of him,” mentioned Crawford.
