Richardson Hitchins said tonight that Theofimo Lopez did not send him an offer. He reiterated that he wanted Lopez to contract with the “Real zeros” in it.
The one-game against IBF Light Welterweight Champion Hitchins (19-0, 7 COs) is supposed to be the first of the three-match agreement for the WBO champion TheOFIMO with the WBO with Turki al-Sheikh. The other two are in October against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and the loser or winner of the Ryan Garcia against Devin Haney 2 Rematch.
Is TEO back?
Could it be that theofimo wants to take an easier fight than Richardson for his first of the three-game contract with Al-Sheikh? Would he be willing to make Lopez take a scrub to ensure that he did not climb the wrong foot with a loss? Turki usually expects fighters to fight opponents on his cards; I don’t think he will have the idea that Teo is facing another Steve Claggett.
‘Theofimo, I don’t know of all the Bull S *** and all that talks on the internet, and talk about how you got $ 1.3 or $ 1.5 for any battle. I don’t give anything about it. What are you talking about? “Did Richardson Hitchins said social mediaand respond to Theofimo Lopez, saying that he must accept the offer sent to him.
“Listen, you rejected an offer from Devin Haney. You have rejected an offer of $ 2.8 million for Subriel Matias. You have never seen $ 2.8 million. You talk about subriel Matias is not good enough to fight against you. Who the f *** are you? On pay-pervention you would have left with $ 3 million.
“You’re the only one bending. No offer was sent to me. Like I said. Send the contender. If the numbers are right and the date and time, I’m there. There are no excuses, and your father is in the background and talks all that. “
No contract, no courage?
It sounds like Teo is getting cold feet and thinking about the fight with so far. This is similar behavior to how Lopez performed with Subriel Matias and Devin Haney. It’s strange how theofimo says he wants to fight against these guys, but if they try to get a collision, he rejects them.
If theofimo does not fight against Hitchins, he will be the winner of the WBO title -Liminator between Jack Catterall and Arnold Barboza jr. It is doubtful that theofimo wants to fight a unification with WBA champion Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela or WBC champion Alberto Puello, because it would be difficult fights he could lose.
“Stop saying my name. Stop going on the internet, talk all the s ***. Richardson Hitchinson is the only name at 140 at the moment that makes sense. So, as I said, make sure it’s the right zeros, and I’m there. That’s all I have to say.
“I never climbed smoke. There is no contract, or nothing has been sent to me. What are you talking about? “Hitchins told Theofimo.
