Theofimo Lopez declares himself ‘next face from Latinos’ to Canelo Alvarez

Theofimo Lopez says he looks forward to becoming ‘the next face of Latinos’ as soon as Canelo Alvarez retires from boxing. Lopez (21-1, 13 costs) believes he has the talent to take over from Canelo as ‘the face’ as soon as he leaves the sport.

Canelo is expected to continue fighting for another three years, but he is on a semi-retirement tour. Theofimo can take over the face of Latinos because Alvarez plays it safely and avoids the Sharks at 168 and 175.

Latino legacy

Teo is willing to take risks and give Fand the fighting they want to see. This is how you become the face of boxing. Gervonta Davis and Canelo dropped the ball in that respect.

Theofimo, WBO Light Welterweight champion, will have to increase his game to become the next star with Latinos. He looked in four out of his five battles on 140 marginal and was happy with the assessment that he did not have two extra defeats.

Lopez defends his WBO belt against his compulsory Arnold Barboza jr. (32-0, 11 COs) In a hustle and bustle on May 2 at Times Square in New York. Many boxing fans choose Barboza jr. To win the fight because he now has the warm hand and defeats Jose Ramirez and Jack Catterall in his last two fights.

If theofimo wins the battle, he can challenge the IBF Welterweight Champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in October. It is a fight that can be on the top position if he beats Ennis.

“Post me as the underdog because of the business point of view, I’m the underdog to the game and everything, no, I’m not,” TheOFIMO Lopez told Shawn Porter Youtube Channel, talk about his fight against Arnold Barboza jr. On May 2.

Lopez is one of the kinds that performs better when he is overlooked in battle. He is not a good precursor when he is expected to do well, as we have seen in his battles against Chailaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin and George Kambosos Jr.

“Next face”

“I feel like I’m the next face for Latinos to Canelo Alvarez, though Canelo’s hopeful for Mexicans, I’m sorry to say that God chose me. Once Canelo is out, I will be the face of the Latinos. It will be perfect because I speak more English, but then we will speak a little more in my language barrier.

“I’m dreaming big. I earned it, and I deserve it, and I received it. In addition, it’s about keeping going. It is much easier to get these things and go, rather than keep them. You now see them alone with my section. We only have a new champion of Gary Antuanne Russell at 140 pounds with the WBA, ‘says Lopez.
