Tim Bradley says Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis must stay far from Theofimo Lopez because he feels he is a bad game for him. Bradley recommends that Ennis’s promoter Eddie Hearn takes him in a different direction rather than going through the fight.

Ennis (34-0, 30 COs) did not say whether he would fight against Lopez next. He wants to unite the 147 pound division, and hoped that Hearn could have a unification fight with one of the other two champions.
Bradley: Ennis should avoid theofimo
“Boots Ennis should leave better theofimo Lopez alone. I tell you, leave the boy alone,” Tim Bradley said social media. “He’s a real one. I know all the racist ridge and things like that. That’s one thing. I’m talking about boxing. That’s what I’m talking about. ‘
Theofimo does not throw enough bumps as he boxes his opponents, and it would be his downfall against Ennis. You have to be offended against him, because it’s not going to work like Lopez against Arnold Barboza jr. On the 2nd card on May 2 on Times Square in New York.
“I’m here to tell you, he has what is needed to beat Boots Ennis,” Bradley says. ‘The two most athletic fighters in the game. If they were heading to head, ooh woe. Yes, boots have all the qualities. He has the height and the long arms, but you know who has the better timing? It’s Theofimo Lopez. ‘
What Bradley leaves in his glass of Theofimo is that he breaks under pressure. We have seen that in his fighting against George Kambosos Jr., Chailaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin, Vasily Lomachenko and Masayoshi Nakatani. Teo has Arnold Barboza jr. Beat, because the man is not a pressure fighter.
“Do you know who is athletic? Who was the last athletic man who fought boots? Karen (Chulhadzhian) was the last one? Huh. Don’t think boots will be able to stick it out. Don’t think we know he’s not, ‘Bradley said. “You go back and watch Claggett fight. The boy Theofimo Lopez also has some lungs. ‘
Lopez threw a lot of pushing into the Claggett fight because he didn’t have to worry about something that came back powerfully. Claggett is a forward, sluggish travel man that cannot hit. Boots are the opposite, and he has one -time power, size and the pressure to carry Lopez.
“If he is full -fledged and hungry, he also has lungs. He threw nearly 1000 (Note: Theofimo threw 946 strokes and Claggett threw 820), “Tim said about Theofimo.
Bradley is carried away with his praise for Lopez. Teo can’t throw 1000 strokes against Ennis because he will have to worry about his’ return fire. He does not have to worry against the complaint. So he could stand in front of him and fit him and just throw him.
Turki and Ennis call the shots
“Boots, all the little decay you had. You will not be able to have the dilapidated with theofimo Lopez. Oh no. That guy is at his game. If his thoughts are right, it’s hard to beat the guy, ‘says Bradley. “Explosive, smart, he has a high IQ just like you.”
We have seen what theofimo is about in his last battle against Arnold Barboza jr. He is a potter fighter who mimics Shakur Stevenson. It is his fighting style against opponents that is a threat to beat him. He will fight against Ennis in the same way, but that won’t be enough.
“Eddie Hearn, I’m telling you. If you don’t want your husband to beat (Ennis)Stay away from Theofimo Lopez. You want to give him a few more fights before fighting against the man. I know that Teo is moving to 147. I get it. You’re going to say the power. I get it all, ”says Bradley.
It is not once to hear if the theofimo fight is taking place next for boots. It will be Turki Alalshikh and call Ennis’s call. If they both agree to take the fight, it will happen. Turki has already said that he started negotiations. Now it’s on Ennis if he wants to fight Lopez.
