Coach Robert Garcia chooses Arnold Barboza jr. To upset the WBO lights of Welterweight Champion Theofimo Lopez in their fight on Dazn ppv On Times Square. Robert says Barboza jr. (32-0, 11 COs) On a strong run with several good wins going tonight’s fight.
He feels that it gives him the lead against Lopez (21-1, 13 COs), who imposed a lot of punishment in his last fight against Steve Claggett’s contender. At the end of the competition, Theofimo looked like Rocky Balboa, swollen with both eyes.
His promoter, Bob Arum, did not look happy at the end. Who can blame him? It was supposed to be a confidence for Lopez after his terrible performance against Jailaine Ortiz.
Why Barboza can win
“He’s a character in box, and he’s good for the sport. This is him. If we see the theofimo beating Lomachenko and beating Josh Taylor, we will see an excellent performance, ‘said coach Robert Garcia said Fighting typeHis thoughts on tonight’s battle between Theofimo Lopez and Arnold Barboza jr.
Theofimo is one of the guys who increased his popularity in his interviewers and over-the-top behavior during press conferences. However, if he is spiritually off, he can be beaten. It can happen tonight.
“We saw theofimo against Sandor Martin and against Kambosos, who did not show up. This is what our question is. What theofimo are we going to see? I know that Barboza is in good shape. He is motivated to win. He is on a good run with some good victories. You should also consider it. It will be a very close fight. I have to go with Barboza. ‘
Robert Garcia is not the only one that Barboza jr. Many boxing fans choose that he wins too, because theofimo has been too unreliable for the past four years. He is warm-and-cold and too unpredictable to reckon. Barboza will hit him if he has one of his nights tonight, provided he does not find the business.
In half of its last six fights, Teo looked like a full Wacko track in the ring. His fight against Vasily Lomachenko in 2020 was the last one where he looked like his old self.
The judges rescued Teo in his fighting against Jailaine Ortiz and Sandor Martin. He should have lost both of these battles and took his record at 19-3 in tonight’s match against Barboza Jr. It would still be an excellent record for a fighter level, but not for a world champion. TheOFIMO would not be the 140-pound WBO champion, even if it is not for the judges who sponsor him twice in the Sandor and Kailaine fights.
Hook is not enough
“I think it’s going to be a pretty good fight. Rolly is a game, “Robert says tonight over the headliner between Ryan Garcia and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero. “He (Rolly) doesn’t care much. He is more like a street fighter. He hits hard and has a lot of power. So, I think the rounds that last will be pretty exciting rounds.
“It can also go out early. If Ryan lands, he could finish him. He has the power to do it. So, we can see an early night. As long as it lasts, it will be exciting, because Rolly is fighting a good fight,” Robert said.
Rolly has a very good chance of winning, and you couldn’t call it a dismay. Ryan is overrated. Fans made too much from his victory over Devin Haney, who is not as good as people thought. Ryan is just a basic one -dimensional puncher who has a left hook and not much more about his game. Rolly is also a crude slugger, but he has equal power in both hands and is made for Brawling.
