Theofimo Lopez says he’s pulling Terence Crawford to defeat the undisputed super -middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13 after starting from Canelo’s team. WBO lightweight champion WBO does not say why he was kicked off Alvarez’s team, but given some of his recent racist remarks in an interview, it would not be surprising if it had anything to do with it.
Lopez (22-1, 13 COs) did not look impressive in his recent victory over his WBO shelters, Arnold Barboza Jr., on May 2 at Times Square in New York. By most of the battle, theofimo has been coming around, Use a litter styleDisplay and throw very few blows. The show in the absence of throwing looked just strange. Normally, fighters do this if they are dominant, and shots at will.
Who kicked him out?
Teo was just clowning without throwing, and that made him look like a zester. The performance should have annoyed Canelo coach Eddy Reynoso, who teaches sound principles. What theofimo did was pure junk and was one of the least entertaining battles at the disappointing May 2 event. Devin Haney’s attempt against Jose Ramirez was the worst, but Thee’s was a close second.
“I’m going for Crawford. The Canelo team does not want theofimo. This is not our fault. This is what the champion (Canelo Alvarez) wants. I don’t want to be heavy, flat foot, planted feet! I’m also a good boxer, too. Many people chewed me A ** not to cut off the ring. on social mediaTo complain about Team Canelo for pitching him off the team for some reason.
You can completely understand why coach Eddy Reynoso does not want theofimo in his team if it was him who made the call. Lopez does not say who pitched him and why not. Even if you ignore his racist remark about Terence Crawford, the way he fought against Barboza was the opposite of how Reynoso taught. It is not a style he advocates.
