Teofimo Lopez says his oral exchange with Ryan Garcia last Tuesday during the Kickoff Conference was his attempt to make him come out of his straight character role he played to revive him to promote the promotion of their 2nd event at Times Square in New York.
Ryan’s “character”
Lopez (21-1, 13 CO’s) felt that Ryan and the other fighters at the table on stage made it boring for the supporters. The idea is to make contact with the people who order the opportunity on PPV.
Teo says Garcia thought he was “Discredit” The fighters in the case by saying they are dull. It was boring, because the fighters said nothing but good things about each other, which made it like a prize giving instead of a promotion.
We do not know if Kingry was told to play it well because it is a Riyadh season event, and Turki Alalshikh is trying to bring box back to its former glory as one of the most important sports.
May 2 Mega-Card
– Ryan Garcia against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero
– Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez
– Theofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboza Jr.
“After the exchange, Ryan called me that he believes I discredit the fighters, but at least I got him out of his character,” Theofimo Lopez said Boxnation Over the back-and-forth orbits he had on stage with Ryan Garcia last week, Kin New York during the Kickoff Perstse Conference to promote their Times Square event on May 2.
Theofimo did not get Ryan out of character. He was basically told to stop by Ryan, who continued to say good things, and never went into trash mode. His opponent, Rolly, acted as if he had increased, and seemed too nervous to talk.
“The character he tried to play was to be more sincere, relaxing and apologetic and trying to have a clear face and a clean image,” Lopez continued Ryan. “It’s something we understand, but there’s something about this boxing game. People are always going to remind you of what you have done or said. “
Take
“So it’s not necessary. Be yourself, be who you are. As for Ryan, I’m just happy. I just say to him, ‘Listen, I do my part. You either jump in and do your part with me or I will take over as I did on Tuesday. I believe I’m in all their heads. All the fighters you saw at the table are in all their heads, ”Lopez said.
It is important that Teo take over the press conferences, as it is likely that the other fighters will continue to play it cool. Haney seems to have been shaken by his loss of Ryan Garcia in April last year, and does not feel comfortable trash. His father, Bill Haney, was missing at the press conference. He would have been an important figure to live things up.
‘A tough participant. These are the vibes I get from him. He is someone who is hungry, but he is one of the guys who sees red like a bull and is about to run in a wall. That’s all I can say, ”Theofimo said when asked about his thoughts on his opponent, Arnold Barboza Jr.
“Any fighter they put in front of theofimo is going to be my hardest. So I’m not going to overlook Barboza. I look forward to what he will bring to the table that night, Friday night, and we’re going to show him Friday night lights. We are going to show him its origin.
“It doesn’t matter where you have traveled, whether you do not want to cross the dam or who does not want to cross. When you face theofimo, we take over, ”says Lopez.
