Former undisputed lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez will make his junior welterweight debut Saturday evening in the 10-round main event against Pedro “Roca” Campa at the Resorts World Event Center at Resorts World Las Vegas. Here’s what they had to say at the final press conference.
Teofimo Lopez: “I can’t wait to show why Teofimo is the greatest of all time…this guy is in front of me to stop my dreams and stop everything that we’re shooting for. Every time I go out there in the ring, I’m risking everything. I’m risking my life. We double down, every time. When it comes to me, it’s just me versus me, no one else. I thank God for that. He’s always in my corner…Campa has that Mexican style of boxing. He’s going to be aggressive. This is going to be an all-out war. This is going to be a fight. And I’m very excited about that. I love competition.”
Pedro Campa: “We know the kind of fighter we will be fighting this Saturday. Honestly, I trained very hard because, as I repeat, we know the kind of opponent we have. Manny Robles is a trainer with a great understanding. He knows what he wants me to do, and I’m ready to obey what he says…we can do interesting things in the ring. Firstly, I think I’m coming for the victory. By any means necessary, I want to take the victory to Mexico and for my people in Guaymas and Sonora.”
Why Teofimo’s father hadn’t take him to see a psychiatric doctor to treat his delusional behaviour?
First he was enrage with the decision of his fight with Kambosos thinking he was robbed and there was a conspiracy against him, and now he says “I can’t wait to show why Teofimo is the greatest of all time”…….. Give me a break!!!!. He should be glad if he can defeat this guy, but once he step in the ring with a guy like Jose Ramirez or Regis Prograis, he will find the truth
Maybe God took the night off for the Kambosos fight.
I think Teo’s father is also in need of psychiatric assistance. Maybe they can have couples therapy?
Ha, he’s talking in third person. What can I say, Teo is fun to watch but he’s difficult to like. His mindset seems to be as much of a potential adversary as as any opponent he faces.
I like Teo as a fighter, is fun to watch and talented, but his thinking is way out of the reality, very immature
“I can’t wait to show why Teofimo is the greatest of all time”
– Yo no think so, Ali Jr.
Genetics are a powerful thing! Teo sounds exactly like his Pops! Crazy and delusional,….
if lopez wins this fight he will tell anybody that listens how great he is if campa wins lopez will say he was robbed
Teo is delusional,definatly not thinking right
Teo, a little word of advice. You are not the greatest of all time. In fact, I doubt you are top 10 material in your new weight class. Mellow out. Put in the work. Rebuild yourself. Hopefully, you will be good enough to fight for, and maybe win a world title in your new weight class. And, don’t be pretentious.
