Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) will defend his WBO junior welterweight world title against Jamaine Ortiz (17-1-1, 8 KOs) on Thursday, February 8 on ESPN from the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Following a recent training session at the Top Rank Gym in Las Vegas, Lopez said he’s been training for six months. “I’ve gotten faster. I’ve gotten much stronger. My I.Q. is much sharper. And it’s because I haven’t stopped training since August of last year. And I’m not going to stop. After I beat Jamaine Ortiz, then I will keep staying in the gym.”
“The end result is that ‘The Showman’ is returning. There will definitely be a knockout. It’s not going the distance. I’m not going to leave it in the judges’ hands at all. So, everyone tune in, and get your popcorn ready.”
Another big mouth like Rolly. These guys never learn. They’re arrogant and they’re a…holes.
I told you guys
That’s why I like Jaime Munguía he is diferent more humble and focus on pure boxing no drama
Thurman is another loudmouth a..hole.
i remember him talking smack to Pacquiao and he got a beating but he didn’t learn. some people never learn.
Ortiz has fast feet. Could be a fight.
Thurman too
He is acting like WWE wrestler to sell the fight
The best way to sell a fight is being a good boxer because we all want to see a good boxers we don’t care nothing out of the ring
Now is cool to see heated press conferences as long as they are real
Like when Mike Tyson fought with his next opponent in a market grocery store [whatever]
Or morales VS Barrera
They were real
Not like most of them who push each other very fake
I’m very disappointed in most of them because some are real good boxers but they act like girls
People always talking about Mexican fighters and how humble they are. You don’t know much except from what you hear through a translated. Barerra seemed pretty humble, but Morales didn’t appear like that to me….either way Lopez is pretty arrogant at times, but always seems to want to fight the best out there. Not like Tank Davis and the other divas. Haney also seems to want to fight the best. I dont care if you are arrogant as long as you are willing to fight anyone. That’s why people love Lonachenko and GGG. Both guys will fight anyone, but had a better attitude than some of these other clowns. I just want to see the top guys duke it out. Not them beating their chests on social media
Loma and GGG, because they are not entitled like the others you mentioned. They speak with their hands not their mouths.
If you are talking about me I never said that Mexican fighters are humble
I said Jaime Munguía is humble which diferent to say all Mexican boxers are humble
In all countries there are cockys and humble boxers
yeah but, PR, Cubans and blacks tend to be the biggest loud mouth.
Well some of them are fake
They try to sell the fight
That’s what we are talking about they should just focus to fight in the ring not out of it
What a joke of a man. He really degrades the sport with his loud mouth and lack of class. I have no interest in this clown’s fights. No interest in his career.
Jamaine is a hand picked lightweight fighter asked to fight at 140. Sure Teofimo can win by KO with so many advantages, but after this I expect him to face Subriel Matias, Haney or a legit top 140
just an easy payday for Mr. Im retired seems to be a trend from generation whats trending now
My favorite fighters are the loudmouths that some of you speak of. I grew up playing basketball on the hard top in the inner city, and we talked ish and entertained. Everybody has a different personality. You are entitled to support what type of fighter you like, humble or cocky. I love the showmanship and arrogance as it demonstrates confidence in oneself, win, lose or draw: Ali, Toney, Hamed, Jones Jr, Mayorga, Mayweather, Tyson, Camacho, Paez, Pazienza, etc. Pan, entitled and narcissistic people, to me, are the hardest to deal with, and most of them are not PR, Black, and Cuban, and if you knew your Anthropology and History, all of those groups you you referred to have a certain amount of African DNA, and were all colonized, and still are economically oppressed by entitled and narcissistic groups of people, maybe that’s why they express themselves “differently”. Think about it…most mass shootings are not done by loudmouths.
