WBO orders Teofimo vs. Catterall-Barboza winner

The WBO Championship Committee has ruled that current WBO junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez must make his mandatory title defense against the winner of Catterall-Barboza within 180 days after their bout scheduled for Saturday, February 15 to terminate the interim champion status and ensure a single world champion. Failure to comply will result in triggering the Committee’s intervention for the enforcement of the WBO regulations of world championship contests.

  • Caterral vs Barboza =barboza

    Barboza vs Teófimo = Teófimo

    Then I’d like Teófimo vs Ryan

    Then the winner vs tank Davis

    • Teófimo vs tank = tank by 1 point decicion

      Rysn vs tank = 50/50 anyone by 1 point decicion …With no dehydration clause this time form tank Davis

      • If there was a “dehydration clause” both fighters would be in a bad situation haha. Ryan vs Tank is not 50/50 by any means. With the way it ended the first time, no one wants to see that again. Would rather Tank fight a high IQ fighter like Stevenson. He’s been dodging them all career ala Lomachenko. Ryan needs to go to 147. Either he can make the weight class or not.

  • The only rules of sanctioning bodies are what will bring in the most blood money to their coffers.

  • Tank is very solid fighter but I dont think he can beat Ryan at 140

    That’s why he dropped down Ryan to 137 lbs

    But very very close fight

    As long as Ryan don’t be playing games like he did against Haney

    • Maybe if you went back to Mexico your boxing predictions will improve. They are shockingly bad!!!!!! As for your comments in general…embarrassing.

        • I find ‘Carlos’ to be a hypocrite i.e. he opens himself up for retorts with his continual pro-Mexico statements while he only comments pro-America when pushed.

          • I have been calling out Carlos for claiming fighters like ODLH to be Mexican as well as Chicanito RIP . And he has the audacity to call the late Chico Corrales Cuban even thought his mom was MX and he ran with a Latino street gang. Now I am saying this now if Figueroa wins he will be a Mexican fighter but if Fulton folds him, he’ll just be a Texan from Weslaco. Lastly Carlos called Andy Ruiz the ist MX heavyweight champ which is a straight lie cuz he’s from Calexico USA. Carlos there are so many great Mexican fighters out there but kingry, Batboza, Zepeda and Virgil Ortiz and Bam Rodriguez are not from MX, they only beat great fighters from that country. Viva MX.

      • Colson, your right. Carlos just keeps embarrassing himself more and more with his ridiculous predictions. BTW didn’t Ryan beat Haney? So…how was he playing games? Take your time Carlos

  • Lopez won’t take it, he prefers to stay on Twitter talking about “muh A side”, “muh split”.

  • Catterall beats Barboza and Lopez. I’m not a major fan of his style but Catterall is highly skilled and super tricky.

  • Hard decision? I like catterall in this fight. Barboza can box, but don’t think he has the pop to keep Jack off of him. I just wish Lopez would go away.
