Yes but you got a guy at 135 giving a guy at 147 the work
just believe me if you don't understand this;
if lopez could beat a WW with a world championship right now his people would be positioning him for the fight. in reality they are building toward a championship at 135 because they have a young fighter with 12 fights and who is 21 years old. they have to build toward it! and you think he's ready to take on a world championship calibre welterweight?
Not watching. Can anyone give me a synopsis of how it went?
sparring between a vet with a size advantage and a young, up and coming kid with a lot of talent. both guys were working on stuff. lopez is getting used to size, which he will see more and more as he goes up in weight. ugas is working on dealing with speed, which he wll see more and more if he contiues to fight top 10 WW in a division with good athletic talent.
Teofimo would already imo beat guys like porter and Ugas.
He’s that good.
excuse me?
shawn porter hardly makes welterweight. lopez is a 21 year old lightweight.
he's a fantastic young fighter and a genuine offensive talent, but FFS you are talking about two weight classes of difference and a world championship level fighter against a 21 year old with 12 fights and no wins against anybody in the top 50. sheesh!
it's just sparring, obviously teofimo looked to get the better but it's only sparring. that said the kid got skills both guys worked on whatever it was they were trying to achieve; ugas mainly focused on counters vs a fast hand fighter.
A quick look.
Seems like Ugas isnt really going hard. Maybe both of them are practicing something.
What I noticed is that while Lopez is shorter, he seems to be thicker. And this means he wont be staying in the 130lber division longer.
Weirdest past is teofimo is listed as 5'8" on boxrec and ugas is listed as 5'9"
Ugas is probably more like 6' and teofimo looks 5'7" in comparison
Shawn Porter is 5'7" which I believe is accurate.
Ugas is probably 3 inches taller than Porter based on weigh-in side by side picture.
No way is Ugas a 6 footer - that's Tito and DLH teritorry.
Teofimo would already imo beat guys like porter and Ugas.
He’s that good.
Looking forward to his next fight against Tatli. Will be my third time seeing him live. He has backed up the bravado so far!
Looked to me that Teofimo was getting the better of him BUT what was really noticeable was the size difference which made the fact that Lopez was getting the better of him all the more impressive. Ugas looked like a giant at times. I kept thinking maybe it was the angle? Perhaps it was but at times the size difference was shocking.
BTW clip is only 6 mins long so you can easily watch and its not boring so time feels even faster.

Teofimo was dropped 4 times and then his sister got in and wanted to fight Ugas who then threw a one two that landed flush
Police were called to break it up
