BREAKING NEWS!!! Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr. Is Officially OFF!!!

[Cypocryphy]

Reputable sources report that the fight is officially off. It was said that Teofimo Lopez offered Kambosos 300k to take the fight on the 16th, but Team Kambosos declined. So now there are many changes ahead. Lopez could fight the next in line from the IBF with Isaac Cruz; he could be stripped of the title or drop the title. No body really knows what's going to happen now. The only thing we know for sure is that there will be no fight this October.

Make a real fight this time. I doubt they will do that.

If true…

Just vacate the f***ing belt and rematch Loma in December.

I’m so sick of this f***ing Teofimo-Kambosos saga, Teofimo had a stand out year in 2020 yet all that momentum has been completely stalled by an IBF mandatory and sh**** f***ing Triler. Get these cowboys out the sport man!

Where’s Josh Taylor?!?!

We want you next!

Thank God because I was tired of hearing about it being rescheduled for the past 6 months. Nobody gaf about this fight.

Especially as it's not even a big fight.

as I've stated on other boxing forums, we may not see Lopez have 10 more fights for the rest of his career. The guy seriously believes he's a superstar and I have no idea why..

Exactly, it’s been such a waste of time for Teofimo. We went into 2021 thinking about exciting matchups like Lopez-Tank, Lopez-Loma 2, maybe moving up to 140 and fighting Taylor. Instead we’re waiting 12 months for this Kambosos mandatory.

For those of us wanting to have a Lopez vs Haney or Loma - Lopez rematch, our prayers have been answered. He's likely not going to have the IBF belt unless a miracle happens. No IBF belt, no Josh Taylor fight because whatever incentive there was for Taylor is now gone. That's it.

Even if he doesn't get stripped, the easiest and by far most lucrative fight for Lopez is a rematch with Lomachenko. Then possibly a fight with Haney if something can be agreed on. (Personally I don't see the Lopez vs Haney fight happening because both of these guys ask for so much money that Bob is not going to entertain the idea but you never know.)

So really, the easiest road for Lopez to recoup some of what he lost with this blown fight is to rematch Loma. No other fight makes sense because both guys are on the same side of the street and its a fight everyone is still wanting to see (most everyone). And no one is ever going to go to purse bids again to get Lopez in the ring since he's completely lost all of his momentum. People are starting to say, "Lopez who?"

I suppose DAZN is next in line here, so we'll see what they do, but they could very well pass on this fight and leave it with Arum. Teofimo's saving grace was to resign with TopRank. Could you imagine what kind of **** hole he'd be in had he left TopRank?
