Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Thought About Suicide 3 Times Over Last Year

[MPDKSAB]

I've been seeing things in several boxers that leads me to think something is not right with them. With Teofimo being one of them, watched a couple interviews with him last night & I'm surprised I didn't run across this. I think people forget these people take punches to the head for a living. Something isn't right with him & I think it's pretty clear to see..

Show some compassion you miserable prick.

Compassion is like sugar. A little bit is fine. But too much and it'll kill you. The way Lopez carries himself and acts is the reason he is the way he is. He literally created his own mental prison.

It's all mental and psychological. He doesn't go about his business the way he should. He's always on the defensive and getting called out and so he feels he always needs to defend himself. It's the same with guys like Hamed and Broner. Putting up that fake persona or that wanna-be persona will destroy you.

Nomas this meaningless life

I would think that his dad acting a damn fool does not help this young man’s mental health. Sr lives vicariously through Jr, but maybe that is a variable that needs to change. I don’t see the problem with Teo maybe venturing out to get a life coach, with sports psychology background and possibly another trainer brought in to help until Teo sees that his dad may be his poison. IMHO

I seem to recall Tyson Fury having problems, after beating Wlad, feeling down and under appreciated. He didn't contemplate such drastic measures like Teo. He just went on a diet of boar burgers, washed down with coke.

Why? He's still getting more then ever. He only getting like $800k less.

The Triller purse was 6 million, now it's 3 million, how is that 800k less?

That 6 million was to be split between Teofimo and Kambosos. They got a portion of it from the escrow Triller put up and lost by not hosting the fight.

If this is true then I feel for him, but is it just marketing? Tyson Fury grew his brand a lot by going on all the talk shows to talk about his battle with mental health. These guys promote so much trash, why would I believe them about anything? If they're willing to market other trash, like licking people's blood, then who says using this as a marketing tool is beneath them either?

Id be depressed too, if I wont the biggest fight of my career, and everyone that watched knows I couldn't win a rematch... and a rematch is all people wanted to see from me... and I also knew I couldn't win it.
