Comments Thread For: Pedro Campa Cleared To Face Teofimo Lopez, Set For August 13 In Las Vegas

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Teofimo Lopez Jr. will return to the city that officially crowned him a king. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that plans are finalized for Lopez's August 13 ring return to relocate to Las Vegas from its originally targeted South Florida destination. The former lineal and unified lightweight champion will face Mexico's Pedro Campa at Resorts World Las Vegas, atop an ESPN telecast that will mark Lopez's official run in the junior welterweight division, as previously reported in separate breaking news stories by BoxingScene.com and ESPN.com.

Something is wrong with Teofimo. He didn't leave 135, he got run out.

It looks like Josh Taylor has dropped the WBC and WBO on the account that Teofimo is ranked by both sanctioning bodies, but it appears that the 'Tart-Tomato' has kept the IBF.

So Campa gets cleared to fight Lopez but wasn't cleared to fight Zepeda. Is there any "clear" explanation for this?

My thinking is the boxing community has decided Lopez wasn't any good to begin with, after losing to that bum. As soon as he fights anyone decent again at 140, he's losing. It may even be this Campa stumblebum, as Arum calls it.

You have a point about Loma (too many excuses by his fans). I really started to wonder about him too. Beating Commey doesn't impress me at all. One can go two ways with this: Neither Loma nor Lopez is that good or they both had bad nights (excuses). Kambosos must've had a bad night too?

Too many excuses with these guys after a loss.

Yeah you could be right. Lopez has lost confidence in himself after that loss and from family affairs. There could be a possible upset with this one.

And Lopez will never clear anything, although 140 is one of the weakest divisions, historically and now. Lopez ain't that good, period.

Why are they so fixated on the unknown Campa who only fights on those Telemundo type shows?
