Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Downplays 'Hot Mic' Moment, Says It Was 'Strategic Move'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Teofimo Lopez wants the world to know that his recent public show of self-doubt was all a front. As for what, exactly, remains unclear. Earlier this month, the former unified lightweight champion and current 140-pound contender picked up a hard-fought

Nobody believes you.

Teofimo was clearly doubting himself after the Martin performance. He needs to change things up, getting rid of his halfwit father would be a good start.

This guy just can't be honest with himself

[James Hunt]

Does he ever watch replays of his interviews and other public appearances and statements?

Damn it's sad how much he lies to himself

Facts!!! Nobody is buying it! Sad that Top Rank is already shutting down a Prograis vs. Lopez fight! TR has zero faith that Lopez wins! I think they'll steer him towards the winner of Barboza Jr. vs. Pedraza!

Lopez reminds me of Broner following the Maidana loss.

Hmm. So what Teo is saying is that Kambosos knocked the "Art of War" into him?

I watched the fight and Teo didn't look terrible like some ppl were saying. I think his problem is that he talks too much sh.t, and when u talk a lot and don't do what u say, ppl will put u down. Like when GGG in the 2nd fight with Canelo said fight Mexican style, he came in and boxed Canelo instead, and ppl put him down afterwards, because he didn't do what he said he'd do, even though he still outboxed/outl anded Canelo and busted his eye open in the 11th round with an uppercut and had Canelo holding on and tired at the end. Now Teofimo came in, did okay but he was leaping in too much because he couldn't reach Sandor with his left. Sandor was also slipping a lot of Teofimo's punches, even when on the ropes or in the corner He's a slippery guy and not easy to hit. Sandor also has fast hands and feet. So the fight has to be looked at in the proper context. Teo didn't look horrible. Sandor beat Mikey Garcia. Teo is fighting tougher opponents and he's not at great as he thinks he is. He's athletic and strong, and has skills, but he has to keep learning and working hard because there are no easy opponents now, so he won't look as great as he did b4.

Good analogy! I really hope not, because I don't want to see the kid go that route, but he's well on his way! I think Arum will protect him more than Haymon did for Broner! That might keep Teo from self-destruction!
