Comments Thread For: Lopez Sr. on Teofimo Lopez vs. Regis Prograis: "There Ain't No Money In That Fight"

[Boricua181]

"Talking All That Jazz!" Teo Sr., we always knew it wasn't going to happen! Brooklyn, time revoke Teofimo Lopez's pass! Both of them!!!

It's about damn time, that you finally came to your sense's, and realized that these two are circus clown's.
Who are beginning to draw more flies to their performances, than they draw boxing fan's.

We get it Sr. You are afraid of your son getting his ass kicked!

Without a doubt!

Prograis is in the same position Sergio Martinez was some years ago.

He's alright though - now that he's got the title. He's not an Andrade-level of nobody, and he's exciting to watch - he's one two smaller fights away from landing a good fight. Watch.

Is Lopez Sr. the most miserable, annoying boxing dad since Ruben Guerrero and Angel Garcia? He's getting up there.

Getting up there, he's been the most disgraceful boxing dad in all of boxing, for quite a while now.

Teo Lopez needs to squeeze his ass down to 135. He’s a puncher, he needs to be a puncher to be successful, and he just isn’t a puncher at 140.

Sr. is scared ****less that his son gets killed.

and therein lies the problem with boxing. The pendulum has swung too far to the favour of the fighters to the point where the fans suffer and the sport fades

Money he's "supposed to get"? LOL, you mean Teofomo, who was fighting in the small room at Madison Square garden because he's not a big enough draw, whined about it, then laid an egg when he was given "the big room" chance vs a B level fighter? Lopez is a fraud and his father is the most annoying person in boxing history.

With Ramirez, I can somewhat understand his standpoint being that he is a big draw in his home region and a decent draw in other Mexican-populated areas so he can make good bread fighting other guys on just that alone. But Lopez can't hang on the same reasoning as Ramirez being that he isn't really a draw like that in any part of the US and iirc has downplayed Prograis recently like he'll blow right thru him. No matter how they spin it, this sounds more like they want no part of Prograis whatsoever bc the know what they see. Crazy to see a world champion get avoided the way Prograis has been lately.

Funny thing they said no to the possibility of fighting Haney because they supposedly were going after Prograis. The dust has settled and now we see that they were just on damage control, reeling from the Sandor fight. They wanted to say the right things coming off that poor performance.

This guy beat Lomachenko and thinks that gives him a lifetime pass for ever fighting another good fighter.

But the Kambosos and Sandor fights showed us why this is the case. Teofimo “Do I still got it?” Lopez has officially joined my sh/t list.

Props to Taylor for fighting and beating Prograis. Apparently everyone else at 140 is super scared of this guy.
