      However, trying to fight in a weight-drained physical state is more dangerous! Just ask Teofimo Lopez!

        So ole Josh is caught between a rock and a hard place. I don't believe Lopez had as much trouble making 135 as he lets on.

            And Bob convinced him to stay at 135 a little while longer, right? LOL

              I dont get people not SEEING what Teo brings to the table. He will whip ANY 140 pounder. 147 is a different story.

                Perhaps it is due to his last performance with Martin rocking him in multiple occasions, but Honestly from what I seen in Teo's YouTube documentaries, he is doing all the heavy lifting compared to his father.

                He is ****y but can't really question his discipline, too bad he can't focus completely on his camp nor can he rely on competent trainer for advice nor lighten the load.

                  Teo is mentally done, he’s not beating any elite guys at 140. He’ll even go life and death with the Barbozas and Pedrazas of the world. Every top guy should be licking their chops to get to Lopez first.

                    Martin is the new Lara. ANYONE can look bad against Martin.

                      Yes Bob did exactly that, and it worked, he beat Lomachenko! He should've went to 140 immediately after that, but he was greedy! Bob didn't even want him fighting Kambo, and Teo took that fight on some other network, and the rest is history!
