Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Rails Against ESPN Commentators, Accuses Top Rank of Preferring Black Fighters

[messi807]

Why are they apologizing when they didn't do anything wrong? I love black people and black is not an insult. He just said as a matter of fact he thought Top Rank was favoring black fighters over him, due to demographic marketing. He didnt say anything negative about black people.

The media just wants to divide whites, blacks, hispanics. They always fan baiting with these manufactured story lines. Andre, Tim, Teofimo, Shakur and all them probably planned this "story" with Bob Arum like a month ago, lol, and hired someone in Hollywood to write the full script, lol. Just saying. I love white people, black people, hispanics, it dont matter. The media is the problem, not any of them.

If there’s no truth in TR favouring black fighters over him he’s just using “blacks” as a scapegoat. Which in turn, is racist. He didn’t mention Fury, Loma or Inoue who have been the face of TR for the past 3 years but immediately mentions “the blacks” lol, weird. There’s no defending this at all.. that man is straight up racist.

It's not just ward or Bradley it's a lot of woke commentator afraid to be honest nowadays.

That's how you can tell this figgit doesn't watch boxing or its politics. Bradley is an anti-black TR hater. The black boxing community, which I am a part of, can't stand him. Ward is not anti-black but he is just an ESPN shill who will say anything for the company. And the fact that you use the word WOKE means you just repeat what you hear on Tv and have no basic fact finding instincts of your own.

Yeah, like nobody hates Nelo or Loma/GGG because of their ethnic backround on this forum...

We can only read fair comments about them.

"Yeah but we hate them because they are protected by the hype machin doe"

Not more than Tank and Haney tbh... Who the fck did they beat themselves?

If people hated Loma/GGG for their skin colour they’d hate Caleb Plant.. yet they don’t. Some fans dislike these fighters because they get pushed as ‘legendary’ even though their careers don’t match the description.

[messi807]

It's such a ****** rant because ESPN really actually loves Tyson Fury and Loma over all of their black talent with the gimmock lg they claim their at the top of their p4p list. They've tried to build Loma into a legend without him fighting any elite blacks..tried to take his losses away and say he was still undefeated...lol. Teo needs a psychiatrist..he's mad because Haney keeps winning and Shakur keeps winning..tough ****, kid. You got punked out in 2/3 of your last fights. Smarten up.

Don’t forget Inoue & Beterbiev too

[DClefthook]

Those damn Hondurans.

YES!!! The Lopezs may have grown up in the projects with "the blacks" but as soon as he beat Loma and got fame and glory from ESPN he quickly switched sides and became part of the pro Spanish conquistadors white skin anti black gang. But now that he has been losing ESPN has made the decision to promtoe white skin Loma over him and put him BACK IN HIS PLACE. To them he is nothing but a melanin big lip Honduran n****r and his lil brain just can't comprehend it.

Ward and Bradley seemed as annoyed by Boxing getting political after George Floyd than most fans did, so not sure how they're "woke." And I think it was Bradley who spoke out on Bud's "Top Rank is Racist" lawsuit.

Funny how Regge forgets that. Top Rank is so Pro Black that Bud sued them for being anti black

The best thing that happened at ESPN boxing is they got rid of crazy Teddy. Timmy is a breath of fresh air. He is always on point and deserves a big raise. Ward, on the other hand doesn’t do much for me. Tim carries the others on his back, he’s that good.

Teo is a lost soul who has regressed tremendously. It seems like he has many daemons living rent free in his head.

Mark my words, one day Teo’s father, Garcia’s father, Benevidez father, and Hopkins, are going to start some unnecessary **** and someone is going to get hurt real bad. The four are ignorant buffoon’s.

The individuals that migrated to America thousands of years ago weren't Mexican, you puny brained maggot.

There were North Asians from Siberia. Siberia is Russian. That means America belongs to the Russians, you dumb little kid.

This is the dumbest take I’ve ever seen. LOL

[Jack Jenkins]

shakur, Jared, keyshawn are all better than him technically and have had better performances in their last 4 fights... and shakur is the only one of those 4 black fighters that headlines.

Teo headlines, looks terrible in consecutive fights, enough that he questions his own abilities, unwittingly, on live TV but ESPN is racist.

let's not forget TC sued Top Rank for being racist towards black fighters

Teo needs a mentor

[DClefthook]

Exactly! The last thing that fighters of color like Latino fighters and black fighters need to do is beef among themselves. These two groups alone are the ones who are carrying the sport in the states by keeping it alive.

The last thing they need is to allow the politics of the sport to separate and divide them. They should seek out competition with each other not conflict.

Good shyte but let's be honest. The hate doesn't come from the black side. In the black community (American) we were raised to believe in the whole black/brown unity theory. But we did not know there was a lot of anti black sentiment in the Latino community. Very sad. They need to realize that the northern half of the world hates the melenated southern half.
