Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Vows to 'Take Life' of Josh Taylor on June 10

[Regge]

People need to watch the video he didn't say "I want to kill him" it's all about context.

He basically was saying " what do I need to do to make it statement kill him ok then ima kill him"

The unstable Teofimo Lopez is now upping the stakes with his rhetoric. No longer is it enough for him to win the fight. No longer is it enough for him to separate Josh Taylor from his consciousness.

No, Lopez intends to send Taylor’s soul off of this mortal plane. It is my humble opinion that Lopez is talking big to try to psych himself up.

As fans of both of these fighters, I can’t help but wonder if we are about to see something along the lines of Tyson - Holyfield II, or Lewis - McCall II.

Something doesn’t feel right about Teo, and I could envision him losing the fight due to some sort of bizarre action due to a psychotic break or an otherwise loss of control.

With the odd feelings I pick up everytime Teo talks, I can’t help but wonder if his life is shaping up to be some sort of tragic tale that we will one day watch documentaries about.

Its such a ****ing dumb thing to say in a sport where you get deaths and serious injures, often multiple, every single year.

I got lopez wining this

bit of a silly comment. You can put the brutality of boxing in to words without mentioning death. Say "I want to render him unconscious" thats severe enough

I quoted the exact words he said.

If that's not what he meant, he shouldn't have said it.

Your alternate quote above is still saying he's cool with a "Body on the Record" if it makes a statement.

You're the one who called out race, brother.

The soft touch replies in this thread just back up what I'm saying.

Is that right? What were you implying when you were whining about why Boxingscene members blast Wilder for threatening ring ****cide but say nothing about Teofimo? What was that alleged double standard about?

[TheOneAboveAll]

How is that race baiting? Wilder got massive hate, yet teo only got the occasional frowns and this wasn't the first time teo said it plus the racial comment on blacks on top of that. You got triggered and all defensive over it means it is the truth. Why get so butthurt over a truth and call others race baiting when they have not even brought up skin color to begin with?

What’s the truth?

[theface07]

Wasn't Teo suicidal recently and now he's talking about killing a man? What a clown this guy is. Hopefully his bad karma gets cashed in and he gets KO'd against Taylor. Every time Teo opens his mouth a load of bile comes out.

[pugil1st]

I'm rooting for Taylor. Teo is unlikeable at this point and I normally root for the guys people hate. Lol
