Teofimo Lopez vs Subriel Matias in talks for 2024
Teofimo Lopez wants it in February, while Subriel Matias wants it in March or April to let his hand heal up
By Patrick L. Stumberg


After IBF super lightweight champion Subriel Matias notched his fifth consecutive corner stoppage a few weeks back, the question was obvious: who on Earth could possibly want that smoke?

Turns out, we may already have an answer, as Chris Mannix reports that there “have substantive conversations between [Top Rank] and Matias” to stage a unification with Teofimo Lopez at some point next year.

Per Mannix and Jake Donovan, the current point of contention is the date. Matias (20-1, 20 KO) announced over the weekend that Lopez (19-1, 13 KO) accepted a fight in February, but that Matias wouldn’t be ready until the month after due to hand issues.

Mannix mentions a potential June showdown “on the NYC Puerto Rican Day Parade weekend’ with Teofimo fighting someone else in February.

Lopez does have a mandatory challenger in Arnold Barboza Jr, but he’s presumably not due until a year after Lopez’s win over Josh Taylor, which just so happens to be June.

If you’re reading this site, I don’t have to sell this matchup to you. In terms of pure action potential, it’s as appealing as anything the division has to offer, and I will begrudgingly give Lopez heaps of respect regardless of outcome if he goes through with it. Give us the violence.

Haney did what many expected including the bookies.What he does next is more important , I like the look of Haney ,he's got prospects of being up there with the greats , I just hope his dad doesn't spoil it with his ******ity.

The Haney’s are continuing their 35 year old tour. Of course they wouldn’t call out the best welterweight, who’s also 36.

[ShoulderRoll]

Why are they always targeting 34 year plus boxers?
Loma 35, Regis 34, and now Keith. Gamboa, Linares.

Team Haney has called out Tank Davis too, don’t forget,

But Tank has baby nuts and doesn’t want that smoke. You can’t force the guy to get in the ring with Haney if he doesn’t want to.

I don’t know man. This would be a cross roads fight for Keith Thurman. While Keith is now a washed up and past his prime fighter;

He still has that potent right hand. If he can land it; then Haney could find himself in a whole lot of trouble. Other than that, Devin got this.

Keith needs to worry about Stanionis! If Stanionis beats Thurman, which I expect, let's see if Bill is interested in putting his son in the ring with him!

There's been no word that Thurman-Stanionis is going to be rescheduled - I doubt it will.

the problem with trying to set up a Thurman fight is that he still thinks he is the A-Side. Nobody is going to give him the money he thinks he deserves.

And Bill continues his bullchit tour
They will sign with Slow Eddie and get all the top second tier fighters and Bill will ask if we saw that
He will stuff down our throats that Devin is greater than Floyd and call out another old and washed fighter
The Haney bullchit tour keeps rollin’ into a city near you

[Teetotaler69]

Why this disrespect? Crawford didn't want the smoke. Boots ain't one dimensional damaged Spence. Crawford is a HOF fighter but he ducked Boots.

yeah ok
