Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: "Teofimo Lopez Has Those Special Qualities"

[crimsonfalcon07]

Some of those special qualities appear to be the "special education" kind. Just saying... Kid has mental issues.

Lopez is loud and controversial, giving radio jockeys and fans topics to
debate weather you hate him or love him.....but speak about him. I remember
about 5 years ago, Teo says during post fight interview "Today's Ko will
likely make ESPN sports channel...free advertisement....Let's not forget
it's a business to the fighter and everyone else who wants a slice of that
paycheck. .

There are some questions regarding the credibility of Teofimo's two most notable victories. It has been argued that Lomachenko fought him while dealing with a pre-existing shoulder injury, which required immediate rotator surgery after the fight. Despite this, Lomachenko demonstrated an ability to control the pace of the fight and walking down Teo in the latter half. It is worth noting that Teofimo declined a rematch with Lomachenko once he had fully recovered and was at his peak performance. Additionally, the Josh Taylor that Teofimo faced was perceived to be a lesser version of his former self, lacking the same capabilities and prowess. Then there's Teofimo's loss to Kambosos. His failure to seek redemption following that loss raises questions about his consistency as a fighter. Teo’s foray into the 140 lb. weight division has been less than spectacular. His performance against Sandor Martin was unconvincing and left a lot to be desired. Teo's performances to date can best be described as unpredictable, as either exceptional or completely underwhelming. He needs to string together fights where he is consistent in showing the qualities expected of an elite fighter.
