One of the possible fights being discussed with Pedraza, is a confrontation against Teofimo López, an opponent who brings little appeal to the Puerto Rican boxer's team.
They see no upside in beating an undefeated, rising contender in Lopez - unless there is something of worth at stake.
"The question we have to ask ourselves is what can he bring to the table? To our judgment, nothing. If he wants to use us as a ladder to climb up, he's wrong, "Espada reacted to Carlos Gonzalez. "We're going to look upwards and not answer the call to help elevate someone else.
"It seems that Teofimo thinks that since José looked good against Lomachenko, he can use him to make a name for himself. The only way he would be attractive for us is if there is a title at stake."

I think Loma will use the same excuse, that Lopez doesn't bring anything to the table! That's a shame because it's probably the best fight out there @ 135! I don't see much in the TR stable for Loma. Hopefully Berchelt steps up, since TR is co-promoting him on ESPN!
