Lopez (21-1, 13 CO) will decide whether to defend his WBO lightweight title against Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 kos), will be released or stripped from it a belt from the sanctioning body. Turks Al-Sheikh will decide with whom Theophimo is confronted with.

The influence of Turks

In a Crispiece post from Teofimo of X Today he said this to Turks:

“I shake my crazy head, Turks Alalshih; However, I respect your wishes. From one lion to another. “

Some fans believe that Turks told Theophimo that he wanted him to fight Barbose Jr. and he is dissatisfied with it. Theo turned to the talented Barboza Jr. For four years, ignoring it after moving to 140 and focused mainly on the less opposition.

If Turki forces Theophimo to fight him, the jig can be ready for him and his career. Top Rank supports Lopez with its protective mast, as they did with Keyshawn Davis.

Without they coincide, his career would have been a long time ago, because he was not the fighter that people thought after his victory over Vasily Lomachenko five years ago.

“Theophimo has a back against the corner. Now people know why he has patted me for the past four years, “said Arnold Barbosa, Jr. Ring magazine Tonight we are talking about how he has a WBO Light heavyweight champion Teofimo Lopez, trapped after defeating Jack Cattle in the 140 -pound title eliminator to make Theo binding on.

“Now it's time to place or close or release. So, let's see what he does. I think if you put me and Theo in Alcatraz, I think it will be an incredible war. This one is coming to war. My manager gets on this. He goes to Saudi Arabia and will probably talk to Turks and see what we can do, “said Barbosa, Jr.
