Theofimo Lopez claims that Arnold Barboza -Jr. is a “stepped stone”, an ignoring threat

WBO LIGHT CHAMPION in the heavyweight category Theofimo Lopez minimizes the threat that his mandatory Arnold Barbose -Jr. presents, rejecting it as ordinary “Step Stone” For the bigger things in his career, when they fight on May 2 at Times Square in New York.

Theo (21-1, 13 CO) does not want to admit that Barbose (32-0, 11 CO) is the biggest threat to him after his duel with Vasily Lomachenko in 2020.

Although Lopez was later beaten by George Cambosos, Jr. in 2021 and may have been lost by Sandor Martin and Jamine Ortiz, he had to easily win these battles. The judges gave Lopez's gifts against Jamine and Sandor, but he was well sunk.

Barboza Jr. There is a talent that will put the judges in an impossible position: they do not dare to give the victory to the A-Side Teofimo.

“Step Stone”

“This is the biggest struggle in his life and it's just another step in my career and we did it,” said Theophim Lopez to The highest -ranking boxSpeaking of his WBO mandatory Arnold Barbosa, Jr. “Put it in front of me and I will always beat it.

“We will show everyone on May 2, why we are the truth and why we are a myth. I look forward to what Arnold Barbosa wants to bring to the table, but I guarantee you that it is much different when you are in the ring with you for sure, “Theophimo said.

Something made Theophimo feel like now he could walk on water and I don't know what. Was that his last match against Steve Claget? Let's hope, Lopez realizes that the best rank feeds him with a soft work after fighting Jamine Ortiz. He needed confidence after the way he looked in this match.

At the moment, Barboza seems invincible and will take Theophymo at the best case to win this match. In the last two Barboza JR matches, he beat Jack Cattle and Jose Ramirez. Or one of these guys will have an excellent chance to beat Lopez.
