Teofimo Lopez said he had no choice but to slap Arnold Barboza Jr. at yesterday’s press conference after eliminating his cowboy hat from his head during their confrontation in Los Angeles. The Welter WBO Light Teofimo weight champion (21-1, 13 KB) slapped Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 ko) with a left hand, causing a brief fight under the scene.
Barboza Jr. had to be retained from rushing to Teofimo to throw strokes. He looked furious. However, it was his own fault for having caused this incident by dropping Lopez’s hat from his head. We do not know what he said to Arnold to put him angry enough to eliminate his hat, but that could be the frustration of waiting for three years for this opportunity to fight him.
“It is by law. You don’t touch anyone. He touched my hat and I had all the rights, “Teofimo Lopez told the mediaExplaining why he slapped Arnold Barboza Jr. during their face yesterday in Los Angeles.
During the press conference, the two fighters entered a back and forth of garbage, using explanations and taking it essentially. Brooklyn, from New York, Teofimo is his element, slipping into his game name and he really seemed to have fun. For him, it was like a flashback on his young days in Brooklyn, people-in-appeal.
What will be interesting, how are other press conferences and facets are made between Teo and Barboza Jr. will they be able to do it without attacking?
