Teofimo Lopez said his verbal exchange with Ryan Garcia last Tuesday at the kick -off press conference was his attempt to get him out of his role as a right character he played to have him put the promotion of their May 2 event in Times Square in New York.
Ryan’s “character”
Lopez (21-1, 13 KB) estimated that Ryan and the other fighters at the table on stage make fans boring. The idea is to connect with the people who command the event on PPV.
Teo said Garcia thought he was “Discreditor” The event fighters saying they were boring. It was boring because fighters only say good things about each other, making it a prize ceremony instead of a promotion.
We do not know if Kingry has been said to play well because it is an event of the Riyadh season, and Turki Alashikh tries to bring boxing back to his old glory as one of the main sports.
May 2 Mega-Cartes
– Ryan Garcia against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero
– Devin Haney against Jose Ramirez
– Teofimo Lopez against Arnold Barboza Jr.
“After this exchange, Ryan told me that he thought that I discredited the fighters, but at least I got him out of his character,” Teofimo Lopez told TEOFIMO Box About the verbal exchange of back and forth that he had with Ryan Garcia on stage last week Tuesday at the Kin New York kick-off to promote their Times Square event on May 2.
Teofimo did not release Ryan out of character. He was mainly told to be silent by Ryan, who continued to say beautiful things, and never went to waste conversation mode. His opponent, Rolly, acted as if he was afraid of the scene and seemed too nervous to speak.
“The character he was trying to play was to be more sincere, relaxed and apologized, and trying to have a clear face and a clean image,” continued Lopez about Ryan. “This is something we understand, but there is something in this boxing game. People will always remind you of what you have done or say. »»
Resuming
“So no need for that. Be yourself, be who you are. Regarding Ryan, I’m just happy. I just say to him, “Listen, I do my part. Either you, or jump and do your part with me, or I will take over as I did on Tuesday. I think I’m in their heads. All these fighters you saw at this table, I am in all their heads, ”said Lopez.
It is important that TEO takes control of press conferences because it is likely that other fighters continue to play cool. Haney seems to have been shaken with his defeat against Ryan Garcia last April and did not feel comfortable talking about a trash can. His father, Bill Haney, was absent from the press conference. He would have been an important figure to live things.
“A hard competitor. These are the vibrations I receive from him. He is someone who is hungry, but he is one of those guys who sees red like a bull and he is about to run directly in a wall. That’s all I can say, “said Teofimo when he was asked about his reflections about his opponent, Arnold Barboza Jr., to whom he will defend his Welter WBO weight title on May 2.
“Any fighter they have put in front of Teofimo will be my most difficult. So, I’m not going to ignore Barboza. I look forward to what he will bring to the table that evening, Friday evening, and we will show him the lights of Friday evening. We will show him the origin of that.
“No matter where you have traveled, whether you want to cross the pond or anything. When you face Teofimo, we take over, “said Lopez.
