Fans do not give Teofimo Lopez a good chance to defeat the united welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Turki Alalshikh mentioned during the Thursday press conference that he was talking to the promoter Eddie Hearn about the fight of Ennis vs. Lopez. If it is made, this fight may take place next.

Even Hearn perceives the fight as a mismatch, but he favors her. It makes sense. At Ennis, he fights with a smaller Lopez (22-1, 13 KO), which will debut at the age of 147.

Fans do not like the fight of ennis-lopz for these reasons

  • Potential mismatch: The shoes are much larger, stronger and should fight for 154. Lopez will be spatial and dissatisfied to compete with Ennis. Teofimo has not shown power from growth to 140 in 2018.
  • Delays the undisputed purpose of Ennis: Ennis wants to capture all welterweight titles to become unquestioned as soon as possible. Fans want Jaron to hurry with this superficial goal to go to 154 and test against the killers, Vergil Ortiz, Bakrham Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fund.
  • Defense Style Teofimo: Lopez looked at the excessive defensive in his last fight with Arnold Barboza Jr., throwing a few blows, moves a lot and claundry. It was like watching Shakur Stevenson’s fight, and the fans were bored. Lopez’s fight was one of the most hard on the card.
  • Lopez’s racist remarks: Many fans were livid with Teofimo Word in the last video clip on social media. Some

Turk’s fight vision

“I talk to Eddie Hearn to make shoes and Teofimo– said Turki Alalshikh on Thursday Start press conference In Up-to-date York, pre -paid on July 12.

“I know for sure that they are trying to fight Teofimo, but he is trying to throw me under the bus, while he does it so that he can try to look a bit better,” said Brian Norman Jr. For social boxing. “I’m trying not to say it on shoes. This is for me [for why the fight isn’t happening].

Hearn recently mentioned submitting the offer of WBO Master Wytreight Nomeran Jr. (27-0, 21 KO) for the unification of the fight against “Boots” Ennis, but he was told that they wanted to first draw his defense against Jin Sakaki (19-1, 17 KO). This fight takes place next month on June 19 at OTA-Cita General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.

Norman believes that the only reason why Hearn mentioned the media that he had made an offer was that he tried to make them look bad. There may be some of them or Hearn wanted to show his warrior, Ennis, that he actively tried to set union matches. This makes Hearn look better in Boot’s eyes if he tries to assist him achieve his goal, which is the undisputed champion.

“There are still great fights in the league. I don’t need him. He needs me,” said Norman Jr. About Ennis. “I’m here, doing my job. I’m preparing to fight in Japan [against Jin Sasaki]. I am a world warrior. I am also trying to fight in Great Britain. I am trying to make a whole heritage about what is happening. So I don’t necessarily need it, but I still want the fight to happen. “

Norman Jr. He should forget about Ennis and let the fight marinate for a year or two. If he continues the fight, he won’t bring him money, which in a few years. Of course, if Turks Alalshikh offers him a huge enough purse, it is different. Hearna’s offer for Norman Jr. In the amount of $ 1.7 million for the struggle of unification in September last year there was a change in Chump compared to what he could get while waiting. In the meantime, Norman Jr. He can get a huge payment of Conor Benn after he faces Chris Eubank Jr. in the rematch.

“I would love to fight Conor Bennem. I know that at the moment he was associated with Eubank Jr.

This is a greater fight for Norman Jr. than a unification match with Boot Ennis. Benn is very popular in Great Britain and the fight between him and Norman Jr. She would sell.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
