Gabe Rosado gives the pretender Arnold Barboza Jr. The advantage against Master WBO Airy Welter Intraters, Teofimo Lopez in their 12-round fight Undercard on May 2 on Fatal Fury Card on Dazn PPV at the Times Square in Modern York.
Release Teofimo
Rosado believes that Barboz Jr. (32-0, 11 KO) is now in “rhythm” in his career because he has recently been lively and defeated a good opposition. In the last two fights, Barboz defeated Jacek Catterall and Jose Ramirez. He catches Teo from almost a year of dismissal.
Gabe says that Barbozy’s skills and his last victories over Catterall and Ramirez will give him enough advantage to defeat Lopez.
“I think Barboza has a little advantage just because he is on the rhythm. He is lively. He is busy. Teofimo has been out of the ring for a long time, and I think Teofimo is a rhythmic warrior. So being so long can hurt him,” said Gabe Rosado Fight Hub tvChoosing Arnold Barboza Jr. to defeat Teofimo Lopez on May 2 at Times Square, Modern York.
As long as Barboza is not hit by one of the massive shots Teofimo early, she has a good chance of winning. Lopez is best at the beginning of his fights when he is in full strength. He descends as the fight progresses and loses many snaps on his power shots.
“Teo is a special warrior with special abilities. It is tough to defeat him, but now it’s time to beat him just because he was inactive. I think Barboza was so busy that his confidence is high. So now it’s time. Barboza has him in the right place,” Gabe said.
Lopez has been leaving his 11-month release since his fight with Stev Claggett in June last year and has not fought with a solid warrior since February last year, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision against Jamaine Ortiz. In this fight he could not do well, losing almost every exchange with Ortiz and I am lucky. Barboz Jr. He definitely catches Teo at the right moment and has a great chance to win.
Technical advantage
“Barboza has a technique to control this power and speed. It has foundations. So, what overcomes the speed and all this unconventional? Remember. [Marco Antonio] Barrera, Barrera was technically solid. He ripped and controlled Hamed because he was technically vigorous and was on the rhythm – said Gabe
The way Barboza Jr. He neutralized the tough style of Jake Cattell at the beginning of this year in Manchester, he was impressive. Barboz Jr. He avoided many pointed meters from Cattell and defeated it in front of the 12-round fans divided by a decision. Teofimo shots are much easier to predict than Cattell. If Arnold could do it to this guy, he would do the same against Teo and detriment to him on May 2.
“So we could see it with Teo and Barboza. The skills and foundations of Barbozy keep Teofimo on a regular basis. He does not intend to fall in love with Feints and will not be too aggressive. I think that he will be patient, that Barbosa will not have time and he will be on the right path, and he will be legal and he will be legally and he will be.
“He is certainly himself. He went abroad, won the title and defeated [Jose] Ramirez also abroad. So it’s closed. When the warrior is closed and lively, he is threatening – said Rosado.

Canelo warned his path back to undisputed status would be blocked: ‘I’m standing in his way’
Published

April 25, 2026
Canelo Alvarez could face some grave resistance if he tries to become a three-time undisputed 168-pound champion.
The 35-year-old hasn’t fought since last September, when he lost his four major super middleweight titles in a unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford.
However, judging by his results, the Mexican is still able to compete at the world level, just not with such a great generation as Crawford.
But still, Canelo is ready to secure a world title shot in his next outingwhich is scheduled to take place on September 12 in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.
Among the names mentioned as potential opponents is Christian Mbilli, who was elevated from “interim” to full WBC champion shortly after Crawford’s retirement.
Earlier, the Frenchman achieved a fascinating 10-round draw with Lester Martinez, who was on the Canelo-Crawford card.
As for the other 168-pound champions, there’s also Jose Armando Resendiz and Osleys Iglesias, with Hamzah Sheeraz seeking to capture the vacant WBO world title on May 23.
Standing in his way is Al Begic, whom the 26-year-old must defeat on the card in the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven match before setting his sights on a fight with Canelo.
Ultimately, however, Sheeraz actually sees himself fighting the four-division world champion Ring Magazine that he can apply the WBO belt as a bargaining chip.
“I have to admit it would be nice to get Canelo. And of course it would be a lot more lucrative if I won the world title earlier.
“I’m sure his plan is to try and become undisputed [champion] again, God willing, I will become world champion on May 23. I will stand in the way of him becoming undisputed [champion].
“Maybe we will finally fight for all the belts. I feel like this fight can definitely blossom in the future.”
For an undisputed clash between Canelo and Sheeraz to take place, the pair must win their next fights well and together dethrone the remaining champions in their division.

Mauricio Sulaiman claims that Crawford knew in advance that he would have to pay $300,000. dollars fee for WBC
Published

Mauricio Sulaiman says Terence Crawford was aware of the WBC’s reported $300,000 penalty charge long before his undisputed fight against Canelo Alvarez last September, providing a different version of the recent dispute over the champion’s title costs
The WBC president addressed the issue during a recent interview after Crawford publicly questioned why the organization would not honor terms that he believed had been accepted by other sanctioning bodies. Sulaiman said the amount had already been communicated in advance and was not a surprise once the fight was finalized.
“He knew well in advance what the WBC estimated for this particular fight and it was supposedly 300,000. That was the upper limit,” Ring Champs said of Crawford before his fight with Canelo.
Sulaiman added that this amount is lower than the percentage the organization says it can collect under its regulations. He said the WBC capped the fee rather than applying the full rate.
The dispute became a topic of discussion after Crawford publicly responded to previous comments related to the sanctions process. Sulaiman avoided escalating the exchange, saying he did not want to personally criticize Crawford.
“I’m not going to talk bad about Crawford,” Sulaiman said.
He also said that fighters and promoters receive contracts and terms before title fights are approved, describing the process as standard practice and not something created for a single event.
“There are contracts. When you as a promoter give in and get sanctioned, there are rules,” Sulaiman said.
When a player earns tens of millions, the standard 3% suddenly becomes sedate money, and that’s when the backlash usually begins.
The comments highlight a long-standing problem in boxing, where sanction fees are often accepted during negotiations but become controversial when vast funds are involved. Huge fights usually reveal how much power the belts still carry.
