Teofimo Lopez says that his verbal exchange with Ryan Garcia last Tuesday during the Kickoff press conference was his attempt to force him to leave his role in the character in which he played to revive their promotion on May 2 at the Times Square in Up-to-date York.

Ryan’s “character”

Lopez (21-1, 13 KO) believed that Ryan and other warriors at the table on the stage made him monotonous for fans. The idea is to connect with people ordering the event at PPV.

Teo says Garcia thought he was “Discreditting” Fighters in this event saying they were monotonous. It was monotonous because the warriors did not say only good things about themselves, making this ceremony of prizes instead of promotion.

We do not know if Kingry was ordered to play, because it is Riyadh’s seasonal event, and Turki Alalshikh is trying to bring boxing to its former glory as one of the main sports.

May 2 Mega-Card

– Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero
– Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez
– Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboz Jr.

“After this exchange, Ryan mentioned to me that he felt that I was discrediting fighters, but at least I pulled him out of his character,” said Teofimo Lopez to Boxnation About the cultivated stock exchange with Ryan Garcia on the stage last week on Tuesday during the Up-to-date York cinema press conference to promote their Times Square event on May 2.

Teofimo did not pull Ryan out of character. Basically, he was told that he would close through Ryan, who was still saying cold things and never went into conversation mode. His opponent, Rolls, behaved as if he had fear on stage and seemed too nervous to speak.

“The figure he tried to play was more sincere, relaxed and apologizing, and an attempt to have a clear face and a pure image,” continued Lopez about Ryan. “This is something we understand, but there is something in this boxing game. People always remind you of what you have done or said. “

Take over

“So there is no need for it. Be yourself or who you are. As for Ryan, I’m just content. I just tell him: “Listen, I do my role. Either you jump and do your role with me, or I will take control like on Tuesday. I believe I am in their whole head. All the fighters you saw at this table, I’m in their heads – said Lopez.

It is vital that Teo takes over press conferences because it is likely that other warriors will continue to play. Haney seems to be shaken with his loss to Ryan Garcia in April last year and does not feel comfortable rubbish. His dad, Bill Haney, disappeared at a press conference. He would be an vital figure to live.

“A challenging competitor. These are the vibrations that I get from him. He is someone who is hungry, but he is one of those guys who sees red like a bull and intend to fall into the wall. That’s all I can say, “said Teofimo, when asked about his thoughts about the opponent, Arnold Barbozy Jr., whose vigorous scale defends WBO, May 2.

“Every warrior who set before Teofimo will be my most challenging. So I’m not going to overlook Barbozy. I am looking forward to what he will bring on the table that night, on Friday evening, and we will show him Friday lights. We will show him the origin of this.

“It doesn’t matter where you traveled, regardless of whether you want to cross the pond or so on. When you face Teofimo, we take control – said Lopez.
