It is believed that Norman Jr. It would jump to the opportunity to fight Teophimo Lopez, but interest has not been mutual. Theophimo has focused too much on fighting boys like Arnold Barboza Jr., Steve Claggett and Jamaine Ortiz at 140. It was a safe struggle for him. Confronting -Norman Jr. It would be a potential disaster for Lopez.

“Yes, but against who?” said Teofimo Lopez to Fighthype When he told her Brian Norman Jr. He looked well in his knockout victory over Jin Sasaki earlier this month on June 19. “Anyone may look good until you take it to the next level. That’s why they have been talking about other fighters and not theophimo. I wonder why.”

Norman Jr. Too dangerous?

It is a bad fight for theophimo because Norman Jr. He has too much power and harshness for him. We have already seen Teo’s level with his struggles against Jamaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin, Steve Claggett and George Kamboses. López hurts the pressure fighters. The boys who do well are pure boxers, such as Arnold Barboza Jr. and Josh Taylor.

“ I could go to 147 or keep and retain the belts at 140. I feel like in the 140th, I was indisputable. No one had (Josh) Taylor. He was unbeaten. He gave up belts, but did not lose his belts and still had the linear, which is the most important. This is what I carry, and I have defended it three times, ” said Lopez.

If theophimo goes to 147, it will not be challenged by Brian Norman Jr. for his heavy wbo weight belt. If you were something, Teo would fight against someone like Ryan Garcia or the winner of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios.

The only way theophimo goes to 147 is if a big money offer is made to fight someone who trusts to beat. After the way he took off the negotiations to fight Devin Haney, he showed that it is difficult to treat him.

There are no big fights at 140

There are no big money fights at 140, unless Turki Alralikh wants to finance a struggle between Teophimo and Richardson Hitchins. It is unlikely that Teophimo agreed to fight the WBA champion, Gary Antuanne Russell, as he is a pressure fighter with power. Everything is wrong for him.
