Lopez Eyes Crawford “Free Fight”, Ennis Showdown, as he faced the defense of the title against Barboza Jr. on the “Fury Fury” card

Theophimo Lopez says he wants to fight the winner of the April 12 fight between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis or Terence Crawford then if he wins his May 2 against Arnold Barboza Jr. Lopez says he would fight against Crawford for “Free”. This seems like a despair.

The Wbo Light Welterweight champion, Lopez (21-1, 13 kos), is already in the Pipeline to fight the heavy weight champion IBF “Boots” Ennis, but has not yet renounced his dreams with the Mega-Lluita against Crawford. This party would bring a lot of money for Teo to challenge the “boots” ennis for their IBF or WBA belts.

Threat of barboza

Theophimo cannot afford to look beyond his defense of the title against Mandatory Wbo Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 kos) at the “Fury Fury” event by Times Square Square in New York City. If Teo loses this struggle, it is questionable if Turki Alralikh will still want to use it as an opponent for Ennis to defend himself in October.

It would look bad if López would put himself in the fight against a shameful loss in Barboza. It would be better for Turki to use Barboza Jr. Hot as the opponent of the boots. It would be interesting to know if Turki has an exhaust clause on his three-fights contract with López, which allows him to throw it off if the JR barboza is eliminated by Barboza.

In other words, a series of security in case theophimo goes to pieces in this struggle. If it were more popular, it could absorb a loss in Arnold without a great thing, but its stock has fallen since 2020. Therefore, Teo’s struggle with Barboza Jr. She is buried at the end of May 2 instead of holder.

‘Free’ struggle target

“I publicly said, I will fight it for free. If I can’t get the boy, I just want to be in the ring with him,” said Teophimo Lopez to Ring Magazine about wanting to fight against Terence Crawford after his defense of May 2 against Arnold Barboza Jr.

“I wish Jaron ‘boots’ ennis in the near future. (I want) to fight the winner of Boots and Stanionis. So it would be fantastic. I’m just pointing to excellence.”
