Teofimo Lopez attacks “Punk” on Haney

Teofimo Lopez told Devin Haney he was thinking about their March 25 fight, calling him out on “punk bitch” in social networks. WBO light welterweight champion Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) seems bitter that Devin didn’t accept an offer to fight him.

The offer was $2.4 million with a 55-45 split in favor of Teofimo, who believes he deserved the bigger cut because he’s the “king” of the 140-pound division. Haney is only a former champion, coming off a loss to Ryan Garcia on April 20th.

The Circle of the Haney Wolves

Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will fight on March 25 at BLT Prime against an opponent that has yet to be announced. The boxing public will be very interested to see who Haney faces on this date because he can pick almost anyone.

Fighters aren’t afraid to fight Haney after how Garcia exposed him in a 12-round majority decision win. He looked so bad in that loss to Kingry that the wolves of 140 surround him, seeing him as easy prey. One of the wolves is Teofimo. He knows wounded prey when he sees it.

many Ryan Garcia believes ruined Haney, and is no longer considered elite or level A. His decision to wrestle at BLT Prime next March 25th furthers the fan belief that Devin is mentally and physically broken.

Devin hit the cover three times in this fight, and many believe the referee saved him from being knocked out in the seventh round by stopping the action to take a point out of Ryan for hitting on the break.

At that point, Haney was about to be knocked out by Garcia. Since the New York State Athletic Commission later overturned Haney’s loss, it wouldn’t have mattered if Ryan knocked him out.

Teofimo is expected to fight former IBF 140-pound champion Subriel Matias (21-2, 21 KOs) on March 15 on ESPN+ on a card promoted by Top Rank. Lopez has had a hard time getting the big names to fight him.

He has called out Terence Crawford, Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Haney, Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis. The only ones interested in fighting Lopez are lightweight contenders Keyshawn Davis and Matias. He’s not interested in fighting Keyshawn because he’s not a star.

With Teofimo! GOSA PUNK @Realdevinhaney https://t.co/kZDQuZ5gbq
