Theophimo: Why did he deny Haney Fight: The feared robbery and the demand

Theophimo Lopez revealed tonight on social media that his decision not to fight Devin Haney in Saudi Arabia on August 16 was because he felt that the only way to win was to eliminate Dev. López says that Haney (32-0, 15 kos) is near with Turki Alralikh. Therefore, if he went to Riyadh to fight him, he would not have won unless he would remove him.

López Fear Haney Robbery

López (22-1, 13 kos) did not want to give them the opportunity to steal it. He was also worried that even if he had won, Haney’s team had fought a way to sue it to get the victory. He thinks they don’t care to lose. The Haney just want the money and then they will sue.

“Why even give people the possibility that they thought they could do something?” said Teofimo Lopez social media As to why he chose not to accept fighting Devin Haney on August 16 in Riad, Saudi Arabia. “Tank talks about how he heard that Haney is his boy.”

López says he would do Devin a favor fighting him because his stock is so low after his performance on May 2 card in Times Square in New York against Jose Ramirez. They need it.

“So, if Haney is his boy and they want him to go like that, he does not claim it without claiming that I am intended to lose while I’m there?” Theophimo said. “The only way to win is to eliminate it, and that also said Tank. The only way to do the job is to do it out and I don’t take off my competition.”

The way Haney moved against Ramirez, Teophim would not have the opportunity to do it out because he would move and keep all night.

Contract issues denied refusal

“Things did not meet contractually. I am not going to go there (Saudi Arabia) and I don’t know what will happen … This only helps the Haneys. The Haneys do not care (losing -they need the money and they will find out how to sue -me. Telling them, punching and not just moving around 12 rounds,” said Teo on Devin.

“I grew up with many different styles. This is not boxing (as Haney fights). They should fight against Haney,” said Teofimo.
