Theofimio Lopez will soon decide whether he wants to keep his title in the VBO lighting of the Light Vestile or focus on his potential fight against IBF 147-lb Champion Jaron ‘Boots’ on Turki Al-Sheikh’s Riadh card.
VBO Deadline
The ring reports that the World Boxing Organization ordered TeoFimo (21-0, 13 Kos) to defend the 140 lb wins against the winner 15. February in the second. February. VBO Arnold Barboza Jr. (31-0, 11 KOS) and # 2 Jack Catteral (30-1, 13 ko).
Theo must defend its VBO title against the winner of that fight within 180 days, with a deadline 14. August. Although it is certainly possible that the Lopez defends your title against the winner of the Barbose JR-Katala at the time, it seems 100% unrealistic that it will do so due to the risk of losing it.
‘Brooklyn vampire“As some fans call theofimo, it is well protected by its promoters in the ultimate rank for the last four years from George Cambosos Jr. They were presented in 12 years of defeating Split Decision 2021. Years.
Even with a careful top rank, it seemed theofimo, it was still supposed to be preserved from the defeat of the presence of judges in his fights against Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz in 2022 and 2024. Years.
It is said that theo was fighting unification against IBF with a light champion Richardson Hitchins (19-0, 7 Kos), probably in April within the three-year offer Lopez signed from Turki Al-Sheikh.
However, since Theophic did not mention that fight in interviews, it suggests that he delays that risky match. Lopez would traditionally avoid That kind of fight with each UNCOM of your being. It’s not capable of beating a high level talent like Hitchins, and he would look stupid trying.
If the Turks wants Theify that fighting him against Hitchins, he may need to pay him excess tears or drag him into the ring and screaming. It is unclear how much it would want to fight Hitchins, but it would not be surprising that it was an absurd number.
It’s a terrible game for Lopez and would take him to a bad start of one-sided loss in her three fighting with Turkey. It would not be bad for Al-Sheika if he had an escape clause in his contract to allow him to get out of work if he immediately lost in his first fight.
If theo rejects Hitchins in one-sided defeat, it would be useless Turkish to combat ‘boots’ to their October ticket in Riyadh. Boxing fans would not want Teophimo to return to Ennis from the back of loss and four terrible occasions against Steve Claggett, Jamaine Ortiz, Sandora Martin and George Cambosos Jr.
