Teofimo Lopez claims he took it easy on Rolly in sparring — on the eve of the fight. But with no knockout since 2022 and untested power at 147, he’s trying to convince himself more than anyone. Empty talk.
Never be modest in dealing with idiots, that is the person Rolly Romero is dealing with in Teofimo Lopez, disgustingly so judging from the press conference moments ago.
A moron of the highest caliber that moments ago literally at the final press conference nearly on the eve of the fight only just thought to only now say he had gone easy on Rolly in sparring all of a sudden.
All those years ago that they sparred, around nine years ago, he chooses to say this today before the fight on Saturday…
Pathetic. Some notes on this;
- Said it on the eve of the fight — convenient timing to plant doubt in Rolly’s head
- If he really took it easy, why brag about it now? — real killers keep that quiet
- Moving up to 147 means his power is unproven — hasn’t stopped anyone at 140, let alone a natural welterweight
- Sparring is not a real fight — Rolly has a chin and has taken big shots before
- He’s trying to convince himself more than Rolly — projection of his own doubts
- Last knockout was 2022 — that’s a four-year drought at a lighter weight
- At 147, he’s facing bigger, stronger men — physics aren’t on his side
- If he could’ve put Rolly down in sparring, he would have — no one holds back in camp
- Rolly Romero has been dropped only once — by Tank Davis, a devastating puncher Teofimo isn’t
- Empty talk on fight eve screams insecurity — real confidence shows in the ring, not the podium
All these empty threats is impressing no one from Teofimo Lopez.
Let that sink in.
