Teofimo Lopez was physically blocked and thrown out by security after trying to storm the ring following Ryan Garcia’s 85-second KO of Conor Benn. From accusing Rolly Romero of betrayal to calling himself a “phoenix rising from ashes,” the signs of a mental unraveling were building long before tonight’s chaos.
Ryan Garcia called out Lopez to a fight after knocking out Conor Benn tonight but Lopez looked a mess, per the above.
Some notes on this chaotic scene from Lopez a short time ago;
- Lopez tried to climb into the ring after Garcia’s callout and was held back by security.
- Security let Benavidez through earlier to set up a fight, but Lopez was blocked.
- Garcia screamed “I’ll beat you right now” while Lopez fought the blockade.
- Two weeks earlier, Lopez called Romero “my Judas” and accused him of betrayal.
- His father pounded the table yelling “F— yeah!” as Teo called Rolly a fake supporter.
- Lopez was hurt against Romero.
- He compared his comeback to “the spirit of the phoenix rising from ashes.”
- That proved bull crap, Lopez is on the decline in boxing and out of the sport and the above tonight proves it again.
Ryan Garcia called him out after but there are other fights there for Garcia shortly also.
