Mikey Garcia backs Rolly Romero to beat Teofimo Lopez. Teofimo’s fading hunger, low output, and sparring history with Rolly point to trouble Saturday night.
And then some.
He looks very nervous in the build up and he is going up to 147 pounds in live boxing on Saturday night also.
It is a big jump and something he is not used to, he is going in there against a guy that is very familiar to him that has improved hugely since they sparred.
Things to note on this;
- Mikey Garcia says Teofimo’s best days are behind him
- Garcia believes Teofimo’s hunger and focus have faded
- Teofimo only took the fight as a personal grudge match
- He admitted he nearly took the whole year off instead
- He has only one stoppage win since 2022
- He failed to use the jab against Shakur Stevenson
- He relies on single potshots, not combinations
- He says he has been “too nice” in sparring, incorrect mentality
- Rolly knows his habits from 26 rounds of sparring at this point also
That Shakur Stevenson is still fresh in the mind of Teofimo Lopez also earlier this year, Rolly comes into this on a victorious note.
Defeating Ryan Garcia to hold a title at 147 pounds on Saturday night.
All the advantages are pointing to Rolly Romero at the moment.
Entertaining scrap, though, no doubt.
