Teofimo Lopez had not been at his best tonight in tonight’s boxing in Las Vegas a short time ago in boxing results but got the victory.
He got the points victory but only on a close majority points decision.
One judge had it a stalemate on the cards.
Rolly Romero at 147 points gifted Lopez a belt in many regards some thought.
Some options next for Teofimo Lopez next up;
- Jack Catterall—southpaw stylist who has already called him out
- Undisputed showdown with Devin Haney—Lopez calls it the “end game”
- Mega-fight vs Ryan Garcia—massive money with bad blood attached
- Overseas clash vs Liam Paro—possible payday in Australia
- Super fight with Conor Benn—huge UK crossover event
- Grudge rematch with Shakur Stevenson—avenge his only recent loss
- Showdown with Gervonta Davis—huge PPV event if Tank comes out of retirement
- Tune-up fight—heal the cut eye and adjust to the welterweight division
- Mega-fight in Saudi Arabia—skip mandatories for a massive check
- Rematch with Rolly Romero—controversial decision makes the sequel easy money
In some senses it is actually Rolly Romero that has more options next up available to him.
Teofimo Lopez very poor again tonight, other than displaying some grit and toughness, his technical boxing game is miles off that it had been years ago.
