Lightweight champions in the white category Richardson Hitchins (19-0, 7 Kos) and Teofimo Lopez (21-1, 13 ko) are close to the contract for the fight in May or June. This would be one of the seasonal events in Riyadh.
Next up: Hitchins
Ring Magazine reports This WBO champion Theophimo, 27, and IBF’s Hitchins strap, are almost finalized. This match has been discussed since Brooklyn, a native of New York, Lopez signed a three-fighting contract with Turks al-Sheikh.
This is an agreement that could end with a disaster for Theophimo, and career is faced with oblivion if it loses all three fights for the Turks, which is predictable. The idea that floated is that Theophimo will run glove Through these three fights:
- Richardson Hitchins
- Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis – October
- Ryan Garcia Vs. Devin Haney – *Losers of the carrier
If Teofimo throws him through these three struggles without the Turks to pull the plug on him, it is predictable that he will be 0-3, moving in his career career. What will be interesting is to see which promoter wants to sign Teofimo after he finishes these three fights. Would still be popular in Adrien Broner On the way, but he will be considered to be boxing fans as a hardcore box.
Theophimo could still cause interest in his struggle with his garbage, but as far as any of the killer at 140 is concerned, he would be useless. You couldn’t put theoa with guys like Ernesto Mercado, Barbose, Catterall or Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuel and expect it to be winning.
Lopez is largely viewed as a one -di -dietary miracle, known for his victory over the injured, smaller and much older Vasily Lomachenko in 2020. Everything Teofimo has done since then is bad.
Lopez looked slightly awful in five of the six fights he had since the fracture conflict and was gifted with several decisions against Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz. Perhaps the most amazing cut was Teofimo who defeated George Cambosos Jr. who defeated things in the perspective on how much damage Lomachenko did to New Yorker.
Some fans believe Lomachenko destroyed Teofimo with the punishment he managed in that fight. Although Teo beat the narrow decision, Lomachenko got a pound of meat, leaving him as if he had since looked like a shell of his former self.
Touching the mandatory
The World Boxing Organization recently ordered Teofima to defend himself against the winner on February 14 between the #1 Arnold Barboz Jr. and #2 Jack Catterall. Interestingly, Teo never defended his WBO 140 Light Welterweight Title from Victory Against Fade, Josh Taylor Store 10 June 2023.
However, with Lopez who fights Hitchin in the United State that included their two belts, Teofimo can bypass the WBO command to defend himself against the winner of the JR-Catterall bar.
This is a good thing for Teo because he would probably lose any of these fighters, and that would send his career downhill, which he will do anyway after he completed his contract with three fights with Turki.
He avoids defeat against this type, but still confronted with a nightmare of three fights that will make him one of the untouchable classes of fighters. Teofim’s career will imploded like a submarine that has reached its tear down depths in the ocean.
