Coach Robert Garcia favors Arnold Barboza to beat WBO Light Welterweight Champion Theophimo Lopez on May 2. Because of the great ride he recently had. Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 Kos) comes out of victory backwards over Jack Catterall and Jose Ramirez. It’s hard to watch.
Barboza is accurate with its strokes and it is very difficult to guess. It is similar to Jamaine Ortiz, a fighter for which Teofimo had major problems in their fight on February 8 last year. Jamaine made Teo look bad in that fight.
Arnold’s advantages
– Recent activity
– Better opposition
– Castle accuracy
– Jab
– Mobility
Not just Barboza Jr. who is his more traffic fighter who gives him an advantage. Recently, he has been facing better opposition than Lopez, which is calculated. Top Rank did not match Teo with his loss with George Cambosos Jr. -om 2021, and some believe that they protect their investment.
It’s hard to claim against it, watching the fighters Teofimo has faced in the last four years. He continued to win, but his popularity ranked because he did not fight the opposition at a high level.
Lopez (21-1, 13 ko) struck Barboza Jr. During their press conference on Monday, and he hit the roof. Arnold says Teo “crossed the line” and he would take him out on him in their fight at Times Square, New York.
“They don’t love each other and they went to that. It was a pretty heavy slap. It will be more a fan, but that’s part of the sport,” said Robert Garcia HUB TV fights About Teofima Lopez by hitting Arnold Barboza Jr. -At during their press conference in Los Angeles.
“I think Arnold is currently on a great ride with two good victories [Jack Catterall and Jose Ramirez] Return and returns soon. That favors him, “Robert continued on Barbozi Jr.” This will be his third fight for less than a year. I think activity is a great advantage for Arnold.
“Obviously you can’t count Teofimo. He’s a talented fighter and a smart man in the ring. He knows how to do it when he’s at the best.
Lopez’s striking power and aggression is what goes to him because he can knock out Barboza Jr. or hurt him if he can catch him with one of his shots when he enters. Arnold likes to jump in to throw shots, and that puts him in a vulnerable situation in which he can oppose. Catterall landed on him several beautiful shots, but he had no power to hurt him.
He crossed the line! May 2
