Teofimo Lopez: “I’m not racist,” explains Crawford conversations, rejects bananas charges and focuses on the road to the potential mega-bodies

Teofimo Lopes told the media today that he was not a racist and that people mistakenly thought that he was the one who sent the bananas to the Keyshawn Davis locker room in the week of his struggle with Denys Berinchyk.
Crawford Talk
WBO’s champion in the lightweight category Lopez (21-1, 13 ko) cleared some comments he gave about Terrence Crawford. He says they have already talked about it and let him know that he is just trying to fight him.
In order for Teofimo to have any chance of getting a big mega fight against Crawford, he has to win in his upcoming match against Arnold Barboz JR. on May 2 at Times Square, New York. This important struggle could lead to confronting Jaron’s ‘boots’ Ennis in October.
“I think the tank did what he had to do. It was a great fight. I think you should make a rematch,” said Teofimo Lopez Media When asked about his thoughts about last Saturday’s struggle between Gervont Davis and Lamont Roach. “I felt that Roach did enough as far as combinations were concerned, but at this point it doesn’t really matter. It’s a boxing job, guys,” Lopez said when asked by a tank in the ninth color.
Lopez is one of the few people who believed that the champion in the lightweight category of WBA Gervont Davis did enough to win the fight against Lamont Roach last Saturday. Teofimo did not seem too worried that the tank had taken his knee and the judge who was blowing in the ninth.
“I still think Gervont will win against Shakur. Me and Crawford we connected. So, we already talked about what he was. He asked me what it was about, and I said, ‘I’m trying to fight all of you. I try to fight you in 154,” Teofimo said about how to clean things with Terrence Crawford about some racist comments he gave in in the media.
“The whole thing was quite this. He is [Crawford] Will not fight anyone until he gets Canelo, who is in September and at the Allegiant Stadium [in Las Vegas]. So all these things are out for me through the window. So all I can do now is to get a sparring session, I guess [with Crawford]. “
Teofimo will have to win all three of his struggles on a contract with Turki Alalshikh to have the opportunity to fight Crawford because he will not strive to face him if he is beaten. Some fans believe that Teo will lose all three of his struggles with his contract with Turks.
Waste
“They don’t hate those good ones. They had great, “Lopez said when asked about people, the question of his achievements.” That’s just part of it. It’s competition and currency. No matter what, I’m a champion. I’m the only champion [at the Fatal Fury press conference] at this table. I’m all alone.
“We are all racist, each of us. Do you know why? Because we are against one true race that is most important. Human gender. We are all divided. We are all divided. 10,000 religions all of us. We are all black. I got an Africa tattoo. I got Africa there. They said that the first human being was a monkey named Lucy. I am not a racist.
“That’s the way you take it. The banana is potassium. You are showing the subject. You have added a stereotype guys. Everything I did with a banana eating and laughing at it. You thought I sent that ***,” Teofimo said about the media and fans, believing that he sent a Banana box to the Keyshawn Davis hotel room in the WBO -Berinchyk February.
