The sudden state of Teofimo Lopez will be the key to his battle against Arnold Barbosa Junior next Friday, on May 2, DAZN PPV. Lopez (21-1, 13 Cos) cannot carry another mental breakdown as we have seen in many of his previous battles, since the past four years, to defeat him in his battle in the Times Square in New York City.

Turki Alalshiph is interested in combating Teofimo Fighting IBF and WBO Welterueng Beemate Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. If Lopez loses to Barbuza, he can forget to get a chance for this huge day and will be stuck with the loser slice in the mini championship.
Crackers in shields
Barboza is the most difficult battle that Lopez has taken since his clash against Jameyan Ortiz last February, and he was seen as a gift decision made by Nevada’s judges in Tio, as he dominated him all the time.

- Non -activity
- Consistently
- Problems with boxers/engines
- Unable to deal with adversity
Arnold (32-0, 11 KOS) is not quickly and does not throw groups the way Jameyan does. He is skilled, moves well, and has an excellent blow. This is a weapon that uses Arnold to defeat his last opponents, Jake Catiraral and Jose Ramirez.
When Tio is in his position, he is great, and it seems that he is not defeated, but he is not consistent enough to be relied upon. He will have to be 100 % to be victorious against Barbosa Junior because this man was more preoccupied in his career than he was. He is fighting at a high level now with his recent victories over Ramirez and Catherral.
“He’s the best in the section now by hitting Josh Taylor,” the father, Tudaimo Lopez, said. DAZN boxingHe talks about his son, WBO Lightweight Teofimo Lopez.
“We must go there and keep this belt, and keep this ring. The ring. So, we will appear on the second of May and appear why we are the best,” Tuvimo Father continued. “It is faster, more intelligent and stronger, and comes to take everything.”
Mental minefield
It is presented by the WBO Lightweight Champion to Lopez and the fragile mental state of the danger in this battle against the mandatory competitor ranked No. 1, Barboza JR. (32-0, 11 kos). Almost a year has passed since the last Battle of Tudaimo against Steve Clagit on June 29.
It did not look good in that battle, as it floats on the ropes like a large bird, allowing the Claggett trip to empty it with heavy artillery without stopping. Although Lopez won, his eyes were swollen badly, and he looked terrible. He was not a promoter, Bob Arum, happy after the battle with his performance.
