WBO welterweight Brian Norman Jr. took on compatriot Teofimo Lopez on social media, reacting by saying he did not wish to combat a unification with IBF champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis when he acquired the prospect to face him in November.
Legend of Norman Jr
Brian Norman Jr. (26-0, 20 KOs) informed Teofimo he was “complain about cash » and that he is attempting to maintain his profession alive by speaking about “loopy” so individuals will wish to watch his fights. Followers nonetheless “don’t care” to see him. Norman Jr. then challenged Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) to maneuver as much as 147 in an try and win his WBO belt.
Lopez’s reputation has plummeted since his peak 4 years in the past when he knocked down injured and one-armed Vasily Lomachenko in a 12-round unanimous choice on October 17, 2020. Two have achieved nothing since, defeating smaller fighters dealing with more and more sturdy opposition. the place followers not point out him.
Teo hasn’t been the identical fighter since his match towards Loma, and a few followers assume he is already burned out at 27 years outdated. The combat towards Lomachenko took the most effective of Teofimo, leaving the shell that was misplaced to George Kambosos Jr., who obtained a controversial choice wins Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz.
Currently, Teofimo has began calling out Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Terence Crawford, who’re fully out of his league. These are fights the place he has no likelihood of successful, however there are even fewer matches like this.
If Lopez needed to reinvent himself and be taken critically by followers once more, he would take Norman Jr. up on his provide to combat him for his WBO welterweight belt. Capturing that title would give Teofimo a bargaining chip to combat Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs), who is decided to win each title at welterweight for no matter cause. I
The cash Lopez would make combating Norman Jr. will not be enormous, however he must view the combat as an funding in his future. If he can win that title, it might open the door for a combat towards Boots and presumably among the different prime welterweights, like Conor Benn.
You did not wish to combat Boots once you had the prospect. All due to $$$$… I fought Lomachenko, the #1 P4P, and went dwelling with lower than $500,000. You do not imagine in your self and that is all a fighter must win, however hey, good luck together with your tune-up. @OfficialBNorman #Boxing
