Teofimo López declares ‘the next face of Latinos’ after Canelo Alvarez

Teofimo López says that he is anxious to become “the next face of Latinos” once Canelo Álvarez retires from boxing. López (21-1, 13 kos) believes that he has the talent to take care of Canelo as’ the face “once he leaves the sport.

Canelo is expected to continue fighting for another three years, but has been on a semi-iriro tour. Teofimo can take care of Latinos’s face because Álvarez is playing safely, avoiding sharks in 168 and 175.

Latin legacy

Teo is willing to take risks and give Fand the fights they want to see. This is how you become the face of boxing. Gervonta Davis and Canelo have dropped the ball in that regard.

The WBO Light welter champion, Teofimo, will need to raise his game to become the next star with Latinos. He looked marginal in four of his five fights to 140 and was lucky with the trial of not having two additional losses.

López is defending his OMB belt against his mandatory Arnold Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 kos) in a fight on May 2 on Times Square in New York City. Many boxing fans are choosing Barboza Jr. to win that fight because he has a hot hand at this time, defeating José Ramírez and Jack Catteral in their last two fights.

If Teofimo wins that fight, I could challenge the Welter weight champion of the Fib Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in October. That is a fight that could jump to theo in the first place if it expires Ennis.

“Place how the helpless due to the commercial point of view, I am the helpless in terms of bets and everything, no, I am not,” Teofimo López told Shawn Porter’s YouTube Channel, speaking of his fight against Arnold Barboza Jr. on May 2.

López is one of those guys that works best when he ignores it in a fight. He is not a good favorite when he is expected to do well, as we saw in his fights against Jamaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin and George Kambosos Jr.

“Next face”

“I feel that I am the next face for Latinos after Canelo Álvarez, although Canelo waited for Mexicans, I’m sorry to say that God chose me. Once Canelo is out, I will be the face of Latinos. It will be perfect because I speak more English, but then we will begin to record a little more in my Spanish language barrier.

“I am dreaming big. I have earned it, and I deserve it, and I have received it. In addition to that, it’s about clinging to him. It is much easier to win and go for these things instead of keeping them. You are seeing them now with my division.
