E279 - Teofimo Lopez is so frustrating | Teofimo Lopez vs. Jamaine Ortiz recap

The Fight Library

Teofimo Lopez is good until he's not. For such a talented fighter, he consistently under performs against lesser competition, especially that loss to George Kambosos Jr. His win over Jamaine Ortiz last

Thursday was exactly that: under performing. 0:00 Intro 0:13 Teofimo Lopez has a focus problem 7:51 Will Jamaine Ortiz ever be champion? 11:24 Keep Teofimo Lopez away from Crawford 14:52 Is Keyshawn Davis ready for 135 elite? While I thought Teofimo Lopez won the fight, I can understand the scorecards for Jamaine Ortiz. But to call it a robbery is silly. With all that said, Teofimo Lopez did consistently struggle with Jamaine Ortiz when it came to hand speed and size. He bullied Vasyl Lomachenko around. He was faster than Josh Taylor. Jamaine Ortiz took those advantages away. I do believe that Jamaine Ortiz will be champion one day. Looking at the state of 140, it's possible he gets the fight with Rolly Romero and Isaac Cruz' winner. But after that loss it may take a win or two. We will discuss how Ortiz really used his size to not let Teofimo Lopez bully him around as he's done to other southpaws in the past. Should Teofimo Lopez fight Terence Crawford? Absolutely not. He couldn't handle the slight technical work from Jamaine Ortiz. You mean to tell me he would do fine against a tactician bigger than him? Should Terence Crawford fight Teofimo Lopez? Absolutely. That's an easy body. Lastly, we talk about Keyshawn Davis. He took on Jose Pedraza and looked fantastic. Keyshawn Davis is fast, aggressive, and puts his combinations together well. He's also very good in the pocket with those sick uppercuts. But I do not believe that Keyshawn Davis is ready for the top of the 135 division yet. Vasyl Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson all make him look like what he is: inexperienced.
