Teofimo did not disapoint
Teofimo did not disapoint
Only Teofimo (22-1, 13 KO) lived up to the high expectations and hopes of the three "main event" A-sides. He easily defeated Arnold Barboza Jr., regaining the WBO belt and indicating a move up to 147 to take on top dog Jaron "Boots" Ennis.
In addition to being good, Lopez defeated a cunning, intelligent fighter, the kind of opponents who have previously caused him problems (Sandor Martin, Jamaine Ortiz). In reality, Teofimo has always appeared to suffer primarily with his own frustrations; he becomes agitated and can become stuck in gear when fights don't go as planned. But when he's focused, as he was on Saturday, you can see his abilities and versatility.
