Teo has had some recent fight where he looked bad when he faced unknown fighters. He was written off for a while but did have a brilliant fight against Josh Taylor. He needs another performance like that if he wants to build more hype for his career. Matias and Haney could be big fights for him, but he will have to prove that he is worth the high purses he is demanding by winning spectacularly. This is an opponent he is meant to look good against. Hopefully he won’t stink up the place like he did against Jamaine Ortiz.
That's right, when the stakes are high Teo Lopez perform above the usual, like in his fight against Loma and then his performance against Josh Taylor. A former unified champion that he dominated and thanks his belt and become the lineal champion.
But if his opponents is just another regular, hopefully we can get away from that energy of also showing us a mediocre performance like what you have mentioned, against Ortiz. However, I'm seeing him at 140 lbs weight class that he can dominate if he really put his heart here.
