Teofimo Lopez against Sandor Martin on December 10 in New York on ESPN+, Pedraza out due to illness


Via Knitting Ambrosio: Sandor Martin replaced the ailing Jose Pedraza in the main game against Teofimo Lopez on December 10 on ESPN+ at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Former two-weight world champion Pedraza had to withdraw from his match against former unified lightweight champion Teofimo (17-1, 13 KOs) due to an illness unrelated to COVID-19.

Sandor has retired Mikey Garcia in 2o21. He will do the same to Teofimo? Some boxing fans feel that Teo doesn’t have the mental strength to be a top-level boxer, as he fell a year before being overtaken by the Australian. George Kambosos Jr.

Teofimo making excuses and denials about his loss made things worse. On top of that, Teo even chose not to try to avenge the Kambosos loss, which shows his lack of confidence.

Fortunately for Top Rank, they won 5th WBC, 6th WBO, 11th WBA and 15th IBF Martin (40-2, 13 KOs). This can achieve the Top Rated in many ways.

Not only can the Top Rank get the high ranked Martin into the fight, but they also find a guy who can test if Teofimo can cut the mustard at 140.

Martin, a cunning warrior who uses his IQ to win battles, can be a pure nightmare for Teofimo, who is vulnerable to intelligent warriors. We saw what Kambosos Jr did to Teofimo, surpassing him a year ago to claim his three lightweight titles.

If Teofimo loses to Sandor, it’s time for Top Rated to start looking into cutting the fat from their advertising agency by getting rid of Teo because he’s clearly not the boxer they thought he was.

This will be a good test to show if Teofimo has the mind & ability to be one of the big players in light weight.

To be fair, if Teofimo can’t beat Sandor Martin, he’ll be mediocre at 140.

At that point, Teofimo will need to consider relegating to 135, where his massive size gives him an edge over smaller fighters.

Teofimo is credited with his success in the lightweight division due to his enormous size for that weight class. But now that he’s fighting at 140, he’ll need the ability to win teamfights as he can’t depend on being much bigger.

On Teofimo’s 140th debut last August against little-known second-place rival Pedro Campa, he looked unimpressive in that match, frequently getting hit and struggling until his death. scored the knockout goal in the seventh inning.

The way Teofimo faced Campa, Top Rated should go easy on him as he doesn’t seem ready to take on opponents at 140.

Of course, Top Rated should know by now if they’re wasting their time with Teofimo because the last thing they can afford is to invest a lot of money in promoting a boxer who can’t compete with the best. the best man.
