Hat Knock Leads To Slap: Teofimo Lopez And Arnold Barboza Jr. Engage In Violent Pre-Fight Scuffle

Tudaimo Lopez said he had no choice but the slap of Arnold Barbosa Junior during the press conference yesterday after he got out of the cowboy hat from his head while facing Los Angeles. WBO Lightweight Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOS) Barboza Jr (32-0, 11 KOS) strongly with the left hand, causing a short fight under the stage.

Barboza JR. From rushing in Teofimo to throw strikes. It looked angry. However, his own mistake was to cause this incident by knocking on the Lopez hat from his head. It is not clear what Arnold said to angered him enough to stop his hat, but frustration may be from waiting for three years for this opportunity to fight him.

“All rights”

“Under the law. You do not touch no one.” Tudaimo Lopez said to the media: “I touched my hat and got all the rights,” explaining why Arnold Barbosa Junior slapped him during his face yesterday in Los Angeles.

During the press conference, the two fighters entered into a change in the garbage back and forth, using insults and mainly assumed everything. Brooklyn, a citizen of New York, Tudaimo is his element, and he slides to call his stadium’s name and appears to be really enjoying himself. For him, it was like a flashback for his youth days in Brooklyn, and they are called names.

What will be interesting is how other press conferences and confrontation take place between Teo and Barboza JR. Will they be able to do this without attacking each other? I am just amazed that Arnold did not reach Tudaimo yesterday because he was trying to tear from holding the race to Lopez to throw punches. TEO looked far away, he would have woke up for a fight.

Even without a slap, the press conference was successful, as all fighters play a role in creating attention to the FATAL FRY event on May 2.
