They spoke about the fight, which will take place early in the morning on December 11, European time in New York (USA) and will be a qualifying match for the WBC super lightweight (up to 63.5 kg), both participants are ex-absolute lightweight Teofimo Lopez (17- 1, 13 KOs) and Sandor Martin (40-2, 13 KOs).
At the same time, it is difficult to get rid of the feeling that the press release with the statements of the boxers was invented on the knee by the Top Rank press officer.
“We wish Pedraza a speedy recovery but look forward to meeting Martin. In general, it was he who was the opponent that we originally wanted,” Teofimo said.
He assured that “I will continue to silence the doubters when I lead the division to 63.5 kg.”
“Looking forward to giving the fans in my hometown a very special evening of boxing,” the favorite finished somehow painfully calm, commercially sugary, and therefore not interesting.

Sandor was a match for him.
“It was my dream to fight in the main event at the Madison Arena. Well, my time has come. I took a chance and on December 10 I will take control in the fight with Lopez and give the fans what they want to see, ”he said.
Lopez’s coach is confident that he will take another “absolute” before the end of 2024. And one ex-champion has a premonition that Teofimo will not succeed in the new weight.
