Teofimo Lopez Sr., the father of the former lightweight absolute, has criticized the current top fighter in this division, Gervonta “Tank” Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) for his selection of opponents. According to the coach, on January 7, he defeated some dude, whom he had not even heard of before the fight.
31-year-old Hector Luis Garcia, who fought the favorite, but ended up getting hit in the 8th round, has every right to be offended in this place.
“They fight with fucking non-names,” said dad Lopez
boxing scene. I didn’t even know who this dude was. [Гарсия]. Every time Tank comes up against someone, I don’t know who those guys are.”
Garcia: “I feel like I would have finished Gervonta if the fight had continued”
But even on such, according to Teofimo Sr., mediocre opponents, the native of Baltimore has got a star status and allegedly just makes money: “The Tank is trying to earn as much as possible by fighting with no one. And that’s exactly what he does.”
It’s funny that everyone criticizes Gervonta for his opponents, even those who have not yet achieved anything in the pros. For example, the other day, rising lightweight star Kishon Davis (7-0, 5 KOs) stated, “When is he going to fight anyone?”
