Teofimo Lopez stands at a crossroads in his career. Fresh off a unanimous decision victory over Jamaine Ortiz, questions linger. Was it a clear win? The judges’ scorecards—117-111, 115-113, 115-113—tell a story. Yet, the bout was marred by boos, hinting at public dissent. Lopez, the WBO super-lightweight world champion, eyes his next challenge.
His choice? Steve Claggett, set for June 29 in Miami. Critics pause. Claggett, a pressure fighter, marks a stark contrast to Ortiz’s elusive style. But does this fight propel Lopez forward or merely serve as a pit stop?
Claggett is the next choice!
Following an intense encounter with Jamaine Ortiz, Teofimo Lopez looks to recalibrate. Mike Coopinger’s tweet unveils the next chapter: “Teofimo Lopez and Steve Claggett are finalizing a deal for a June 29 fight in Miami for Lopez’s junior welterweight title, sources told ESPN. Lopez coming off disputed win over Jamaine Ortiz in February. Lopez wasn’t happy with Ortiz’s movement and now gets a pressure fighter.“
This strategic pivot to Claggett, a pressure fighter, promises a bout where Lopez can showcase his prowess. Claggett is 38-7-2, and is about to fight Mike Ohan Jr on 11th April. After the mixed reactions to his previous match, this fight signals Lopez’s quest to silence critics and affirm his dominance. The choice sparks intrigue, setting a backdrop for a potentially explosive encounter.
