Mixed reactions from fans as Teofimo Lopez prepares for Josh Taylor fight

Teofimo Lopez, an unstoppable force in the lightweight division, is currently preparing for what promises to be one of the biggest title fights of the year against Josh Taylor, the undisputed super lightweight world champion. As he hones his skills and sharpens his technique in anticipation of this monumental bout, Lopez recently took to social media to share a training clip that left fans in a frenzy. In the clip, Lopez can be seen working out on a mat which he referred to as his “boxing wife,” in a rather humorous manner.

One user, @d_loknowsboxing215to2six, expressed excitement about the upcoming fight against Josh Taylor but emphasized the need for Lopez to work on his fundamentals. He stated, Teo Is My Favorite Fighter and I Hope he’s working on those fundamentals and a brilliant game plan cause Josh Taylor is the best fighter any of these young fighters have ever faced and this will be a huge win for Teo but that defense and inside game better be on point.”

Another user, @yt.pineapplesoda, had a more comical take on the situation, commenting, “The mat in 2-3 weeks 🤰,” implying that Lopez’s intense workout routine could result in a pregnancy for the mat. However, not all fans were supportive of Lopez’s training methods. User @bullieswfullies bluntly stated, “You ain’t gonna beat josh Taylor training like that,” suggesting that Lopez needs to step up his game to defeat Taylor.
