Teofimo Lopez, who appears to be a fan of Manny Pacquiao, is clearly excited to see him return against Errol Spence Jr. in August. While boxers of his age choose to retire or compete in exhibitions, ‘Pac-Man’ is still looking for the best challenges. Hence, he has opted to fight the unbeaten welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. in a title clash.

This move has earned him appraisals from the boxing world. In a chat with ES NEWS, ‘Take Over’ gave his opinion on the scheduled bout. He also vowed to be present in the arena when the fight happens.
“He [Manny Pacquiao] is an icon, literally. And taking a chance like that against Errol Spence, who is an unified world champion at the moment at 147. Hey man, he and Vegas, I know everyone is going to be there. I am going to be there. Manny Pacquiao, you are not human. But that’s all god’s blessings,” said Teofimo Lopez.
Ending over a two-year-long lay-off from the ring, Pacquiao will dream of becoming a world champion again. However, his nearing opponent may not be easy to deal with. The undefeated champion, Spence Jr., has been on a tear in the 147 lbs weight class. So, Pacquiao might be in serious trouble when he steps through the ropes.
