A post shared by Teofimo Lopez (@teofimolopez)

His post just a day after the release of the trailer of the movie shows his support for the franchise. In the meantime, fellow Top Rank prospect, Keyshawn Davis, who fought on his undercard on February 8, has decided to school Teofimo for disrespecting him.

Keyshawn Davis feels slighted by Lopez…

Teofimo Lopez finds himself entangled in a fresh challenge. Keyshawn Davis, unimpressed with Lopez’s comments about him, has thrown down the gauntlet for a showdown. The rivalry traces back to an incident preceding Lopez’s bout with Jamaine Ortiz, where Davis felt slighted. Initially, Davis held no grievances against Lopez, even harboring admiration. However, things took a turn when Lopez revealed Davis’s desire for a picture and a subsequent desire to fight him.

According to Lopez, Davis switched allegiances, prompting Lopez to advise him, in front of cameras, to secure a lineal belt first. In response, the undefeated Davis swiftly countered, stating, “I gave bro respect…then he goes & mentions me in an interview for NO REASON.”

Davis, fresh off a victory against Jose Pedraza, is resolute about facing Lopez, asserting, “Bro, you brought this upon yourself, now you gotta SEE ME!” Meanwhile, Lopez’s aspirations for a legacy-defining bout against Terence Crawford and his criticism of Shakur Stevenson add layers to the unfolding drama.

Over the years, my fervor for boxing remained intact, although life's commitments sometimes deviated me from being a hardcore fan of the sport.
