“Teofimo Lopez Entrance Was Better”: Oscar De La Hoya Wasn’t Impressed With Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Performance
Follow Us
It seems like Teofimo Lopez finally got his KO. The light welterweight champion couldn’t stop Jamaine Ortiz early in their match last week. But he appears to have managed a beatdown against Usher. If the words of Oscar De la Hoya could be believed.
The Kansas City Chiefs finally walked away with the championship once again. They defeated the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. In terms of performances, Grammy Award winner Reba McEntire had the honor of singing the ‘Star-Sprangled Banner’. However, the half-time show was headlined by none other than Usher. He came up with a few of his chart-topping hits. A bevy of artists, such as singers Alicia Keys and H.E.R., rappers Lil Jon, and Ludacris, performed alongside the R&B singer and dancer. But it seems not all were satisfied with the Texas-born musician and the rest of the team’s extravaganza.

As usual, some of the users agreed with him. Take, for instance, this comment: “You got it right, Oscar!” But then many disagreed as well. “NEVER!!!!!! Teo entrance was weak. The circus is the best he could come up with. Nahh,” said one of the followers.

It was undoubtedly ‘The Takeover’ show last Thursday. The title fight, billed ‘The Showman Returns’, was first marked by his arrival in Marvel Comics’ ‘Deadpool’ suit. But the best was reserved for the walk-ins. The viewers literally saw a circus with a stream of performers coming up with their acts. Then, from behind a red curtain, came in a black hat and red tailcoat, ‘The Takeover’. He danced all the way up to the ring.

But only if the actual fight had been equally dazzling. It would have been a performance worth remembering for years. However, in what has been termed a lackluster performance, neither Lopez nor Ortiz could meet the expectations of the fans.
