Coach Robert Garcia prefers Arnold Barboza to defeat WBO lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez on May 2 thanks to the great race he had recently. Barboza’s latest (32-0, 11 Kos) comes from victories over Jack Catterall and José Ramirez. He looks hard to beat.
Barboza is accurate with its blows and very difficult to hit. He is similar to Jamaine Ortiz, a fighter against whom Teofimo had big problems against him in the fight on February 8 last year. Jamaine made Teo look bad in this fight.
The benefits of Arnold

This is not just a barboza jr. Being a busier fighter that gives him an advantage. He has been faced with better opposition than Lopez recently, and this is important. Since the loss to George Cambicos, the latest in 2021, Tep Rank has not fought, and some believe they have protected their investments.
It is difficult to argue against it when watching the fighters that Teofimo has encountered in the last four years. He continued to win, but his popularity has increased because he has not fought a high level of opposition.
Lopez (21-1, 13 Kos) hit Barboza JR during a press conference on Monday and hit the roof. Arnold says Teo “Crossed the line, ” And he will take it to him in the Times Square in New York.
“They don’t like each other and they went. It was a pretty hard shot. It will be more friendly for fans but it’s part of the sport, ”said Robert Garcia FIGHT HUB TV About theofimo lopez slapping arnold barboza jr at their early press conference in Los Angeles.
“I think Arnold is currently in a great race with two good wins (Jack Catterall and José Ramirez), but will soon come back. It prefers him, ”Robert continued for Barboza’s latest.” This will be his third fight in less than a year. I think activity is a great advantage for Arnold.
“Apparently you can’t count theofimo. He is a talented fighter and a wise man in the ring. He knows how to do it when he is at the best. Hopefully we will get the best of theofimo so we can see a great fight. ”
Lopez’s stamping power and aggressiveness is what he does for him because he can kill Barboza the latest or hurt him if he can catch him with one of his shots when he enters. Arnold likes to jump to throw shots, which makes him in an unprotected situation where he can be opposed. Catterall accepted him some nice shots, but he had no power to hurt him.
