Following Teofimo Lopez’s unanimous decision loss to Shakur Stevenson, we caught up EXCLUSIVELY with Teofimo Lopez's father for his immediate reaction. In this raw and emotional interview, Teofimo Sr opens up about what he believes went wrong on fight night, saying “that was not my son in there” and admitting he was “in shock” watching the performance unfold. Lopez Sr discusses the game plan that was prepared in camp but never materialised in the ring, the pressure surrounding the fight, and the impact of media narratives and online criticism leading up to the bout. He also gives credit to Shakur Stevenson for the victory, while firmly defending his son’s heart, durability, and future in the sport. Despite the setback, Teofimo Sr makes it clear this is far from the end - highlighting Teofimo’s age, championship experience, and hinting strongly at a move up to 147 pounds, insisting “he’s still not in his prime” and that the comeback will be stronger than ever.
