Crawford responded to Lopez, saying, “When I see your arse, you don’t look in my direction.”
Former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford has responded to Teofimo Lopez’s challenge on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). Crawford characterized Lopez as “petty” and advised him to focus on his own opponents.
In his statement, Crawford suggested that Lopez should pay attention to fighters in his own weight class, emphasizing that every time he’s seen Lopez, he doesn’t acknowledge Crawford. Crawford stated, “Every time I see your backside, you don’t even glance my way, but when you’re in front of the camera, you have something to say.”
Crawford went on to recommend that Lopez prepare for his upcoming opponent, Jamaine Ortiz, asserting that Ortiz knows how to fight. Crawford advised Lopez to concentrate on that bout rather than contemplating a match against him.
Teofimo Lopez had previously challenged Crawford to a fight in the welterweight division, claiming he is here to compete with the best and suggesting that the fighters Crawford faced were “handicapped.”
It’s worth noting that Lopez is scheduled to face Jamaine Ortiz on February 8, while Crawford, in July, secured an early victory over Spence, becoming the undisputed world champion in the welterweight division. However, he later lost the IBF title due to his inability to fulfill the mandatory defense against Jaron Ennis.
