Teofimo Lopez’s claim of having “no co-signers” is largely accurate in the sense that he didn’t have the same high-profile endorsements, legendary Fighters or promotional machinery as Haney, Garcia, or Davis early on. His rise was fueled by his own talent, his father’s training, and strategic fights that showcased his flair for the dramatic. Still, his Top Rank affiliation and amateur credentials provided some foundation, suggesting his journey, while uniquely gritty, wasn’t entirely without support. The self-reliance adds to his “Takeover” persona, resonating with fans who see him as an underdog who forced his way to the top.
Lopez who is the only current Champion on the Times Square NYC Fatal Fury Ring Magazine event, is not featured as the main event as he takes on Albert Barboza Jr. The constant Snub is what keeps the chip on Teofimo’s shoulders from falling off.
