\u201cYou realize what he told me at the tip of the fight?\u201d Teofimo Sr. said to Punsh Dunk Boxing<\/a> channel. \u201cHe said, \u2018Dad, I felt him like a bit of kid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Teofimo Sr. then hinted that something outside the ring can have affected his son mentally before the fight.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Man, I do know, bro. I do know what happened. I don\u2019t know what happened to you, but I don\u2019t know if any individual threatened your ass or what happened in that fight,\u2019\u201d Teofimo Sr. said. \u201cHe don\u2019t need to tell me, but that was not my son in that fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Teofimo Sr. insisted the strategy entering the fight was for Lopez to remain disciplined and box Stevenson from the skin relatively than trade punches at close range.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe entire plan was to outbox this kid, stay on the skin and outbox him,\u201d Teofimo Sr. said. \u201cThen from the start, he just was getting into and getting punished.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The longtime trainer compared the performance to Teofimo\u2019s sharper outing against Arnold Barboza Jr. and argued that the difference between the 2 fights was obvious.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was not my son in that fight,\u201d Teofimo Sr. repeated. \u201cEverybody knows my son is a slick fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teofimo himself also appeared frustrated while discussing the criticism surrounding the loss and defended his willingness to take dangerous fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to come back back already,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cCanelo only dodged David. But I am going and fight David, they\u2019re like, \u2018Well, he got beat up.\u2019 What you’re thinking that would have happened to Canelo?\u201d<\/p>\n

Teofimo also claimed he would still favor himself against most of the top names across the divisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could beat each person who Canelo beat. I could beat each person who Triple G beat. I could beat each person who Caleb Plant beat,\u201d Lopez said.<\/p>\n

The comments quickly generated reactions from fans online, particularly Teofimo Sr.\u2019s suggestion that something can have affected his son mentally heading into the Stevenson fight.<\/p>\n
