The boxing world is reacting to one of the biggest events in recent human history this weekend.
When an assassination attempt takes place on a former President and likely soon a new President of the United States, the world stops.
Just like it did when JFK was shot. Boxing like anything else pauses during world events like this.
One pound for pound star in boxing Teofimo Lopez was stunned. Speaking to Fight Hype and others tonight Lopez said:
“I heard I would say about thirty minutes ago about this, I was in shock about it. What can I say? I mean its hard with politics man. I’d rather keep myself neutral. But I wish him nothing but the best. Him and his family.”
An incredible event no less.
It will be interesting to see in the days ahead what was behind the attempted shooting of Trump.

As for Lopez, he’s coming off a points win recently.
Not against a well known boxer but a guy who gave him a tough assignment.
Hopefully he is put in with a bigger name next up which likely will raise his performance a notch.
Many fighters fight to the level of opposition in front of them.
Lopez has showed himself to be a boxer and man who can rise to the big occasions previously.
There’s no reason to say why he can’t again.
None at all.
