Teofimo Lopez has made a lot of changes in his team in recent times and recently met boxer Amir Khan in an interview.
The two engaged in some light hearted talk as well as serious talk, and some boxing talk of course.
Lopez looked up to Khan early on in his career and even in the amateurs.
Lopez has added new world class trainers and management to his team in recent times but like Khan, Lopez must bring the heat this year and entertain fans with knockouts, speed and power.
At the end of the day professional boxing is the highest level of the sport of boxing and fans want blood, and knockouts, and the reason Khan has, and still has such a great following, is of his courage and guts in his fighting ability.
He always brought the pressure and looked for the knockout.
Yes, boxing smart, hit and don’t be hit — but there is a time to put his foot on the gas more in fights too, Lopez, who can learn from Khan’s heart and willingness to always be in exciting fights for boxing fans.
