Hitchins TORCHES Teofimo: “You Are The Only One Ducking!”

Richardson Hitchins Drags Teofimo Lopez’s Name Through Dirt

Within the confines of the junior welterweight division, a war of words and contracts has erupted. At the center of this potential lava-hot feud are IBF champion Richardson Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO’s) and WBO champion Teofimo “The Takeover” Lopez (21-1, 13 KO’s). Both pugilists are in need of a dance partner and a unification between the two makes a whole lot of sense. Sadly, as is too often the case, the behind-the-curtain negotiations appear to have collapsed.

Naturally, each side will point fingers faster than the first person to spot Superman on the horizon. In his last volley of verbal attacks, the verbose Brooklynite ridiculed Lopez and branded him to be a coward in and out of the ring.

THEY NOT LIKE US

To bolster his claims, Hitchins cited fighters he felt that The Takeover ducked, mocked his paydays and labeled him and his father girlie men, to put it mildly.

“Yo Teofimo, I don’t know about all that bullshit, all that talk. You on the internet talking about you got 1.3, 1.5 for whatever fight. I don’t give a fuck about none of that what you talking about. Listen, you turned down an offer from Devin Haney, you turned down a 2.8 offer for Subriel Matias. Nigga you never seen 2.8 million dollars!”

“You are the only one ducking! Ain’t no offer even been sent to me. Like I said nigga, send the contract and if the numbers are right, send me the date and time, I’m there. Ain’t no excuses, and your dad is in the background talking shit.”

“I thought that old nigga learned before. I thought that old nigga learned when they beat him up in the gym and your pussy ass, Teofimo, didn’t do shit. You stood right there and watched your dad get beat up. What type of fighter is you?! How you a whole professional boxer and you let your dad get stomped on by like nine other professional boxers?”

HIGH NOON OR TOO SOON?

Let Hitchins tell it, the only reason that he did not take the fight is because the money was sour. Yet, as 3Kings Boxing has illustrated, this is a familiar song for Lopez opponents to sing. Similarly, the Brooklyn boxer also is referencing a now infamous story of when The Takeover’s father was beat down behind his supposedly disrespectful ways.

Given his lackluster performances of late, his recent racial tirades and need of a top tier opponent, Hitchins checks all the boxes. And, as an added bonus, beyond the fight being a unification, Lopez will potentially catch Hitchins while he is still green on the elite professional level.

So let’s see if anything of substance comes from this acidic back-and-forth.
