What they said about this Las Vegas fight on Thursday Night
“I was the one holding my son back, and that bothered me,” Teo Sr. said. “I took his genius away. I made him a regular boxer. After the Kambosos loss, with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the problems with the wife, he was sick before the Kambosos fight. He should have never fought that night.
“Then, I took away all his ability. I took away his great ability to read an opponent. If you’re in the ring against my son, he can dissect you and read you in seconds. I took that away from him.”

Teo Sr. stressed the jab. He pushed “Gordo,” which means “fat” in Spanish because Lopez Jr. was a pudgy baby, out of him, wanting Lopez Jr. to jab every two seconds. It was a draining element to Lopez Jr.’s game.
“It’s what I was doing wrong,” Lopez Sr. admitted. “When you’re constantly on an opponent like that, it takes away the chance to see what your opponent is doing. When Gordo starts slipping and moving, and rolling backwards, then coming back with the straight right that you don’t see, and that jumping left hook, he’s unbeatable.”
That is the version that showed up June 10, 2023, before a sellout crowd at The Theater in Madison Square Garden. Lopez Jr. took apart rugged Scot Josh Taylor with a unanimous-decision victory. The boxing world got a chance to see a version of Lopez Jr., who the Lopez family refers to as “slick boxer Gordo,” for the first time in years.
“I had to see things better. After the Kambosos fight, I had to erase everything,” Lopez Sr. said. “It was killing me, because I was the one who kept telling him to throw the jab every two seconds, every three seconds and it was killing him. I was killing him. It’s like taking a gut punch, knowing what I was doing.
“I took away his ability to dissect and read, and then counter your moves. My son is a genius. I see it. Everyone around him knows it. He can see things and break things down that others fighters can’t do. I forgot about that. I watched how he was 17, 18, just destroying Shawn Porter and Yordenis Ugas with short moves, and blinding them.
“I wanted him to be more aggressive. We slowed a lot of things down. Once I saw the video, I told him what I was doing wrong. When he fights like that, he is too fast, is too adaptable and way faster than everyone. Slick boxer Gordo is unbeatable.”
