Teofimo Lopez Sr. smiled at the end of the 12th round.

Moments earlier, his son, Teofimo Lopez, had just ended a grueling back-and-forth fight with George Kambosos Jr. at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater. Although it looks like their contest is over, Lopez Sr. still believe that his son has dominated the action.

However, just a few minutes later, Lopez Sr suffered the first loss of his playing career. In addition to dropping to zero in her losing count column, Lopez also saw her unified lightweight title reign come to an end.

Even now, after having had several hours to analyze the reality of the situation, Lopez Sr. still doesn’t believe that his son’s loss is justified.

“Listen, you can’t win a war if you’re not busy,” said Lopez Sr. said in an interview with SecondsOut. “My son touches it every second. Everyone knows he won that war. Everyone knows that. I had it 10-2, 9-3. People just feel uncomfortable. They booed the decision at Madison Square Garden. The whole arena was saddened by what had happened. It was a total robbery.”

Although the scorecard of Lopez Sr. leaning heavily on his son, but most of the judges watching their part saw things completely differently. In the mind of judge Don Trella, he believes Lopez has done enough to prolong his title reign by scoring a 114-113 goal. In the end, however, he was defeated by Glenn Feldman, who scored a 115-112 goal in favor of Kambosos Jr., and Frank Lombardi, who handed a 115-111 scorecard to the player’s favor. Australian origin.

Early on, Kambosos Jr flexed his muscles and roared in the face of the opposing crowd as he registered a knockdown in the first round. Even if Lopez struggled early on, the New York-born player returned on 10th night, things back in the knockdown division.

Despite Lopez’s solid momentum in the corner, Kambosos Jr struggled with a strong performance in the 11th and 12th innings.

As reality continued to unfold, Lopez Sr. is still punishing the overall ruling of the judges. More than anything, however, Lopez Sr. revisits a conversation he had with his son years ago and re-emphasizes the importance of ending the show before the judges are called in.

“In this game, you have to knock everyone out. If you don’t knock them down, here’s what will happen. We were actively engaged in combat from the very beginning. There’s no way this kid can beat us.”
