[ad_1]

Lightweight world absolute champion Teofimo Lopes (16-0, 12 KOs) explained why he was not impressed by Vasily Lomachenko (14-2, 10 KOs).

– How did you maintain so much confidence before the fight?

– What can distinguish me from the rest is that when I speak of faith in myself, then it is so. It is already moving in my head that I have defeated an opponent. I just need to show it when the opportunity arises. I have always had this confidence.

– Did you expect that in the first half of the fight Lomachenko was barely right?

– Lomachenko disappointed me. Everyone was praising this guy so much that I wanted to see him myself. But when I entered the ring, everything turned out to be completely different. I don’t take anything from him, but he played our game. We put it in our game. Whatever they were planning there, we deprived him of the battle plan, Lopez said.

Recall that in the fight for the absolute lightweight championship, López defeated Lomachenko by unanimous decision: 116-112, 117-111, 119-109.
