Taylor: "I was preparing for the best Teofimo Lopez, who defeated Lomachenko"
WBO junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor (19-0, 13 KOs) assured that he was seriously preparing for the fight against Teofimo Lopez (18-1, 13 KOs).
“You know, people have bad fights. You may have bad evenings. I had a bad night in my last fight so it can happen to anyone. It happens to the best of us.
I prepared for the best Teofimo Lopez, who defeated Lomachenko, and for his glory in previous fights. I was preparing for that version of Teofimo Lopez, not the one that came out against Sandor Martin and George Cambosos.
Lopez has improved a little, but he still makes a number of fundamental mistakes for which I plan to punish him, ”Boxing Scene quotes Taylor.
