American coach Teddy Atlas discussed the victory of the new WBO world welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez above Josh Taylor.

“Theo controlled the rhythm of the fight. The second guy had no rhythm at all. The second guy looked like a robot. Teofimo delivered more effective punches all evening, he shook Taylor several times.

Some believe that Theo made people think that he was winning with confidence because he was more flamboyant, used body language, lowered his arms and showed that he was in control of the fight. Taylor missed punches and, in my opinion, was not effective. He fought stupidly, but he tried. Some will say that's why the fight was close, and Teofimo scored points from ordinary spectators because he was bright, ”Boxing News 24 quotes the Atlas.

Recall that on the night of June 11, Lopez defeated Taylor by unanimous decision.
