Rosado named the favorite for the Lopez-Barboza fight

Dmitriy Kel April 21, 2025, 4 a.m.

American boxer Gabriel Rosado shared his opinion on the upcoming WBO bantamweight champion Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboza fight.

"I think Barboza has a slight advantage because he's got rhythm, he's active and he fights a lot. It's been a long time since Teofimo has been in the ring and I think he's a rhythm fighter. So a long pause could probably hurt him.

Theo is a special fighter with special skills. He's hard to beat, but now it's time for him to be beaten because he's inactive. That's why I think Barboza has been busy, his confidence has skyrocketed. So now it's time. Barboza got Lopez at the right time," Rosado said.

As a reminder, the Lopez vs. Barboza fight will take place on May 2 in New York.
