Teofimo Lopez’s Career Climb: “Keep Going Up The Ladder” And Making Haters “Madder”

Teofimo Lopez Posted in Cryptic Message, Saying He’s Going To Go “Keep Going Up The Ladder,” Talking About His Career in Boxing. He Mentioned That His Move Up The Ladder Was “Make ’em Madder.” He’s referring to Those Who Wish To See Him Fail And Are The Jealous of His Success. Teo Wants to prove People Wrong.

Lopez (22-1, 13 Kos) and Shakur Stevenson Have Talked On Social Media in The Last Week About Fighting Potentially Fighting. A Match Between Them Would Be Massive on PPV. With Teofimo’s Ability to Sell Fights With His Trash-Talking, It Could Well Dazn. That would be teo “Going Up The Ladder” If the Fight Happens.

Making Haters Madder

Fighting Shakur Wouldn’t Involve Lopez Capturing Another World Title, Because He’s Not About to Return to 135-LB Division This Point in His Career. He moved up to the 140-LB Class in 2022 Due to His Struggles to Make The Lightweight Limit. Teofimo Would Be Defending His WBO Light Welterweight Title Against Stevenson If the Fight Happens.

Keep Going Up The Ladder, They Mad, Make ’em Madder ⛳️

Teofimo’s Cryptic Message

The Part Where Lopez Says, “They Mad, Make ’em Madder,” Could Be Viewed As Him Taking A Verbal Shot at Turkey Ala!zkh. Teofimo Had Said On Social Media Late Last May That Had Been “Fired” By Turki, Meaning That Wouldn’t Be Included in His Events. So, He’s Still Climbing The Ranks, Doing Well Windout Him, And He Believes It’s Creating Anger.

As Such, Teofimo’s Cryptic Post Is His Way To Get a Subtle Dig in Those Who Hope for His Failure. Hey Wants To Know He’s Going To Keep Doing Well, Achieving Greater Things, Making Money, And Angering Them. This Could include Turki AleShikh If Teo Is Correct About Being Fired by Him. Teofimo Had Called Turk “D *** Tator” On Social Media Before Deleting The Post.
