Teofimo Lopez’s career climb: “Keep going up school” and make haters “madder”

Teofimo Lopez posted a cryptic message, saying he was going to “Keep going up school,” Talk about his career in boxing. Mentioned that his removal up the school “Make ’em madder.” He refers to those who wish to see him fail and jealous of his success. Teo wants to test people wrong.

Lopez (22-1, 13 Kos) and Shakur Stevenson have spoken on social media in the past week about possibly fighting. A game between them would be huge on PPV. With teofimo ability to sell fights with his trash talk, he could do well on Dazn. That’s what Teo would “go up school” if the fighting happens.

Make madder haters

Shakur’s fighting involving Lopez would not capture another world title, because he is not about to return to section 135 lbs at this point in his career. He moved up to the 140 lbs class in 2022 because of his battles to make the light limit. Teofimo would defend its WBO lightweight welter weight title against Stevenson if the fighting takes place.

Keep up school, they are crazy, doing ’em madder ⛳️

Teofimo’s cryptic message

The part where Lopez says could be considered, “They are crazy, doing ’em madder,” so that he takes an oral shot in Turki Alalshikh. Teofimo had said on social media late May last that he had been “Firing” by Turki, which means he would not be included in his events. So, it still climbs the ranks, doing well without it, and believes it creates anger.

As such, Teofimo’s cryptic post is his way to get a subtle excavation for those hoping for his failure. He wants them to know that he is going to keep doing well, achieving more things, making money, and angling. This could include Turki Alalshikh if Teo is correct about being fired by it. Teofimo had called Turki a “D *** Tator” on social media before deleting the post.
