Terence Crawford has reacted to Teofimo Lopez calling him out following a controversial win over Jamaine Ortiz.
Lopez defended his WBO junior welterweight title against Ortiz last night. While he came into the fight as a massive favorite, the bout turned out to be very close, and many believe that the latter deserved the judges’ nod.
Lopez appeared to be soundly outboxed against the accurate and in-shape Ortiz over 12 rounds. However, the three ringside judges appeared to penalize the latter for his lack of offensive output while routinely circling away. As a result, ‘The Takeover’ secured a controversial unanimous decision victory.
After the fight, Lopez doubled down on his desire to fight Terence Crawford. Despite the weight difference, he claimed that he was ready to fight Crawford at catchweight.
Reacting to Lopez’s call-out, Crawford took to X and clapped back at him in a series of tweets. Take a look at them below:
