Liam Paro Sees Teofimo Lopez as Beatable

“I was always confident I could beat Teofimo, but [Saturday] put the cherry on top,” Paro told Main Event in a quote posted by The Ring.

Last Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the new WBA champion won a majority decision over Romero, using his jab, movement and higher output to control long portions of the fight. Rolly spent too much time waiting for counterpunching opportunities and allowed Teofimo to set the pace without facing sustained pressure

Paro has questioned how much of Teofimo’s lightweight power has followed him into the heavier divisions.
