Teofimo Lopez Boxing 8-Years Old: 23-year old lightweight superstar Teofimo Lopez was once an amateur phenom and ESPN2 News has dug up exclusive footage of “Gordo” hitting the heavybag as an 8-year old. In the video Lopez is trained by his original pilot Milton LaCroix who tutored Lopez for his first 60+ bouts. Lopez, 15-0, 11 KO’s is scheduled to defend his I.B.F. title tonight against pound-4-pound king Vasyl Lomachencko, 14-1, 10 KO’s, and is a huge +300 underdog but don’t the kid out he’s been doing it his whole life.
