Javier Martinez had just one professional fight in 2007, which he lost to Canelo Alvarez via KO and never entered the ring again. Meanwhile, Hector Lopez saw a similar fate against Gervonta Davis in 2014. After losing his debut to ‘Tank’ Lopez never appear in a pro-boxing bout again. So, they clearly doesn’t make it to the big boy’s club any. way.
‘The Problem Child’ has been feuding with several boxers and MMA fighters on the Internet, with Gervonta Davis, and Canelo Alvarez being two of the many. The 24-year-old doesn’t leave a single chance to demean world champion boxers and his latest tweet was yet another sample of that.
Meanwhile, it can also create confusion regarding the potential Paul vs Fury bout, but the current situation validates it to happen at any cost. Notably, given the financial success of the deal, both sides can agree soon.
