Teofimo's Triumph: "I'm the King" Echoes After Ortiz Conquest

Post-victory, WBO super lightweight king Teofimo Lopez (20-1, 13 KOs) was nothing short of regal following his unanimous decision over Jemaine Ortiz (17-2-1, 8 KOs). His proclamation rings out:

"We don't play for a moment here; we're in the hurt business. This isn't your sport if you're not down to bleed, sweat, and shed tears. We honor the Sugar Ray Robinson way—blood, sweat, and tears. If that's not the life you're after, clear the ring. I'm built for this—I bleed, sweat, and paid my dues in tears.

I gave it my all, tried to mix it up—dance backward, charge forward. But Ortiz? He wouldn't have it. So now, I'm calling all challengers. Step up.

I'm the champ, the king. In this ring, my rule is absolute," declared Lopez after sealing the deal with the judges' nod.
