“When I fought [Vasiliy Lomachenko in 2020], I took his heart, especially in that 12th round … boom, I won the fight,” Lopez said. “With Taylor, he don’t got no heart. So what can I really take from this man? His life. His life. The only way I’mma make a statement is by doing that. I’m not sorry about that.”

“I know people are going to twist my words again on this one,” Lopez continued. “But you know something? I don’t give a flying f—. I don’t care because this is the sport that we are in. and it sucks to see so many pass away, especially some young ones.”

We spoke to Taylor and he fired back at Lopez over his bizarre comments.

“He can come try and take my life, let’s see who is the one who ends up in the back of an ambulance, that may be a horrible comment back but let him come and try, let’s see what happens, good on him’

Rams 2025 NFL Draft Prospects: Who Will the Rams Draft in Round 1? Jaxson Dart? Colston Loveland? Jihaad Campbell? Nick Emmanwori?

The Rams are a mystery when it comes to the NFL Draft. They may decide they want to trade up to take one of the better Tight Ends (Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland) in this upcoming draft, or they may sit comfortably and draft an Offensive Lineman, (Armand Membou, Kelvin Banks Jr.) or add a piece to their defensive front (James Pearce Jr., Jihaad Campbell, Nick Emmanwori). Nobody knows, but the odds suggest there's 4-5 positions that we should be really focused on. The reality is, the Rams are in a good position and have had a really strong offseason thus far. And they have a couple incredible drafts to look back on and copy methodologies to try and bring in another great class.
