Teofimo Lopez was born and bred in NYC ... but the boxing star bolted from the Big Apple before coronavirus decimated the city. So, how'd he know it was a good idea to get the hell outta Dodge?
Well, disaster movies ... where else??
"You ever seen those movies like '2012'? Obviously the major cities are always gonna get hit first."
He's right ... in films like "Deep Impact," "Armageddon," "Independence Day," "The Day After Tomorrow" ... New York City seems to always get obliterated.
So, with that movie knowledge in hand, the 22-year-old undefeated IBF lightweight champ booked it outta NYC.
