Pedraza and Linares I agree. Linares way past his prime. Mikey turned him down years ago. Pedraza will lose easily. but Campbell, i think he's got skills. Would really love to see him versus Lopez. too bad Lopez is moving up.
and i'm chill, never said anything towards you) just can't wait for april as well. :boxing:
No hard feelings, good to see boxing fans who care about big fights. I really thought Lopez-Campbell was next but if Lopez wants Lomochenko should be easy to make by Uncle Bobby.
Lopez has one 135 fight in him and if he loses a decision and looks sluggish all he has to say is that he struggled with the weight. If Lomo loses he can say that he wants to go down to 130 win-win for both fighters
Haney should fight Campbell next but in his last fight and the injury I doubt we get that.
Relax man it’s just a boxing fight, Lomochenko is a great fighter but I’m going to go with youth,power and most important heart in this fight.
So Campbell will school Lopez because of his Olympic pedigree? Campbell is a decent fighter But he’s never been in with a fighter like Lopez either that’s as explosive and powerful. Pedraza and Linares aren’t anything special either, just don’t see any these of these beating Lopez

no he won't. Campbell schools him. kid couldnt last 1 single round in his first fight in Olympics, but after 3 years he advanced to p4p top lvl. bull****. and please, this last fight shows nothing but a lucky punch. if only Commey would of actually preppare for the fight and fight like a man. instead i've seen dude that kept ****ing crying for his country and people of Ghana. he wasnt there at all. he got what he deserved.
yeah, can't wait for April to see him again b*tch*ng and making up family issues. "I might quit this sport"
oh god...bring it on

We talking about the same Linares who’s been KO’ed by journeymen? The same guy who won a vacant belt against the dangerous Corolla? He beat Campbell as well. Lopez lands on Linares and Linares is gone man hahaha. Campbell as well gives Lopez issues but once Lopez lands it’s a wrap for Campbell who was stopped by the smaller Lomochenko.
I guess Campbell giving issues to Lomochenko elevated him to be elite now??? Lopez beats them all can’t wait for Lomo-Lopez in April

Bull****. He would not have koed campbell. You're delustional if you think lopez kos campbell. He went 12 rds with a japanese bum and the length troubled him. Post fight Lopez says we ain't fighting anymore 6 feet tall guys. And the linares that lomo fought would have been a 50/50 fight.

If Lopez would of fought Linares,Campbell and Crolla he would of KO’ed of those quicker than Lomochenko did. Maybe Campbell’s height gives Lopez fits but no way can those guys eat those counters Lopez lands.
Lopez is not a one trick pony, he lands those bombs which are precisely placed and not just wild punches. Lomochenko can’t take one of those punches or else he hits the deck. They showing Lopez no respect

Win or lose against Lomachenko he will come out of that fight all the better for it. Either he becomes a star or he learns and improves his game at a young age.
Lopez struggled in the fight prior to Commey. More than the scorecards indicated.
Just like Haney didn't exactly shine in his last fight.
For some fighters, that is the beginning of the end - they have shown their peak. For other fighters, it is just a learning experience, and they come back sharper and better for it.
Haney and Lopez being young and talented, it is reasonable to assume that they can make the most out of difficult fights, and learn a lot from them.
Hell, Loma lost his second fight, and look at how much he learnt from that lesson.
Lopez came back strongly from his previous struggle, and it can be assumed he would come back strongly after a loss to Loma.
Ive seen Loma lose. Still I like him more now that I’ve seen him rise over sum adversity. I agree he is smug, but no more arrogant than Lopez. I remember people calling Lopez all hype a few fights ago. I’m just stoked that they they’ve been contentious and that the fight is happening. I haven’t studied Lopez enough. I know he can crack, but it’s a different story when u fight the cream of the crop. Even if Lopez puts Loma down it will be a matter of keeping him down or still risk losing as far as I see it. Whatever happens I hope it promotes more fights like this. I didn’t see this coming.
Was the fight announced? Or just from what was said that night?
Lopez has bigger balls than Tank because he is actually willing to fight Lomachenko. Wouldn't you agree?
I don't think it's about their balls, it's more about their promoters' egos and interests. Promoters see money first. Arum can make a lot of money inhouse with Loma-Lopez. Dealing with Floyd and Haymon is a whole another thing.
I don't believe for one second Davis is actually scared of Lomachenko. Never even considered that.
To each their own.
this fight would def be some fresh air
it was probably hard to imagine andre ward making kovalev basically quit too....but it happened....it was probably hard to imagine canelo, after the first fight, standing toe to toe with golovkin and beating him....but it happened
i like loma...i really do...i respect him...hes supremely talented...but all of these guys have their day...face their day...he was acting a little smug that night in front of the cameras for lopez/commey....
lopez cant def land that big one on loma....as long as he doesnt get frustrated...im not sure lopez has the right head/mentality to not get frustrated.....think back to what fury was doing to wilder....by the 12th most guys would have packed it in...been too frustrated but wilder never lost focus and stayed his course...if lopez can do that without getting battered he can def land on loma and lopez has dynamite in that hand....
I'm pretty sure if Ward punched you 20 times in the nuts you wouldn't want to fight anymore as well.
I'm just saying that Teofimo has more balls.
Win or lose against Lomachenko he will come out of that fight all the better for it. Either he becomes a star or he learns and improves his game at a young age.
Just like Canelo after he fought Floyd.
What exactly is Tank going to learn from crushing Gamboa?
Rushing fighters has hurt plenty careers, and no Loma isn’t the type with big power but it’s always risky throwing someone so young with such a more seasoned fighter...
Canelo is the exception not the rule, he’s been pro since he was 15....if you look at the rest of the p4p top 10 they weren’t fighting the elite when they first turned 25 either
Surprised its so close giving he has nothing but a punchers chance. Amazing how one punch can make everyone forget how awful he looked vs some cumbersome Japanese zombie that's defense was his face.
I don't see what is supposed to be so impressive about this kid just looks a ten a penny novice with sub-par reflexes that has watched one to many RJJ highlight reels to me.
People mention his amateur pedigree he doesn't look seasoned to me, 40 amateur fights? 50?
This fight will serve nothing as a humbling not just to Lopez but to those hyping him up.
Rather see Haney personally at least he has some good fundamentals, speed & length on him.
Yeah but if you want to pick out individual fights or moments, then you could say if Lopez lands the shot Linares did, it could be lights out.
At the end of the day, Lopez has just stopped a legit world champ in a 50-50 fight and has looked impressive in pretty much every fight with one or two exceptions.
I do think Loma exposes his lack of experience but it’s still one of the very best fights that can be made in the division
If Lopez would of fought Linares,Campbell and Crolla he would of KO’ed of those quicker than Lomochenko did. Maybe Campbell’s height gives Lopez fits but no way can those guys eat those counters Lopez lands.

The closer we get to the fight the less of a chance I give to Lopez and here is why.
He talked mad ***** to get the fight, he got the fight. I thought he would have become more sensible now that the fight is on but nah, he's still talking mad ***** which tells me his head is not right.
Now look at Loma's last interview, the man's head is set on straight, he's pure logic and reason.
"Could Lopez land that big shot on you?" Loma "Sure he could, I've been hit before"
"Who do you think Top Rank would like to win?" Loma "Honestly? I don't know, but they would make more money with Lopez defeating me" alluding to the fact that a Latino champ in America is where the money is.
Everyone has a chance in boxing, but Lopez has slim to none here. He will get TKOd.
Loma fought enough punchers, everyone putting Walters under the rug like it never happened when he was getting hyped up to be the Samuel Peter of the little guys. Loma has been fighting naturally bigger men in his last fights and came out on top.
All Loma is giving away is 1" in height and 2" in reach, so that's practically nothing.
The single thing that Lopez has over Loma is power, but with the exception of Wilder, all of you, EVERY SINGLE TIME forget that this is boxing first and foremost, and the better boxer wins 90% of the time.
There bringing Tank around fine, he just turned 25 last month who were Crawford and Spence fighting when they first turned 25? Hell Loma wasn’t even a pro, he’s coming along.
The difference is Teofimo’s father is pushing for him to fight immediately, maybe it will turn out well maybe he’s rushing Lopez we’ll find out but don’t act like Tanks career is abnormal
I'm just saying that Teofimo has more balls.
