The kid just doesn’t do enough, and he’s too simple for the style he likes to use.
Think’s he’s some great counter-puncher but has issues getting counter’s off. Mainly because he only know’s how to use his feet for big leaps like he’s trying to imitate Roy Jones(except Teofimo has next to no feints). You’ll never see Lopez stutter step back to maintain the ideal distance to just make his opponent fall short and for him to get a counter off ala Rigondeaux or Mayweather. And he’s not as flexible as James Toney to stand and counter as effectively, nor is his counterpunching offense diverse enough. Nearly always it’s a counter right hand, counter right uppercut, counter right hand left hook, that’s about it.
On the lead 70% of his offense is double jab, Sht right hand to setup leaping left hook. Leaping left hook. Rinse, repeat. For the other 30% when he;s actually trying to be active he might actually work something off those jabs, but most of the times he’s just killing energy leaping around aimlessly. It lasts for about a round, then he’s gassed, orbiting along the ropes, trying to clinch and will eventually get too tired to even properly defend. Lomachenko is going to kill this kid.
Another thing that bothers me is, he doesn’t even have a counter left hook. What kind of self-respecting counter-puncher doesn’t have a counter left hook? Even Broner has that. He would have had a much easier time with Nakatani if he would throw that punch. But the guy is only ever thinking about rolling his shoulder, thus every counter starting with a right hand. Somehow hasn’t figured out you can roll your shoulder whilst throwing a left hook.
Essentially, he;s just Broner all over again. Broner was hyped too (FOTD), had a ton of speed and power (actually think Broner hit harder). All the talent in the world. But peanuts for brains.
Actually, I think Broner was better. Lopez has to evolve or he has no future at this level. Outside of hailmary shots most elite’s will whoop his ass.
I think his size has a lot to do with his success and we're going to find out just how good he is at 140. If he gets embarrassed by Ramirez and Taylor, he'll go down as a Broner type fighter.
lopez should fight the best out there to see if he is broner-like fighter. he is still inexperience, he need more big names to prove his worth.. probably one of the greatest boxer if he defeated tank, haney etc.. i think he should start calling out the best and stop fighting bums.. he has a bright future if goes the right path..
He is young and having won the undisputed title might turn him into a better fighter..
But im not blown away by him. I agree with some of the opening post.
He is a poser and a good imitator. He wants to face Ramirez and id love to see that cuz Ramirez would rip a new azzhole in him.
You really are dumb af, you're in complete denial :lol1:
Hurtful bud. Tell your mum to wash her ass and avoid meals for awhile. I’ll be over in a few days.
Loma threw a right hand, Teo went to his right shoulder, then his left shoulder, pushed off and threw a left hook. That’s not a counter left hook bro. Too many moves, too much time elapsed.

Loma threw a right hand then Teo countered with a left hook, learn what a counter is bro. :lol1:

I only give him a puncher’s chance. If he hurts Loma or hits him good usually that’s when Lomachenko starts getting really aggressive. If Lopez can’t finish him I think it will be too much pressure for him too handle.
But I can see people viewing the early rounds as close when Lomachenko is looking to mainly analyse and be cautious of Lopez’s power, just putting mostly mental pressure with feints while easing closer and closer.
Lol. I’m loving it
If Lopez had fought a Ponce de Leon, he’d have lost already. His stamina wont allow him to succeed at the pinnacle.
And he was hurt by Nakatani, not very durable. Lomachenko vs Lopez likely doesn’t go the distance. And likely it’ll be Lopez getting pulled out.
Hahahahahaha
Just throwing hands there. No counter left.
He threw a few in the fight. Too bad you dont know what a counter left looks like.
He hurt with a counter left hook, genius :lol1:
Lopez is too strong and powerful/fast for one not to give him a chance to win. Lomachenko is, or should be, tailor made for him. It will get much worse for the 5’6/7 Lopez at 140 with the current crop, let alone 147.
Great analysis man.
He didn’t prove anything to me beating Commey. He was just an average fighter with a trinket in my eyes. I found it really difficult to imagine Commey making it out of those early rounds vs Lopez considering how open he leaves himself on the attack, and his chin sucks.
Lopez is powerful. That’s about it. Lomachenko is a fight to his advantage, because Lomachenko is not great at fighting long-range, issue is, Lopez’ actual level of skill leaves a lot to be desired. Lopez keeps saying he can’t make the weight. But I think once he moves up it’s all over for him. Like you say though, time will tell.
Damn, i’m a beast.

I can see some similarities, however it seems like Lopez is much more grounded than AB so that alone makes a difference. I guess we will find out soon enough though.
It seems like alot of the die hard Lomo fans are counting him out completely and I think it's a fairly even fight from a who wins stand point. I actually give Lopez the edge.
