That is no surprise. i can't stand the bragger but he is not like Broner. He can really fight well and he trains hard and is devoted to being the best he can be.
Both fighters look to be in tremendous shape. Loma looks bulky and strong too.
I think Lopez affected Loma's demeanor a lot, even Loma acknowledged that, by saying, "I said I was not gonna trash talk but now I'm trash talking." I personally like that. Tell him how you are the best ever. Talk **** to Lopez.
Top Rank should have promoted this fight a lot more.
Lomachenko appears to be attempting to intimidate Lopez 'This is the first time, I have seen him really behave in this manner'.
Note: I have not really watched all of Lomachenko's career, just the odd fight here and there 'He always seemed a extremely cool and removed individual from trash talk'.
Teofimo Lopez is the bigger fighter, hopefully also the stronger fighter physically. If this is true? He just needs to fight a disciplined fight for the first half of the fight 'Jab and move, then take it to the body as the fight progresses'.
I have never been overly impressed with Lomachenko's movement, he has some nice steps 'Very artistic'. But if you watch his fights, he does not have the ability to cover distance at speed 'He does not have the closing speed of Ricky Hatton'.
This is why I think Lopez needs to keep this fight long, let the man chase him 'Then as the fight progresses, just make it a physical rough fight'.
Teo is doing a Mayweather skipping routine, its obvious he looks up to Floyd, he said just recently Loma is no Floyd Mayweather during an interview, looking forward to this fight its a big deal if Teo pulls it off.
There's more clips out there. I just chose the shortest one, knowing how some posters here have short attention spans.
Earlier during the pandemic Teofimo was hitting the weights really hard. I'm just glad he doesn't seem overly bulky and stiff now. Should make for a better fight.

I know i hear you.
I seen them you tube vids of Teo doing weights when Corona hit and he hadn't yet signed,
I give him that hes gone back to the proper way to train for a fight.
But hes in over his head, Loma trains twice as hard and trains his brain for quick responses.
To make it easier you can just ask ya self Anatoly or Lopez snr.
What a 47sec clip of Teo skipping changed your mind?
Cmon man, Teo in for a beating.

I was ready to write off his chances due to all the weightlifting he was doing. Didn't think that was the right approach against such a mobile fighter like Lomachenko.
Nice to see he's looking lean and agile with some stamina.

Loma is the older, more mature man. End of story.
It’s one element of the fight and does it mean he’ll win? No.
Ok :lol1:
I don’t dispute any of that as that’s also factual.
Gonna be a great fight, young lion vs old tiger. Teo is much bigger and stronger than Loma, but can he beat him?
Yeah these kind of matchups are rare these days. My brother is picking Teo and I have Loma ( Sometimes split sides just for fun so we can trash talk ) They were almost the same weight at their last pre fight weigh in. Still my brother says Teo will be ten pounds bigger in there. I hope the get on the scale for fight night. I just think Loma being such a good mover and defensive fighter ( though he has been hit more often of late ) will be able to circle Teo and it might get dicey, maybe even sum KD’s, but ultimately Teo will run out of time? We will see. Trying not to analyze this fight too much. Not even looking at tape of Teo. Once they are in the ring together I will believe that it’s actually happening.
Ok and I never said that younger = better.
Going round in circles over a factual statement. He’s the younger, fresher man. End of story.

Younger≠better.Its like I would say Loma has a maturity on his side lol

Loma will take him into deep waters and drown him. Too high of an IQ and skills.
You guys act like Loma is Floyd. He’s a great fighter but he can be hit.
None of the above changes that Lopez has youth on his side :lol1:
It’s a totally moot point.
Younger≠better.Its like I would say Loma has a maturity on his side lol
last time I checked, before the fight when they actually show Numbers..weight,height,reach etc...Age included.. . and not "whos closer to prime" :pat: so its a factor!
can you tell us whos got exp. at 135 though? and at what point you get to be experienced? I guess being an ibf champ aint enough
and if Lopez has 0 experience..then why everyone is so hyped up for this fight, wtf Lopez even doing over here?
:pat:
Its like saying 18 years old fighter has an advantage over 25 old.He is younger!Its a factor!BS just look at Canelo.
can you tell us whos got exp. at 135 though?
Talented fighters all young so no.Experienced are bums like Linares.

Lopez is talented, thats why he is a champ but he still learning and not experienced.It a FACT.He fought one world champion it a FACT.And when i last time checked the comments 90% were about Loma schools him@ just watch Fighthype Fighthub Top Rank youtube channel.
