Loma is heavily favored to beat up Lopez and win by wide ud or late ko.
He is favored but I don't see him winning in dominant fashion. If he wins, it will probably be razor thin and he will probably get dropped. That said, I got Lopez in a convincing win.
People love KOs but at this level KOs are rare.
Loma is not a KO puncher and went the distance with a lot of guys. Teo has good defense and reflexes so he will not be easy to hit.
Lopez has a big punch but only against stationary targets, Loma knows this and will keep moving and changing the angles.
Loma also has a pretty good chin.
So we have two elite guys who don’t want to get knocked out. This fight will be a borefest and likely goes the distance.
Lopez is going to come after Loma with bad intentions. No chance it's a borefest.
teo haney with all the belt involvement should have the edge
unless u like a reg champ v a twitter champ
I'd say Tank vs Garcia due to Mayweather's involvement and Garcia's massive social media popularity.
Zab Judah
Joan Guzman
Edwin Valero
I wouldn't say that Zab was wasted talent at all. He was a 140 lb. Champion multiple times and a unified welterweight champion as well. Lost most of his big fights but had some nice wins in there. Agree with Guzman and Valero.

We need a translator but I see $891,000 in the article so it seemed like it could be related to the OP.
It says that his mom accused her of withdrawing $891000 without his authorization and that he is going to give his version of events soon. It also says that he isn't destitute but rather has a lot of money put away although he was impacted financially. The quotes were from his promoter.
When did you hear about this do you have a source?
I actually googled it after reading this post and one of the French papers has an article about Stevenson's woman fighting with his family over his money. The family alleges she withdrew $890000 from her account. Seems like it was from last year though.
Yvon michel said Beterbiev would come back in Quebec, now its the chance? Biggest fight possible in QC
Biggest fight in Qc now for sure. I wonder if they would do it in Montreal or in Quebec city?
Can't see anything apart from this.
Fury put on a clinic last time, yes Wilder got two knockdowns but even in those round Fury came back and backed Wilder out.
And this was an out of shape ring rusty Fury.
This time round Fury in in much better condition, has lived in the gym for the past 15 months and has put on lean muscle.
He is training Kronk style, which teaches on setting up the big right hand for the knockout.
Last time Fury was not even going for the KO, but he hurt Wilder several times.
Fury say he going to take the fight to Wilder, and that is what he did in the 9th and 12 round of the first fight when he got knocked down, and he showed he backed up Wilder, had him hurt and had Wilder blowing.
If they both go in swinging, Wilder will empty his tank much quicker and will get hit more often.
Wilder coming in heavier as well will burn far more energy and will be fatigued in the second half of the fight, where Fury will step on the gas.
Yes Fury has put on more weight, but he is a much more efficient mover, and this time around he in twice the condition he was last time.
Fury has the height advantage, the reach advantage, has the better defense the better skills, the better stamina and the extra weight will make him absorb Wilder's punches better than last time.
Even if Wilder lands, Fury and take it, get back up and dominate the fight.
Wilder cannot outbox Fury, and Fury will be more switched on than last time.
Let's face it all you Wilder supporters only think Wilder will land a big right and Fury won't get up. But logic and the last fight says that won't happen.
Only thing that will spoil my prediction is if cut opens up and it is stopped or if Fury stops Wilder very early.
I've put all my money in my betting account on Fury for a late KO.
Interesting prediction but I don't see any scenario whereby Fury doesn't end up dropped and then stopped. I feel like Wilder will be locked in more than ever before. I also don't like the 20 extra lbs on Fury. Props to you however, if you are right. We shall see.
After 40 fights he's not going to suddenly learn how to box well now.
Didn't Marco Antonio Barerra become a master boxer with a brilliant jab after more than 40 fights? It's improbable but not impossible
Fury will be sticking out his long arm and ducking and dipping. Eventually he will get hit with a sledgehammer and die.
Yup! Exactly. Nothing more needs to be said.
I’ll bet all my points against half your points that Crawford wins.
Yup. That clown will never do it though. Bud will destroy Khan and this dude will go silent.
Fury doesn't believe any of what he is saying. He is a good boxer for a big man but he won't be able to avoid Wilder's power for long. Wilder has already stated that Fury hasn't got any power so he will probably be even more aggressive than usual. 8 can't see Fury surviving.
Yes, he knocked out Big Show on PPV. I didn't see any one talking bad about Big Show for picking on Little Floyd.
Big Show told Floyd that he could punch him in the face but NOT to break his nose. Floyd then fired a 3 punch combo and breaks his nose immediately.
I'm just trolling mate, since Wilder and his hardcore fans turned on Ward and Mayweather because they gave their opinions too apparently making them jealous as well.
Ah. Okay. Good point on some fans turning though, I noticed that a lot recently as well.
https://youtu.be/OhPR8ex-RGs
They're coming out the woodwork now.
He doesn't sound jealous at all bro. He is just saying what the majority of people who saw the fight are also saying. It's not like he dished Wilder. He just gave Fury props. AJ also.
So which slick fighters did he struggle with aside from Raheem?
And Lomachenko doesn't actually move like that. He has great movement but for the most part is right in front of you like Pacman in a way. Not sure the Raheem fight is a good comparison for this.
Pacquiao had great footwork and a bit out of prime Morales was able to handle him. Great match up, can't really call it.
Good post. Raheem and Loma do have different styles in terms of slickness.
What do you think would have happened to Loma?
Tough to tell. Morales got undressed by Zahir Raheem so it is possible that Loma would do the same. He seemed to struggle a little more with slick fighters I think but I couldn't say for sure. Peace.
she know her boxing, we cant deny wilder anymore used to be a time we can dismiss him but not anymore.
Yes I agree that he cannot be ignored or denied but number 4 pound for pound, he isn't.
No strongly disagree, Wright was an above average boxer but never an elite.
He was ranked number 2 pound for pound at one point. What are you talking about never elite? He schooled Mosley and dominated Trinidad.
First, let me say how impressed I was that a tune up fight for Lomochenko was a title eliminator.
However, in my eyes the best ever boxer looked either nervy ti throw right hooks, or its permanently gone for good. Will he get the confidence to utilise it ever again?
I hope he was just a little gun shy. If it is gone, he can forget about Mikey. He may have lost anyway truth be told, even if his right was 100%.
