that's how I have it
I think Lopez is over-hyped, as people tend to fall in love with flashy punchers. Nakatani scored a lot of points on him, and won rounds.
Anything can happen, and Lopez *could* catch Loma with a good punch and end it ...
BUT
I don't see that happening. After looking at almost all their fights, this is my conclusion
1. Loma has much better footwork and movement than Lopez. I know from my own years boxing that this is a really big deal. Loma isn't going to sit in front of Lopez all night waiting to get hit: he is going to move laterally, cut off the ring, come at his opponent from odd angles, etc. Lopez's footwork is very weak for a top-level fighter.
2. Lopez hangs his left hand down and tries to sucker his opponent to come in, and then counters. That works against a lot of club fighters: it isn't going to work against Loma. Because Loma is a southpaw, he is going to jab Teo's face all night, and probably cut him.
3. Loma is a much more skilled boxer than Lopez. For every big shot or counter that Lopez throws, Loma fires off a 4 punch combo.
4. Loma's competition up till now has been much better than Lopez's. The Ukranian has great endurance and and endless motor. He isn't going to tire like some of Lopez's inexperienced opponents.
In short, Lopez is going to get schooled, and maybe knocked out late.
But you never know ...
I can't see Usyk beating Joshua, and I think that Joshua knows he needs a dominant performance
Usyk's defense is lousy --he is a straight-up fighter with mediocre footwork. He has never really been tested, and he is going to be giving a way a lot of size and reach.
