Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: If I Fought Loma Again, He'll Get Knocked Out & He Knows It

Well Lopez can talk all he wants but Loma wanted an immediate rematch and Lopez refused. So talk is cheap here.

It might be Lopez's biggest money fight available, but he doesn't want it for some reason. If it's easy money, why doesn't he take it?

So people talk about what would happen in a rematch. Here are some scenarios: Loma starts early letting his hands go and leaves himself open and gets timed and stopped by Teo. Or, Loma starts early and builds up points but then as the fight wears, he also tires earlier since he exerts more energy early and Teo comes on late to win a close fight. Or, by Loma starting early, Teo is also more worn down by the mid rounds and Loma brings everything he has later and wins a clear decision. That's just 3 outcomes. So many possibilities due to their styles and pace. So when people talk about Loma starting early, that can be a double-edged sword. It could net him a win, or a harder to take loss.

Lomachenko deserves a rematch.

He does, but if Loma wasn't wined, dined, and seduced by Teo and his father, he would have put a rematch clause into the contract so he has himself and his team to blame and Arum hates rematch clauses which didn't help either.

Can’t understand why Loma thinks beating Nakatani better than Lopez did means something. The lightweight division is stacked with more meaningful, much higher-profile challenges. Why not challenge Valdez, Tank or Haney? Loma seems to have lost confidence in himself.

Lomachenko deserves a rematch.

Loma strategy was very odd. He gave the first rounds and took over the fight later on but it was not enough.

After adjusting Loma was beating Lopez and he showed enough to grant him a rematch and hopefully they'll fight again before Loma getting too old or Lopez moving up.

If he really wants it, he'll have to go to 140 to get it! I think Loma should've moved back to 130 for Valdez and Stevenson!

Media did a real good job of whitewashing that loss quietly. Even has Teo forgetting.. Couldn't even find a 10 second clip of it on YouTube.

Yeah, Teo would like to believe he was "the first!" Don't most men? HAHA!
