Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Sees 'No Point' in Having Rematch With Lomachenko

[Duran1333]

Loma fan boys live in another reality. He only won 3 rounds in the first fight, and fought scared. It was the kind of performance that isn’t deserving of a rematch.

[Raggamuffin]

Uh, Loma has more than earned the right for a rematch. If you don’t give him a rematch, you’ll look like a spoiled ***** that you’ve been acting like lately. Loma came on late and was hitting you at will. You didn’t dominate him.

[Tinman]

López wasn’t too convincing in the win. If it was so easy then it would be an easy payday.

Is boxing still a business that makes fighters money? It's the easiest fight to make that also makes him the most money. That is the point for a rematch. Teofimo must not think he will win a second time.

This guy is almost 2 years removed from his last fight. Talking about wasting the momentum.

If only boxers were forced to defend the belt every six months, the sport would be a little better.

Before I make this comment:
1. I thought Lomachenko would school Lopez.
2. I thought Lomachenko sounded like a sore loser after the loss and I praised Lopez for calling out the best, adamantly saying he will win, and winning.
3. I did have Lopez winning clearly and handily.

With that said, here is my comment as an unbiased fan who knows nothing about what is really going on behind the scenes of these fighters careers:

Lopez and his dad are scared at the possibility that Lomachenko’s shoulder really was the reason he was largely ineffective for like 8 rounds. They rather not find out the hard way and will just keep calling him a sore loser.

If Lopez decides to never rematch Lomachenko, this will end up being Lopez’s “what if” moment. This might end up hurting him or it will just end up being lost in a resume littered with the top boxers of his era in a possible HOF career.

One thing is for sure, I think we have seen many instances where the true top fighters of their weight classes give their tough fights a re-do. Whether it’s the A-side giving the B-side a rematch, or the B-side giving the A-side a rematch. It’s just the “fighter” thing to do. If Lopez has any pride in boxing at all, he needs to give Lomachenko a rematch before it is too late.

Duran rematched SRL
After going 1-1 vs him, Ali gave Frazier a III
Pacquiao-JMM happened 4 times
Young Mayweather rematched Castillo
& past prime Mayweather rematched Maidana
Ken Norton gave Ali a rematch
Morales-Pacquiao
Barrera-Pacquiao
Recently Ruiz rematched Joshua

The list goes on. Lopez is going to be in that list where it’s like…what if they rematched? Almost every great has that 1 or 2 fighters they had to rematch. And then Lopez better not lose in his prime, ever. Because when he loses, all fans are going to point is “that’s why he didn’t want to rematch Lomachenko.”

And then that loss on Lomachenko’s resume, historically, is going to look about as bad as Torrecampo’s win over Pacquiao: Forgotten and no one caring about it. No one listing that loss as a reason why Lomachenko can’t be great. Gonna be more like “How did Lopez get that win and didn’t capatilize on it? Didn’t do anything else in his career?”. How you beat Lomachenko and then have a crap career?

So Lopez better pray that won’t be his last great win if he’s going to act like this.

My advice to Kambossos. Lopez is going to be on steroids in the NY fight. BE AWARE. Heard of this in close circles. There is a mafia going in the US on boxing when they fight boxers from other countries specially on boxers with Hight profile like Lopez since they wanna keep a close circle of mediocres like haney, davis (the midget) and lopez from other prospects to take over.

[MrShakeAndBake]

The way he finished his previous opponent , it's understandable why he has no balls now. Loma would phuck him up.

Typical Lopez/Davis style of behavior. It's what's wrong with boxing.

You didn’t find fault with Loma dropping the belt and sitting out a year rather than defending against Haney.

Yet you criticize Teo for not fighting Loma again and criticize Tank for not fighting Loma.

How exactly does that make sense?

You live in La-la land... you guys are clowns... He literally was unifying a division.. Haney? What the **** are you talking about dude? Haney?!........ Who the **** cares about Haney when you're unifying a divison?
