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

[Rodtang]

I had to agree with the brilliant plan that Teofimo shared with Timothy Bradley on this weeks Toprank telecast, a catchweight with the 'Tart-Tomato' Josh Taylor at 137½ for the jr. welterweight undisputed championship sounds more promising for Lopez ; a fair point in using Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz fighting at 130 as a good example

-- Although Josh Taylor wont be able to claim the lightweight championship as 137½ is beyond the lightweight limit. However, I'm sure WBC president Mauricio Sauliman would create a 137½ Franchise title for the special occasion and maybe even a whole new division like Bridgerweight.

But if Teofimo Lopez leaves lightweight for good, Vasily Lomachenko can have his pick of Teofimo's vacant belts against a ranked bum and then try to beat Devin Haney in a unification on DAZN. It would be a fresh start for Lomachenka, I know that avenging losses has not worked out well for Vasily, so in essence Teo is actually doing Vasily a great service.

There has to be a sport out there for you, you should keep looking. Maybe something simpler though as you don't understand boxing. Perhaps one day though, I'll pray for you.

Teofury Lopez is up to his old tricks of saying he wants a fight then saying he doesn't lol. I like the kid but I can't take anything he says seriously lol.

So is Lopez the first disputed, undisputed champion in boxing? Thankfully Josh Taylor is a real undisputed champ. No fakery there.

Hahaha. This the most obvious duck language I’ve ever seen. His dad was at Loma’s last fight, he himself started warming up to it cause he realized it made financial sense and was a fight the fans wanted to see…. Look Teo very clearly won the first fight but that has become more and more to look like Loma lost that fight more than Teo won it. Loma came on in the second half. Figured the kid out, hell even started man handling the larger Lopez…. Too little too late. Then Teo saw Loma absolutely destroy a fighter that gave him fits. He don’t want the smoke. Honestly I don’t know who wins a rematch if they fought, but Teo doesn’t wanna risk that the run he’s on right now. He loses to Taylor he will still have a boat load of big fights and nothing is lost. He gets smashed by Loma after running his mouth like this and he starts to look real Flukey. I love what both fighters bring to the table. Shame they’re not coming to the table. Bad for the sport

You can't duck someone you already beat. You also conveniently ignored the last round when Lopez hurt Lomachencko.

That has to be the most harebrained idea I have heard in ages. First, there's no guarantee that the belts would be on the line. Having all sanctioning bodies on board here seems near impossible. Second, it's a ***** move to squeeze all the water out of Taylor so he can fight at a catchweight. Last, given that the odds of the belts being on the line to actually be able to call oneself undisputed are astronomical, there are not going to be any belts on the line at catchweight. With that being the case, it's an absolute duck. It defeats the whole purpose of moving to 140 pounds. Two years ago we heard that Teofimo can't put his damn pants on because he's too big for the division. That was two years ago, and now we hear that he can make 135 comfortably. WTF? This kid has a special talent for talking out of both ends at the same time.

Get in the ring and fight Lomachenko. You're a ****ing prize fighter. Fight for the ****ing biggest prize, dumb ass.

Good thing Ward was not the judges. Ward is my guy but he scored the fight horribly. He had Loma winning going into the 12thround wtf.

I should sit you down and watch that 12th round with you. You need to learn about boxing because it's obvious you don't know what the **** you are seeing.

[Cypocryphy]

Not every W needs to be followed with a rematch.

Yeah. But this one does. The fight was intriguing because Loma started to dominate the kid. And anyone who says Loma was hurt in the 12th round doesn't have a clue. When I think of being hurt, I think of Haney with Linares. Loma took those punches well, most of which were blocked. So I don't know how hurt he was. If you go off of Bradley shouting at the top of his lungs on things that weren't even happening, such as punches that never connected and whatnot, yeah, you might have a skewed view of the 12th round. The truth is that Loma out-landed Lopez in the 12th round. Check out the replay punch count done by the Editor-In-Chief of Ring Magazine. It's eye opening for those who have a different opinion.

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.

Normally I'd call BS on this statement, but there's some truth here. First, anyone who thinks that the mafia is no longer involved in boxing is delusional. Just watch the betting odds in Vegas. Tell me how often a fighter is the favorite, and then, at the last minute, all these bets start flooding in for the underdog. You just watch. You'll see. It happens almost ALL THE TIME now.

Second, Lopez said some su****ious **** on the show the other day. He was defending Valdez. He was saying that it was "brave" of Valdez to come on the air and say that he's a clean fighter. Say what?!? He was "brave"? The kid was defending Valdez as if he's cool with poppin' ****. Cool with Valdez doing so and cool with himself doing so. That made my spider senses tingle.

Third, how is it that Lopez is making weight so easily now that he's older, but when he was younger, two years ago, making weight was a ***** and he couldn't do it anymore? He was going to have to move up immediately. But two years later, this 135 pound division is easy to make. WTF? I suppose it'd be easy to make if you're using PED's, right?

Last, how is it that Lopez was able to get the WBC to make the franchise title transferable when it wasn't supposed to be? Canelo's isn't transferable. But all of a sudden Lomachenko's is transferable? Sure ... right ....

There's a dark cloud hanging over the Lopez's now. Something stinks over in their corner.

"Great service" yeah just like the one you provide when you are hanging out at the ranch in Tuscaloosa Alabama?

Peter, I hear Tyson, Billy Joe and 'Tart-Tomato' Josh Taylor contracted various STD's sharing the same whores at the new Gay-Friendly LGBT brothels in Las Vegas, can you confirm?

It doesn't surprise me at weakening Taylor as a very real desire. It's a North American thing. A coward thing. F3cking degrading.

I'd be embarrassed if they came from my lands. I feel the shame they clearly can't. It's across the board now. They're not fighters. They're f3cking punks who are just humiliating themselves.

Sid-Knee, where are 'your lands exactly'? Someone told me that you were a internet Taliban sympathizer western hater.

Avenging loses has not worked out well for Vasily......how so?

Are you one of those casuals that believed ESPN pro-Lomachenko propaganda, did the 'undefeated' graphics of Vasily's record that ESPN published, fool you too?

Just when I thought 1hourPunchbag couldn't get anymore bananas.. I was with one of Josh's training partners the other day, John Thain, and word is he's looking to move up to 147 after El Gato gets clobbered. Ain't no 137lb catchweight with Teo happening soon, bro!. Teo better be ready to get his azz on a plane to Scotland if he wants a crack at #Undisputed. Fake undisputed vs Real undisputed.

Josh Taylor is the B-side vs. Teofimo Lopez, this fight must take place in America for our PPV dollars. Remember, Jose Ramirez was the A-side vs. the 'Tart-Tomato' ; the marquee read ' Jose Ramirez vs. Josh Taylor '. Furthermore no major European platform aired Ramirez vs. Taylor for the jr. welterweight undisputed crown.

But Josh Taylor has IBF mandatory Subriel Matias problems, so a catchweight at 137½ with Teofimo Lopez is looking pretty good.

Good point.

A few posters share the opinion that Loma would’ve won if he just started fighting earlier.

The 12th suggests had Loma fought rounds 1-6 like he fought round 8-11he may not have made it past round 7.

Now could he have gotten Teo out early if he fought that way? Possibly. But he didn’t have the courage to try.
