Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: We're Standing Firm on Facing Kambosos on October 4

[deckanina]

Yes he did.

So now, he needs to be apologizing to fans and Triller for the wasted money and come at it correct.

CM Punk is about to upset this guy.

Your hate won't even let you recognize the truth when someone puts it right in front of you. Just admit you were wrong and move on, it happens. Hate hate hate hate!!!

How are there so much problems with teo and his team making fights? This is not how an A-side conducts business.

There’s a lot a false narratives going around regarding Lopez and this fight.

First off he is undisputed. The only people who claim he’s not are the WBA who literally invented the franchise champ and promoted Loma to it. That still makes him the man in the division with respect to the WBA. It also demotes the regular title that was given to Haney to a lesser title. Anyone thinking otherwise is just wrong and the WBA only did this to rinse yet more sanctioning fees from fighters. Anyone who can’t see through this is just blinkered or using it as some crap excuse to attempt to force a fight between Lopez and Haney. Who exactly has Haney beat to deserve that fight? He’s crap. He got wobbled by an old Linares.

Second Lopez beat Loma fair and square. He outboxed him with range and more importantly power over the first 6 rounds. That had nothing to do with Lomas shoulder, it had everything to do with Lopez coming in with a great gameplan and executing it to perfection. Loma could not close the distance because of what Lopez was doing not because he had a bad shoulder. I was a big Loma fan and still am. He lost the fight. Decisively.

Third. Lopez has every right to act like he’s something special. He is. He beat the number 1 p4p fighter in my opinion and he did it with relative ease. That puts him right up there. If not in earning terms then at least in terms of skill set and potential. Triller paid way over the odds when it went to purse to make a hold statement and it’s utterly backfired and they’ve been trying to recouperate or at least minimise their losses ever since. Yeah Lopez was a **** and caught Covid but then realistically with Australia’s lockdown rules that fight was never going to happen there and the sceptic in me thinks both Triller and Lopez knew that. Why should Lopez who’s the undisputed champ be forced to move again from his home ground of MSG?? Just because Triller overpaid for the fight.

No, I recognize real.

Teo is a diva now. Fact.

His COVID (sloppy, not following distancing) delayed the fight. Fact.

You can defend your guy all you care to, but you can't dispute the facts, brother.

Hmm. No. The Ukrainian was hurt and never fights that way and was saving his right arm for the 7th, and in the 7th Lopez had no distance to close and was being chased around the ring at that point and it became a fight up close. That's where the skillset difference between the two was very apparent. The Ukrainian was superior, even though in the absolute danger zone of Lopez' power. Loma, with the best differential in the sport Lopez was swinging at fumes. And with one shoulder the Ukrainian was not able to use his angles as he normally would. You don't cut to the right without having a right hook to back it up.

Lopez' supposed mastery of range in the first 6 rounds, that's silly. It was truly Loma's mastery of distance to save his shoulder for the 7th and later rounds. Yeah, there's power but Lopez did absolute **** in the first 6 rounds. What did he do? Nothing. What happened in the 7th? You got to be on crack to think that the Ukrainian didn't do it in the first 6 rounds because Lopez had some magic skill with range.

The fact that the guy he fought had major surgery the day after says it all. And the fact that his dad asked him to postpone the fight 4 weeks before the fight because the shoulder was flaring up shows the reality and context of the situation. The dude that fought Nakatani is the dude that would have fought with Teo if he had been healthy. Teo went toe to toe with Nakatani and could barely do ****. 12 rounds and nowhere close to taking out Nakatani. Hard hitting Nakatani looked like a kinderkartner against the Ukrainian dude. Night and day. So, the fact that with the torn labium he still put in what he did in the later rounds, has any boxing pundit worth anything seeing that that win was a mirage for Lopez. Relative ease? No. You got that wrong. Teo was pushed to the brink and a healthy Lomachenko with the obvious skill set differential would have been the fight everyone was waiting for.

Now, wait a minute.

The only reason this got delayed originally is that SOMEONE was sloppy and caught COVID.

THIS IS A LIE! i just want to make sure everyone on here is clear. THIS IS A LIE! and the "person" who wrote it knows it is a lie but won't admit it. That is not only disgraceful but also the sign of someone that does not care what the truth is and will just spew hate however they like no matter what the truth actually is. Just sad. I truly hope no matter takes this "person" as a source on anything.

Teo's a chump. He is the new breed? Typical millennial. Avoiding that hurt Ukrainian dude cause he saw the Nakatani fight. All about money and no character. No legacy. The great fighters like Leonard and Hagler fought each other in clearly needed and wanted second and third fights. Quelch the thing everyone knows, Teo is not all that and manipulated a rematch clause out of that contract and played games to get in the head of the Ukrainian. The guy went into the fight with a hurt shoulder because he didn't want the opportunity to slip away. Idiot move he'll regret for playing with a low life life Femo. Femo is an over inflated ego. Charlatan father and son. Some fighters come to fight. Some yap and yap and try to get in your head because their scared of fighting on an even scale. Teo is a chump weight bully who's not that skilled. Davis takes him out in 8.

There was no rematch clause for Loma/Lopez. Like it or not Teofimo Lopez has done the most from the new generation by far in beating two proven champions. So it tells you how sad the future is for the sport and its fans. Will the IBHOF weaken their standards and accept Tank as a three division champion? Teo beat Commey, Nakatani who are bigger but he's a weight bully. Get your info straight. You may not like him but before this debacle with triller he was moving the chains like a real champion does. Compare his resume to anyone under 25 and over featherweight and you'll see he's accomplished more than anyone else has. I agree i don't like that he isn't interested in a Loma rematch and it's a shame. However he's making lateral moves in moving up to fight Taylor.

... You're saying Teofimo did NOT catch COVID?

[BoxngLove]

If two actually fights 2x this year like he says, I will change my SN to "Teos_B*tch"
It's just not happening. He could have rematched Loma already, but he's gonna wait for him to get a little older and slower. Smart move by his team, but he's not fooling anyone but the drooling fans.
