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

Are you mentally handicapped? I just want to know now before I say anything else. I'm seeing signs and would feel bad if that is true.

Stop ducking the question.

You said I lied.

So you're saying Teo didn't catch COVID.

Ok

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.

There's no way Teo's boxing twice this year. Assume the fight happens on Oct 16th he would have to either have a shorter, 6-8 week training camp or immediately go back into training after Oct 16th to get a full 10 week camp in just to sneak a fight in at the last week of December.

Mentally handicapped, it is. Your question is worded in a way that makes it irrelevant to your lie, and therefore it gives me no reason to answer. I know you won't understand this but hopefully you have someone that can explain it to you in words that you understand.

Bottom line, you're admitting one of two things.

1. Teo lied about having Covid-19, thus delayed the fight unnecessarily ; or

2. You're such a super fan of the guy that you're willing to make excuses for his actions.

Either option results in the same outcome.

Your diva set off the chain of events that led to the current disaster and waste of millions of Triller's money. Period.

'
Second Lopez 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.'

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.

Loma lost because he was slower. He came on in later rounds as Lopez tired. That’s it. Shoulder made no difference. Lopez’s gameplan was to shut down that sidestep to the right with hooks and uppercuts and Loma was too slow to avoid them so backed off until Lopez lost some sting. Only that too too long and Loma completely misjudged it. However even if he had come on earlier he’d probably have been stopped. Wear and tear. Past his prime now in my opinion but one of my favourite all time fighters. He’ll loose to Lopez again in a rematch.
