Comments Thread For: George Kambosos Drops, Decisions Teofimo Lopez To Capture Titles in Huge Upset

[Kannabis Kid]

Good win for Kambosos I didn't give him a chance at all based on his previous performances but he showed up last night and did his thing. Lopez looked bad and his attitude after the fight said it all he sounded defeated.

There is no rematch clause cause Kambosos was the IBF mando and their fight actually had to go through purse bid. Therefore, the Aussie is not obligated to give Lopez another go. Besides, Teo doesnt deserve a rematch and hopefully he doesnt get one like Loma didnt get his lol

I was wondering about that, since he was the mando. Not that I'd be worried about Kambosas in a rematch, but rather I'd like to see him move on to challenge Haney first, then Loma. I feel like if he fights tank, and if, if, Tank wins, those belts will be hostage forever against lower level guys.

Wow, wow and wow, I feel like Teo is the real deal but he needed to get humbled. This is actually good for the sport and the 135 division. We don't need cvnt like him and his father have been acting lately, kidnapping the belts 4 18 months. What would be funny is Kambo fighting Loma and screwing Teo for a rematch, styles make fights and feel like Kambo get stopped by Loma pressuring him.


I hope Kambo fights Loma or Haney for the real undisputed title.

Something is wring with Teo, I think he's kinda depressive and his father is an alcoholic. He's also draining his ass too much, he needs to get a shrink and move up to 140.

Look, if Kambosas goes to Haney next, Loma should give Lopez that rematch in the meantime. He didn't want it when he had the belt, because he knew it was a lottery win and didn't want to risk it (imo). Maybe he'll want it now.

Not sure how Lopez will deal with things now, as he can't lay back and call shots anymore as a beltholder. Maybe he stays in 135 and moves on? Maybe he moves up to sort of start with a clean slate?

I think maybe Lopez was sincere about the best fighting the best before he had the belt, but then when he got it, it was like Gollum and the ring. He just didn't want to risk losing it. Maybe he gets his hunger back after the loss. Or maybe he fades away...

Lopez displayed exactly who he is last night. That loss and the teams lousy reaction to it will haunt him into any weight division.. The "election was rigged" BS stunk out the joint. He best work on his character as well as his boxing skills.

After the way Lopez treated him and stated that he wont give Loma a rematch, Loma can tell Lopez to go F-k himselt now... and he would not be wrong! Stay in 140 where he belongs.

Loma is gona get a chance to fight for those belts again one way or
another..

Kambosos won this fight before it even started. He made this being big grunge fight for no real reason. Lopez fought with anger from the start, he just wanted to finish Kambosos. he had no real strategy outside that.

Kambosos has already said Haney next in Australia, hasn't he?

Not sure what city in Oz Kambosos is from but he so reminds me of the Greeks, Macedonians, and Italians in Melbourne….who collectively remind me of NY/NJ Italians….just a bit different from the rest of their respective European origin populations of their countries….tougher, tougher, and all around harder. I’m not at all surprised he won, he always looked like the winner in how he carried himself at the conferences and I think really intimidated teo. It’s great to see an Australian fighter at the top level again

He's from Sydney, and yes, the Greeks and Italians from Melbourne and Sydney share a lot of similar traits

I don't know. Didn't stick around for the after-fight remarks. Even so, saying it ain't the same as doing. Kambosas prob intends to, but Haney has to agree to fight, and then agree on $$, timing, etc.
