Tonight proved he's nothing but someone who relies on his huge size advantage and power. At 140, against fighters as big as him who hit just as hard and can take his shots, he is FOOD. I don't even think he has a chance against Zelda or Barrios, Taylor and Prograis will put him in a stretcher.
Teo is FOOD at 140

I think he could well benefit from moving up tbh it'd surely help with his punch resistance, stamina and power at least.
For me moving forward he needs a better trainer that can give him technical advice and help improve his fundamentals while he is still relatively young as I put a lot of the blame on his father personally. He was clearly fixated with a first round knockout and got it into his head to go looking for the K.O which got him put on his a55, there was no instructions or advice on how to adjust, truth or anything but delusional, embarrassing talk coming from that corner. He's as **** of a trainer as he is person.

Yeah, he had a huge size advantage at LW. He won’t have that at 140 nor will the power transfer over. He’s an athletic fighter but he makes so many technical mistakes like keeping his damn hands down. His father has stunted his development. Guys his size will capitalize on those errors. Kambosas overcame the size and power advantage with clean and effective boxing 101.Comment

I agree with the "bold". His father is an idiot and it seems like Teo has a similar mentality. He thought he was going to run through Kabosos just because he is the bigger guy and more powerful puncher. This loss is well deserved.I think he could well benefit from moving up tbh it'd surely help with his punch resistance, stamina and power at least.

I would disagree. Lopez has heavy hands and still does not have his man strength. Its not so much that his power is "there" for fighters like Prograis (an excellent fighter) rather, it is that his power will increase as he gets his strength through his natural development. I also think he needs to separate from his father... His whole affect is an albatros for him in the ring...Tonight proved he's nothing but someone who relies on his huge size advantage and power.

Exactly. 140 is where he is going... and while the division has talent a plenty, Lopez has the chops to compete with fighters like Taylor and Progrias provided he gets proper instruction and coaching. he is a talented kid who is being led astray by his dad.I think he could well benefit from moving up tbh it'd surely help with his punch resistance, stamina and power at least.
