What's Teofimo Lopez's Biggest Problem

[MikeyMike100]

Is it his trainer, the weight or his style...?

[The Viper]

he showed to much emotion early on and got dropped. He seems to be lacking a lot of basic fundamentals......just having speed and being explosive won't always work

[no.1P4P]

trainer needs to stop cheer leading, needs to think better and give sound technical advice. shouldve realized immediately kambosos wasnt what they thought he was. kicking the front door in played into kambosos strategy. but dont scream for the old mans head just yet lol they built it up together and won a championship. they doin something right. lose the arrogance....stop basing their confidence on thin air. the other factor was lack of focus. dudes got a tutmultuous personal life. hes very much still elite, just gotta learn you cant play it half assed at the very upper level

[champion4ever]

His biggest problem was his own arrogance, smugness, conceit and insolence. Who ever told him that he was so good that he can just go into a fight with no game plan and just a knock a man out with every punch he lands and with wild swings?

Well he did landed some of those.wild punches and Kambosos ate all of that shit and proceeded to fuck him up afterwards. He can chalk this fight up to his own foolishness and ******ity. You never go into any fight angry or mad. It throws you off your game.

The aim of the goal is to win by staying calm, relaxed and poised because this is prizefighting not a damn street fight. He allowed George to get inside of his head and psyche him out by throwing him off his game. Now he has lost Millions of dollars in his very first defeat and title defense by doing dumb shit.

If i was Top Rank I would restructure his entire contract because what good, use, purpose or service is he to them now going back both titleless and beltless. I know Bob has to be more than a little irate right about now after Lopez' performance.

Why would Top Rank be angry about his performance. The man lost a prize fight giving it his all. His performance cane up short on the score card against a top shelf fighter. There was absolutely no dog in his performance.

I am curious is there any way a fighter can lose a fight and you don't call him a bum?

Arrogance, foolishness, and his Dad.

Everyone was saying Kambosos resume was thin, well if you look at his you will see that outside of Loma, Commey & Nakatani, his resume is also pretty thin. After beating Loma his head got too big, listened too much to the chatter, and didn't realize that even though it was a unanimous decision, it was a competitive bout with an undersized, previously injured opponent.

Instead of being a pro about things and ever striving to improve, or studying your opponent, he bought into everything good that was being said about him, and didn't focus on things he could improve. His belief in being "the Takeover" did not serve him well, it seems after getting that decision over Loma he thought it would be an easy ride from there.

Boxing, like many other art forms is a never ending process of learning, he thought he knew it all, or enough to get an easy ride from there on.

He's a good fighter even dethroned, but considering a more experienced trainer that might instill some mental discipline & balance would go a long way for him.

[Ultralight]

His mental health. He's way too erratic and emotional even by boxing standards.

I've never seen a fighter cry over his daddy issues on national tv in the build up for a fight before Lopez did it. I'm not even surprised he lost like this because he was bound to go flying off the rails with way he is and the people he has around him.

[YoungManRumble]

Probably could start by not keeping his left hand so low in that philly shell kinda position. People been saying for ages how he is open to right hands, particularly overhands. Kambosos did well to exploit that and was smart not to throw his weird lead right uppercut he often used to.

[Tails]

It is all of those to an extent probably.

Watching that fight Kambosos earned that win. It was tough for him in spots and he outhustled and out fought Teofimo. I truly enjoy when an underdog upsets the odds.

That said Teofimo should have won that fight because he was doing everything wrong during the course of that fight. If he had the same approach that Kambosos dad mentioned where you take it round by round then he more than likely edges out a win. But he only has himself and his team to blame. You don't make those mistakes at top level and expect to come out with a W.

[daggum]

lack of talent. this was the same guy from the nakatani fight, and in the loma fight he didnt look amazing or anything its just loma did nothing for 5-6 rounds and when you give away that many rounds to a solid fighter you will not win. even the commey fight was just a big shot, more of an anomaly.
