Comments Thread For: Arum On Lopez's Weight Troubles: No More 135 Pounds, Has To Fight At 140

That's what they want you to believe! I've heard that Spence was 175-180 before the Porter fight! That's a lot of weight cutting!

I think he was closer to 190 or maybe that was before the Mikey fight. He seems to be keeping his weight down between fights since the accident. You could always see it in his face before and he's looked good since.

Loma actually had shoulder surgery, so there's that. Loma doesn't need to beat Lopez to avenge his loss. If he beats Kambosos, he's the man at 135 again. Lopez won't go back to 135, and he won't accomplish anything at 140 unless Taylor gives up a title and Lopez beats from fringe contender. I don't see that happening. It won't be long before Lopez is on suicide watch. Lost his title, losing his woman. Tick, tick, tick, tick....boom!

Loma has doctors saying he had surgery, and Lopez has doctors saying he had an esophageal problem, and breathing issues. Either way, Lopez beat Loma. Can't change history! However, you're correct about Teofimo's issues! I still can't believe his Father let his son go into battle like that! Papachenko also let his son go into battle with injuries, but not life threatening injuries! i think Teo definitely has bigger problems outside the ring! However, I do think he'll get a title at 140!

Don’t take me seriously mate, it’s just banter

I don't. But I'm shocked lol.

But do come along mate, stop trying to delude yourself that pbc doesn’t make good fights….they just don’t cater to Hearn which is what you want

They make some good fights. Of course they do. But if they play ball with the other kids in the playground, there's much more fun to be had. I don't expect them to cater to Hearn. Just genuinely try to make the best fights. But I see no effort. At least Hearn tries. He can be faulted for sure, but not for trying to make the fights. It's about the fighters careers after all. Them, (and us fans ) are the important ones here. Not the promoters. But i see no effort from PBC to make such fights unless it is all their own. That's just limited. I don't like having this type of conversation, but is it too much to ask for the best fights? It's our money that pays the wages after all.

BS called. The symptoms from being beat up were not there before the fight. All smiles throughout the fight. No obvious signs of distress. Happy to believe he was winning every round. Utter disbelief when the results came in.

Paulie Malignaggi said it best. No fighter is gonna show hes hurt or didnt have a proper training camp, its all about keeping a poker face. Youre a casual

I was gonna say the same thing, mexiFistology.
