Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Martin Ran The Whole Time - I Want Taylor, Prograis, Kambosos!

[Curtis2]

My goodness, Teo is not what he thinks he is, where does he go next? I would think not to any names he mentioned…

[Tibburon245]

Teo was a streaking comet until the Kambosos disaster. He needs to get serious about defense and fighting, not clowning and backflips. Mayorga had great potential too but he stuck his chin out for Trinidad and it went wrong.

I blame Teofimo's dad for the clowning antics. Teofimo needs a trainer like Roach or Robert Garcia. No more bullsht.

Teo's confidence is shot, and 2 knockdowns from a guy with no power ain't gonna help.

Did Teo not bother watching some of Martin's fights? Sandor is a defensive outboxer, so he should've been physically/mentally prepared to chase and cut the ring off. We all knew that Martin was gonna be a bad style match-up for him, so he's fortunate to walk away with the victory. However, Teo is starting to remind me of Donaire in the sense that Donaire fell in love with his power and started hunting for the one perfect punch (usually the left hook) to finish his opponent.

Taylor and prograis would kill teo

Teo is totally delusional! Prograis would beat the brakes off his a$$! Hell he needs to fight about 2-3 no namers just to regain his confidence. Teo’s dad tried to tell him a few good things; but at this point in time he has just tuned his dad out. He needs a Joe Goosen, Atlas, McGirt or Stephen Edwards. I think that Bread could get him straight after a few camps. Aside from that, he’s done! Cooked, clean and eaten. He needs to go way below BoxRec’s top 25 and build from there. Teo is the biggest hype job in a minute! Effing clown

Martin did a lot of "running," but he was accurate with that right hook, and he probably should've been credited with the 2nd KD. It was a poor performance by Lopez, and he doesn't deserve a title shot! However, if JT wins, I'm sure he would take the fight, if he can make the weight! Honestly, I would like to see Lopez fight the winner of Barboza vs. Pedraza! Lopez vs. Pedraza would be perfect for Puerto Rican Day Parade Weekend! Xander didn't really shine enough to headline that event!

I watched the fight last night with Teofimo Lopez. He wouldn't be ready for a fighter like Prograis because he is very one-dimensional. He relies on his explosiveness to overwhelm or catch a lot of his opponents. For his explosiveness, foot movement, head movement and setting up punches is totally absent. Someone mentioned it earlier when they said that Teofimo should hire a different trainer to help him take his career to another level. I agree. Atlas, Goosen or any of those top guys would work.

Last night showed me that a really good boxer, defensive fighter with power would wipe the floor with Teofimo. When Teofimo made that comment last night about his opponent running all night, I knew that he was finished as a fighter. Boxers are supposed to run, hit without getting hit, counter punches, parry punches and use the ring. I think Teofimo should fight a few more tomato cans, hire a different trainer and be real with himself after the way he performed last night. Hopefully someone on his team will be honest with him. At this point all of the top guys like Prograis, Taylor and others would not only beat him but knock him out.

He better not go anywhere near Prograis, that's for certain. Actually hope Regis gets that fight, puts him on the map again for the non-hardcore.
