Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Questions Himself After Tough Fight With Sandor Martin; Do I Still Got It?

[Dip_Slide]

Believe it or not some fighters are past their best at such a young age. First they're getting hit in the head, which affects their ability to take a punch and their brain activity as far as reflexes and ability to learn and progress and so on. Also you have to be a bit crazy to be a fighter and when you mature too much, your body kind of stops you from hurting yourself so you see a lot of guys gun shy. Also not feeling challenged enough for too long stagnates your development and ability to progress. Mike Tyson was done at 24. He was done before the Buster Douglas fight and that fight only unveiled it. This could be the case with Lopez, but he could prove us all wrong, we'll see, but I'm not optimistic.

Even at the young age of 25 Teo seems to have lost some of his fast twitch speed, which I think made him so dangerous, it certainly was a factor in the Loma fight. Even Teo's victory backflip doesn't look as sharp.

Someone tweeted that he was crying on the way back to locker room and thats a sign of depression

I believe that. His baby mama was acting like an absolute cvnt. She didn't even wanna give him the baby or the cameras on her. Like wtf why even be there?

[STREET CLEANER]

That thing that made him special is not there. Two fights in a row he have looked ordinary. Don't know if the KOes have gone to his head or he has too many distractions. His woman wouldn't give him his baby, a bit of baby mama drama after the fight.

He thrives in being ****y and confident and that has been dented.

No you don't have it anymore, and you were never "The Take Over"!

It's could be his dad, or his girl, or the relationship between his family and her.

But something is definitely not right and is sucking the life out of him.

You heard what Bradley said about him acting weird during fighter meeting and wouldn't go in detail. Said that was a complete different person. Who can cause a young man to become a complete different person.

Plus I saw his wife looking pissed immediately after the loss backstage, damn near hit the baby head into camera the way she was walking. No older woman should be conducting herself this way unless she older toxic one.

Credit to Martin, he’s a hell of a boxer. And that second knockdown was legit

Teo is like a dog passing a persimmon seed. It's killing him and he knows he ate a hundred of them. 140 is a mine field, Sandor was supposed to be a show case for Teofimo. Not life or death.

[garfios]

Clear to anyone who watched him in between rounds 6-9 against Kambo that he's struggling mentally. Kindve sad when you can clearly see he's trying to mask all of his insecurities with that bravado. Certainly doesn't help he has an asshat for dad but he has no one to blame but himself if he can't find the courage to change.Karma more often than not is a *****.

Didn't Know he was a fellow SC/Caleb fan so he definitely is going through some depression smh....

Sandor said that he knew, he was in teo's head, that all his antics showed insecurities. I think he's right.

All the top guy's at 140 beat Teo

True however to be fair, that division is a murderer's row. So much competition. Teo is a big boy but @135... and his punch does not carry. Similar problem to Broner when he started to come up. People tend to not realize how many people in the world weigh "140!" or around... Your competing with the largest segment of the population!
