Comments Thread For: Martin Not High On Teofimo Lopez: "He Don't Have The Power For 140 And He Don't Have The Chin"

Who actually scored that for Lopez? Most of the observer score cards called it for Martin. Teo did outstrike Martin per compubox, but Martin was in control the whole fight, and scored two knockdowns. No idea why that second one was ruled a slip. It was very clear. Boxing needs to use instant replays to review those calls.

Martin's not lying. He literally said he's not a big puncher and he dropped Lopez twice which we all saw. We also seen a relatively light hitting Kambosas drop Lopez. I think at this point, he's going to be managed well to avoid monster punchers. Seems like just a few lbs difference changes this guys entire perception.

Never forget what Figueroa did to him years ago.

Maybe Teo shouldn't be counted out just yet. He is like Broner--great potential but bad management. Send Dad to Honduras so he won't suck all the air out of the room & fck with his son's mind & life. Get new trainer like Roach or R Garcia.

No... Martin is telling the truth. Even admitting that he himself is not a big puncher. You got to respeck a fighter like this. He's stylistically a great test and can't wait to see him test (expose) more fighters.

“He don’t have the power and he don’t have the chin. I’m not the hardest puncher and I knocked him down two times.”

Now, if this were the old days, Lopez would run it back to prove it was a fluke and to shut this guy up.
