Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Refutes That He's Lacking Confidence: "I Know I Got It, Are You Dumb?"

[Sweet_Science_]

I wasn't being disrespectful to teo when I said kambozo took his swagger. Some fighters lose confidence when they suffer a defeat, especially their first loss to boot. I think teo drank the koolaid as AW would say.. and I think at the elite level hes just an elite athlete trying to ko guys with every punch. And even teos fans gotta be wondering what kind of chin he has.... Matin said it himself, hes not a puncher and he knocked down teo with a cuffing shot. I'm a fan of his because hes entertaining but I'm worried we've already seen his apex in the sport.

Teo haters in full bloom.

Could it be that Sandor Martin is a very good opponent? He did send Mikey Garcia into retirement and he does have over 40 fights.

The expectations for Teo maybe a little too high.

lopez is like a small version of imam, shoots the counter right similarly but doesn't have a jab. the big 3 will grind him down round after round.

He's not convincing me; it's all a façade at this point.

He sounds like a frightened child and it almost makes me feel sorry for him.

He's been put in a position that's way over his head, and he's just flailing around, trying to keep up.

I don't think he believes any of the things he's saying; he's just saying whatever he thinks will keep him safe.

But it's not going to work.

Sooner or later, the truth is going to come out, and he’s either going to end up retiring early or finishing out his career as a gatekeeper.

I like Teo and was happy he backed his talk with Loma.
His excuses after getting bested by Kamboso is no different from all the other excuses we’ve heard in boxing by many many fighters.

That’s not hate. That’s just Teo turning people against him. I think he won’t this fight. A close fight nonetheless.

That fight and Kamboso is very telling and we can predict with an 80% certainty that it’s just a matter of time (maybe 2 fights) before Teo gets beat. And I mean get beat badly. So it’s not hate.

Lopez is next in line for a shot at the winner of Prograis - Ramirez so we'll soon find out if he's "still got it". Whether teofimo pushes forward with that fight will tell a lot about his confidence.

Teo does so much better when he is counterpunching. When he presses he jumps in thinking that he will continue getting away with not getting hit that causes him to take a knockdown. If he can't fire his dad that has brought him to this point he has to add another trainer to add to his skill set.

Enough people have watched him now to figure out his style and him coming forward to get a KO won't work for him anymore with top fighters.

Prograis, Taylor and Ramirez are offensive fighters and may not do as good as most think here because they will go into Teo's strength.

That’s your problem douchebag. You are too overconfident. Your complacency is hurting your career. You’ve lost all your hunger and focus since winning that Loma fight.

Teo has the skills and makeup..

problem for him currently is that he has the devil in his household.. what a basic looking vile woman this man decided to throw his life away for.. his Father tried everything to save him… fool refused to listen.
