Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Says Teofimo Lopez Fight Doesn't Go Past Six to Eight Rounds

[Malvado]

Not sure who to pick but Teo is physically stronger than a number of other fighters Taylor has fought, with the exception of Prograis.

Teo is like a glass canon, explosive fighter with exceptional power but his durability is questionable.



Though Taylor is more hittable than Martin and I don't know if Teo had a life threatening illness in his fight with Kambosos.

i know i'll get a lot of hate for this but i think teofimo is a bad matchup for josh. josh likes to get into a war and will get caught flush by teo

That's why they fight and not just on paper. Everyone thought AJ was gonna steam roll Andy Ruiz. And 1,000 other fights like it. I can see Teo winning. He actually should have a loss...

I would agree aside from the fact Teo CANNOT fight against top tier fighters that are BIGGER than him

He's a complete weight bully and that has been exposed

Josh will break him down

By all the comments looks like it's a 50/50 fight. I'm picking Teo.

One i'm looking forward to

2 undisputed champs facing off (debate Teos amongst yourself)

Both were rated highly and in p4p lists

Now

Both now hated by a lot of people cause of the way they've reacted to fans reactions of their poor performances

Both have great wins over top opponents

Both coming off their worst performances

Both been down

Both are also good boxers

A lot to win or lose for both. For the winner if a dominant win they will get back to where they're considered one of the best like they use to be. For the loser will have to start to rebuild

You are pretty close so far betting wise they are giving

Taylor 61% chance to win

Teo 44% chance to win

WIith need serious money down to even risk it.

that 1 Punch At A Time Adrien Broner style not working against Taylor

I think Taylor humiliates Teo and prove to be too big and too skilled for him but Teo has Pop so he has a chance

[PredatorStyle]

Yeah I would say Taylor is an obvious choice with his strength and work rate, plus his mental strength won't diminish... Teo has a chance though and they wouldn't have taken it if they didn't think he could win. I agree that Teo, having lost his size advantage, will have to improve dramatically to beat Taylor and Prograis. He also put too much pressure on himself earlier and can't really back it it.

[Cypocryphy]

This fight is going the distance. Lopez has a mental health issue that comes out when things aren't going good. He'll have some success early but that's about it. I got Taylor winning by decision

I definitely agree with this. He seems to fall apart when the going gets rough. That 12th round with Loma seems to be an anomaly now. Kambosos wrecked him, and in the voice of Andre Ward, "Every time Teofimo gets hit by Josh, it reminds him of that dark place Kambosos took him to."
