Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Eager To Make "Big, Bold Statement" Against Teofimo Lopez

I can’t wait for this fight. Me and 3 buddies are heading to Atlantic City on Thursday and Friday night and then heading to MSG with ringside seats. How’s everyone see this fight?

I envy your road trip - happy travels. I see Teo winning a controversial decision and Teo and Haney fighting in the fall.

Both guys are unlikeable. Hoping for a double KO.

Hope Teofimo's dad doesn't F it up.

I thought Lee McGregor may have been on the undercard here.

This guy should not be writing Lopez off, not by any stretch. He sounds arrogant and only setting himself up to fail if he underestimates a dangerous opponent.

[MMegatron]

Already made a pretty big statement by ducking the guy he robbed and fighting a guy coming up off a loss.

Taylor at his best whoops Teo

But his last fight was over a year ago where he didn't look the same fighter and he's been carrying injuries for 2-3 years now

Taylor at his best and active would be great for 140/147

But there's a good chance we have seen the best of him..

Am I the only one who thinks Taylor is looking a bit emaciated and might have a bad weight cut:

I hear what you're saying but this clearly works both ways. Both guys have massively inflated egos. Teo underestimated Kambosos and Taylor underestimated Caterall. I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out given they are both coming off lacklustre performances. They both need to grind and give it 100% as cliched as that sounds.

Either that or Taylor's head was photoshopped to look bigger.
