Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley On Teofimo Lopez: "He's Dog Food For The Top 140s"

[BlackRobb]

Lopez was seen doubting himself on camera man. What you think fans and analyst are going to say about him? What confidence will they have in him.

Taylor won a very close, debatable fight, you don’t see him sitting in sorrow on tv, asking his team if he still got it.

Lopez will need to change people’s stance on him with this fight. But right now, he’s looking weak.

Taylor got son'd by Catterall and clearly lost. It wasn't even close.

I don’t care, good for Catterall

Fact is Taylor wasn’t going around acting weak as fck on camera. And post fight he was still acting confident.

Boxing is all mental. If you don’t have it mentally, nothing else matters, not even physical ability.

140 is a shark tank. I don't think Haney & Garcia are likely to fare much better than Lopez.

Exactly what I was thinking

In my opinion, Taylor did want to fight Catterrall but ALSO DIDNT want to face Matias and the other wolfs. Boxing is all timing and waiting, if you hold on long enough others will have to fight. Unfortunately you will have to drop those belts which Taylor much obliged too.

It's a catchy line that 'Taylor is a dog and Lopez is dog food for the top 140lbrs' but I see this as a much closer fight. I think Taylor is going to have to be a dog on the night if he's going to win as Lopez is powerful, talented, and younger. I've been a fan of Taylor's work in the ring since he destroyed Ohara Davies as a prospect coming through and he's been on a hell of a run to become undisputed. Yes, the Catteral fight was a bad night and a bad look, but as another article pointed out, Taylor's last 7 opponents have a combined record of 133-1. Not only that but he fought through them to become undisputed champion. The guy can definitely fight - he's got a bit of everything to his game - and I think he really needs to be on his A-game on Saturday night against Lopez. If he does, I think he edges it. Maybe Lopez is unstable, maybe he's not, but he's definitely unpredictable (more so out of the ring if anything) and still a serious threat to Taylor in my opinion. He'll be really up for this one too and like the Loma fight, it's another chance to make history and solidify his inflated sense of his own status in his mind. Delusional people can be very dangerous and I expect a close, competitive, and hard fought fight, possibly with a knockdown or two, before it ends. I think (and hope) we could be in for a FOTY candidate.

Well isn't that a nice thing to say Mr. Bradley. Really classing up the television commentator scene. Maybe we should add Snoop Dog to the bills when he talks.

Bradley is just responding to Teo's interviews where he says Bradley should not be in the HOF. They clearly have their own personal side beef and it's leaking onto the air waves.

Wait wait, hold on, let me just get this straight here because now we are heading into bizarro world territory.

You’re saying that Taylor-Catteral was “very close and debatable” but Loma-Haney wasn’t?

How could you possibly hold that opinion?

As far as I can remember, not a single press row media scored Taylor-Catteral for Taylor or a draw, unlike Loma-Haney where several either scored it a draw of for Haney. He was totally dominated on punch stats, and Catteral won 6 clear rounds + a KD (1,3,4,5,6,8) meaning that even if you give Taylor every single swing round, it’s still mathematically impossible to score the fight for Taylor.

To the point the judges were investigated and one of them (Ian John Lewis) demoted.

And in your mind, you’re telling me that Loma-Haney has more qualifications for a being a robbery than that?

Teo already beat a prime version of Loma.
