Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Shines: Rocks, Decisions Josh Taylor To Capture WBO Title

[BigZ44]

Taylor definitely needs to go to 147, but I'm curious to see how he does there, the weight is definitely a big part of his struggles, but I don't think it's the only reason. His lack of a jab has really cost him in the last two fights against guys with quicker hands and it mitigates his size advantage.I think there's a good chance this is the end of him at world level, but I'm certainly interested to see how he looks at a new weight

They really are taking a long time to read the cards

That was a beating. Was never sold on Taylor, but I figured the size would be too much for Lopez to overcome. Amazing performance be Teo.

9-3 Lopez

Teofimo 8-4. Clear win.
That should shut Taylor up for a while.


The espn commentary was embarrassing as usual. They had decided that Teofimo was in control and had already won after two rounds.

I had predicted Taylor edging Lopez because his ability to adjust and the no quit attitude. Teo's timing and speed dominated the fight. Taylor had no quit and threw the right punches but was too slow for Teo and when he connected he wasn't hurting Teo.

They already gave Teo the belts before the scorecards have been read

another UK hypejob exposed lmao, they always fold in bug fights

He was the first 4-belt champ in his weight division and beat multiple champions to get there.

He's past his best, but he didn't achieve what he achieved on hype.

I think it's time we all put respect on Teo's name

I’ve always respect Teo ability, his pops is annoying & Teo went a bit off the rocker after the Kambosos fight, and got a lot of flack looking bad against Martin, who is tough to look good against, but real fans always respected his ability.

To be fair, in the UK he isn't really loved by the boxing fans, everyone knows he lost to Catterall, he shouldn't have been in there tonight at all. He beat Prograis in a good fight. But anyone can have a one off great fight.
