Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez's Inconsistency is His Consistent: Weekend Afterthoughts

[Theshotyoudontsee]

No one mentions Lopez turning his back when he was getting hit, Ortiz hitting with **** whenever he tried to corner him. Lopez was not cutting off the ring because he was getting hit hard with shots and he backed off many times. Lopez is always looking for the big punch to hurt his opponent. He is not a great boxer. Great athlete and reflexes. But very low boxing IQ.

Agreed. No one will look good against a runner who won't fight.

And yet Inoue keeps stopping the guys who only come to run against him... Why? Because he can cut off the ring. Beterbiev stops the runners. Canelo beats his runners. Benavidez beats his runners. All the top guys who are pressure fighters can cut off the ring. Lopez is a counter fighter who doesn't know how to cut the ring, and that comes down to lack of a few basics. Zero adjustments made by him or his idiot dad either. He's the -700 favorite here, so he's the one with the expectations.

Both fighters deserved to lose.

Wouldn't it have been funny if the ref said to them after the fight, "You both ******, now GTF outta my ring!"

It takes two to dance if one is not willing the show is off I think Teo tried.

Cliff Rold articles used to be worth reading because he use to offer some actual insider insights. Now he just summarizes Boxingscene forum comments. Teofimo could've fought smarter, but 117-111 was a generous score for Ortiz.

Anyone who appreciated/tolerated what Jamaine Ortiz did last week needs a refresher on what this sport is supposed to be about.

Exhibit A.

I hope you understand the sheer irony in putting up that Duran/Leonard fight when you consider what happened in the rematch with Leonard disengaging for most of it and showboating.

Canelo can't cut a ring of to save his life. The reasons to why he beat a few who moved should be clear to anyone who knows the ins and outs of those fights.

Who mentioned the 2nd fight except you? Leonard never once fought like Jamaine Ortiz fought Teo.

Do explain.

You put up the first fight between Leonard and Duran. This was to show what boxing should "Really look like". But in doing so, you put up a fighter who did basically the same thing in the rematch with Duran as Ortiz did with Lopez. Surely you've seen the rematch? Therefore, it's very ironic.

Do explain.

He can't cut the ring off properly. What else is there to say? Why, against whom did he do so? Consistently too. I don't want examples of when his opponent was tired or what not. If Canelo can do so, there should be plenty of examples against proper opposition.
