    Clagget is as tough as teak one tko loss 10 yrs ago, these sort of fights often make the Champ look ordinary its just the nature of a guy fighting the fight of his life and the other going through the motions. I agree his power is not as shocking as it was at 135 Teo is a hot and cold fighter..

      Some of you never give credit to the opponent

            Lopez has nothing for Tank, Stevenson and Pitbull Cruz. They all beats him.

              Claggett was tough as fk and didn't show up to get folded for a payday.

              He did really good.

                That was not a great performance by Teo. It was a good one but not a bad one either. Lopez displayed some nice defensive skills, uppercuts and combination punches but my biggest take away from this fight is that Teo just may be a bit too small for this division. He should have stopped this 35 year old dude. However, I doubt that Claggett even felt any of his punches. At 140 Teo is now a distance fighter. He can’t hit.

                  Claggett is one tough bird. We already see Lopez' power isn't moving up with him.
                  He needs to get real and stay where he's at. Otherwise he gets starched at 147.

                    Not the Showman more like the Clown Show.

                    No way he stands a chance vs Crawford, not even Ennis.

                    This is what happens when you think you are better than you really are. You stop trianing hard. Get over confident on his power. He said he was better than Mayweather, no way in hell. His weight bully days are over.
                    Yeah he would be way out of his league at 147. First, he struggled against a 32 year old Josh Taylor, arguably lost to Jamaine Ortiz and now went the distance with shopworn overachieving 35 year old whom he should have stopped.

                      All fighters are tough and brave or else they wouldn’t be fighters in the first place. However, even tough guys get knocked out. I’ve witnessed it. I’ve seen it happened before. We just have to accept the fact that 140. Lopez no longer has punching power anymore. He can’t hit. Claggett was the perfect opponent for him too. A face first brawler and he still couldn’t get him out of there.
