Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Jr. seeking title unification with Isaac Cruz

Pitbull holds a legit title at 140. Maybe he should have stayed at 135 if you think he's too small for any of the big names to fight lol

It wasn't a legit opponent.

Pitbull is a very well conditioned fighter. You can tell he takes training very seriously. He's ready for a long, hard fight. He doesn't come in the ring to throw a stay -away- from- me kinda jab, hiss like a snake, then take a full step back to avoid incoming punches, and repeat. He comes in to f...ck u up, and he wants a Barrera vs Morales type of war, but no one seems to wanna give it to him. The way Rolly was bumpin his gums b4 the fight, I thought he wanted that contact, but he started running as soon as Pitbull stepped to him in round 1. Seeing guys run from Pitbull makes me sad that I'll never see Joe Walcott the Barbados Demon on film, a 5'1" welterweight, who regularly broke ribs of much bigger men and had true 20 round stamina and was damned near impossible to hurt. It was said he had very long arms though, and could jab with much taller men. But when it comes to Pitbull- its beatiful to watch him make guys run though lol

Pitbull is tailor made for Loma.

Yeah Rollie is a bum, and Cruz is a caveman but he holds a legit tile nonetheless and to become undisputed you gotta get all the straps so Teo can lock this one up if he chooses.

and rolly is Cruz’s best win. So that’s saying something isn’t it? Cruz is cool I think he’s a good fighter with a lot of heart a helluva chin and he’s got an all action style. I just think he gets wayyyy to much credit just for going the distance with tank. He barely beat cabrera who’s a bum Zepeda just annihilated him. There’s levels to this ish and Cruz is a level below below Teo

Cruz is 26, making him the second youngest age group for the new emerging light division young lions... the youngest fighters are one year younger at 25. Gamboa was a better scalp than Rolly and while it is a fair point to say Cruz has not Beat a great fighter... This is not necessarily true and a misleading point, taken out of context. Many people feel he beat Tank, and while you are entitled to your opinion, it does not change the consensus, and neither does the judges score cards. His age means he probably has not had the opportunity to fight a lot yet.

He is developing and improving. A fighter should take a few losses coming up... Shows they learned something. Lets see how he does against Teo if the fight happens... One of us can eat crow.

Pitbull is tailor made for Loma.

Really... When was the last time Loma fought a Messican styled, physical fighter? On yeah one of the fights he lost... Loma is a beast, but Cruz is a legit pressure fighter who will either be taken apart by Loma and physically destroyed, like the great Cuban fighter, or, he will force Loma and grind him down like Salido did, but do a better job at it.

bro this is the problem. No one thinks he beat tank. No one. He lost almost every round. Good fighter lots of heart but he’s not elite as much as his cutting supporters want him to be. Put him against prograis and watch what would happen. Haney rygar shakur teo even catterall and Taylor would beat him

Ima interject here. Not a Cruz follower at all. And I think you're right about levels. But look at Kambosas Jr. He's clearly a level below top guys in his weight. However, when he brought that angry fight to Lopez, it was curtains. So that's a possibility at the very least.

Lost by home cooking. Also W against Salido but problem is that Loma isn’t a hyped up American like Ennis, Haney, shakur etc.

[Haka]
