Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn wants Jack Catterall to give Teofimo Lopez 'a good arse kicking'

It won’t happen. Teo would price himself out!

Very true and also Eddie does not have a track record of overpaying fighters when it is his own money (not DAZN money and not Turki money).

That may be true, but the odds are against you. If you travel to the UK, the odds are 80% you are going to lose a close fight. Sure Earl Spence Jr went to the UK and defeated Kell Brook and Terrence Crawford went to Scotland to defeat Ricky Burns but those are exceptions because they are extremely talented fighters at the peak of their powers.

in boxing if u travel to any country and take on a champ the odds of coming away with his belt in a close fight are low to very low to non existent

It's not the robbery part, it's the pay part. Eddy isn't bleeding spondutits for any man. Why import Teo to kill the buzz?

yeah no way is take over teo going to the uk unless he gets paid turki cash to do it, its not like caterall is a star or anything, teo can barely fill a 5000k place in his huge hometown & jack is not a big seller at all i dont think so unless turki himself gets involved & teo should butter him up maybe

if i was teo i wouldnt travel either, i mean he gets his close call fights just fine where he is, he probably wont get them anywhere else unless he is on a card run by his promotion he might be ok then possibly

This is the basis of my prefight point system. We all know there is a hometown edge. If it can be quantified it can be codified.

i wouldnt want to try to codify the likes of adelaide byrd, it would break even a super computer

Teofimo at anywhere near his best is too good for Catterall.

Jack is excellent and underrated but Lopez would be a very hard fight , I'd have to lean towards Lopez but wouldn't put money on it...Jack would have to go to New York for that to happen.

if teo did go the the uk jack could make it ugly and take his title even if he didnt deserve to on a homer decision but if jack went to teos place i dont think he has a chance in hell of taking a decision

[Smash]

on first read of the thread title i thought it read arse licking

UD Lopez. 8 rounds to 4.
