Barboza seems like a good dude. I hope he wins. I think he will.

I feel the same way as you do. I believe Barboza is going to pull off the upset too.

Teofimo no longer has power above 135. He is now a twelve round fighter.

It’s boxer/counterpuncher vs boxer/counterpuncher. However, Arnold is the naturally wider and larger man .

Which is why I am favoring him to pull off the upset.

Barboza seems like the king of guy who is a bit stiff in the shoulders and doesn’t react well to being taunted. The way I see it, Lopez is going to frustrate Barboza with his showboating and cócky attitude and ultimately make him play into his game and run him into some major shots. Barboza gets undone through 12 or possibly stopped.

Barboza is clearly the superior boxer in this fight. I believe he's the far more mature and hungry fighter too. To me, it would only register as a very minor upset.

You may be right but just remember that Teo is the naturally smaller man who lacks both the size, reach and power at 140. His days of knocking out fighters above 135 lbs are over.

I agree. Barboza had to chase this guy down for years just in order to fight him . It was a reason why Team Lopez chose to duck him.

It’s also the reason why they have been ducking Devin Haney because it’s a bad style matchup for them. They are both pure boxers who are undefeated and good.

Teofimo Lopez is definitely going to have to take some risks in side of the ring in order to defeat this guy.

I believe that Arnold Barboza is overall the better boxer who has more natural ability than Teo.
