I wouldn't call either of these guys pure counter-punchers. Haney has turned himself into a pure runner of late, but Lopez can fight equally well on the front and rear foot. Haney normally enjoys significant hand and foot speed advantages over his opponents, but he has neither of these against Lopez. He also doesn't have any advantage in overall craft and he's up against a pretty clear power deficit against Teo, even though Teo is the naturally smaller guy. I actually think this fight is going to be an interesting and exciting high-level chess match that might just turn into a barn burner before long. Here's hoping anyway. Lopez TKO 10.
A boxer/mover vs. counter-puncher. Teo has shown the output (vs. Claggett) and athleticism to be a decent front-foot fighter, but he prefers to lure his opponent in. He's weaker when he has to lead the dance. He's probably gonna have to chase Haney, who has a slight reach advantage. There may be a clear power difference between Haney/Lopez, but that doesn't mean Lopez will be able to land enough to rattle Haney. All we can reasonably predict is that Haney won't be winning by stoppage.

Gonna be a stinker lol.
They both have styles that'll bring the worst out of each other. Especially in Lopez's case, Haney looks terrible every fight whether he wins close or dominates.
Both their annoying fathers/trainers will make the fight about themselves so maybe the press conferences might provide some form of cheap entertainment.Comment

This is a GREAT fight on paper regardless of how it goes down in the ring. Kudos to both fighter's for stepping up and taking a risk at a point where a loss could be seriously detrimental.
People should be grateful that these kind of matchups are happening much more frequently and in the fighters primes unlike the past!Comment

Has Lopez shown significant power at 140 and above? No. When was the last time he had a KO? That's what I thought.Comment

Haney/Lopez should use this bout to acclimate to the full limit. If Lopez really wanted to move up, he could've done it vs. Norman last year. Then Ennis would be chasing him.

an anticipated clash of two of the so-called “Four Horsemen,” a phrase coined by member Ryan Garcia that also includes unbeaten lightweight titleholder Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
the four horsemen lol
4 donkies might be closer to the mark some might say, i think he was smoking his cali weed when he thought of that oneComment

Habibi is a word of endearment in Arabic. How is that racist? Haney is also Müslǐm, what’s wrong with calling himself Mohamed?
Edit: Apparent the word Müslïm is offensive. This website is as trash as it gets.Last edited by Oregonian; 06-03-2025, 02:26 PM.Comment
