Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Jnr predicts he will see Shakur ?laid out flat?

[MessinUmlaut]

I hope so, he's a more entertaining fighter than Shakur. Not to say that I think it will happen, Shakur is most likely too elusive for him.

[Corelone]

I look for Shakur to do anything to win, including stink the place out. Lopez will do anything too, but it won't be up to him. Shakur will control the space, too far away or clinging vine close.

yeah look at all the recent teo ko's

hes not ko'ing anybody and neeither is the other guy

One actually will fight. The other mostly bores the place out by running

[Haka]

Boxing skills is just a selling point and marketing point it does not mean anything except in the amateurs, any rudimentary boxer can overpower any type of supposed higher skilled boxer see Mayorga, Maidana, Madrimov etc. There is only careful matchmaking and in this match Teo has advantage by weight and experience and explosiveness and the rest of it, any type of win for Teo is expected and a KO could be in the cards indeed.

[Coverdale]

Can't see a KO either way in this one. It's an excellent matchup which I'm looking forward to. If you're only here to pour scorn then maybe you're jaded and need to find a different sport.

Feel free to visit your local bar to watch drunk cavemen-like brawls with wild haymakers galore all over the place.

We talking Emanuel Augustus style brawls? I'm down. Though they probably won't be drunk enough to get that level of dedication until after the Teo-Shakur fight has ended. I was hoping for them to get it on earlier. Then I can sit down, relax and fall asleep with the Teo-Shakur fight.

Though hey, if they come out and put on a great show, I will happily eat my words. I'm all for exciting main cards and keeping eyeballs from casuals glued to the sport, long after a match has ended so they're excited for the next one.

This is why Lopez will lose. Going for the ko against a skilled fighter never works out. Stevenson is that good

It's just bs. They're both counter punchers and it'll get a snooze fest.

does shakur still scream AAAHHHH after every punch?

I thought SS fought well against Zepeda, but it seemed like he got too much benefit of the doubt for doing so. Like, that's a normal requirement for most fighters.

Most guys aren't getting 120-108 cards by being pinned in the corner for long durations against an opponent who got off with almost 1,000 punches. I understand he fought from the pocket more than usual, and he lit Zepeda up in spots, but it was periodic. Zepeda basically fought his normal fight as well.

I just thought SS got too much credit on the cards for it and I wonder if he will get that same benefit against Teo.
