PR has a history of champs, this boys people comes from a place where the simply don't produce fighters, soccer players, hard workers, excellent gang members, but not boxer..I feel Subriel is PRs only hope right now. When Subreil takes him into those waters, those its in my blood waters, he will fold like a lawn chair.

Does Lopez really think he's ready for the big dogs at 140 seems like he's on a bit of a fast track for a guy who's only 21 years old. A little too fast.
He has decent skills but hasn't went 12 rds yet and also isn't that big of a guy. They list him at 5'8 in his last fight but he's more like 5'6 1/2 maybe 5'7 at best.
Kinda reminds me of a smaller version of Danny Garcia. Good enough to beat the above average competition but probably will struggle with elite boxers at higher weights.Comment

I feel his raw talent is way above Garcia but do agree with you the rest. No way he wants Loma. That's all talk. Moving up might be easier. Of picking up a belt because I still Loma being the undisputed probably by next year.
From a promotional stand point it's better for top ranked to have the top guys in each division. Makes more sense that way.Comment

They should just let it happen. Lopez acts like he's an indestructible force. Since Commey is unlikely to fight Loma in April, they should just have Lopez fight him than putting him on the Crawford/Khan PPV card since he's not PPV worthy. Loma will embarrass this kid and make him quitComment

I like Teo and if he gets the green belt then he will get what he's asked for and that's a unification against Loma.
I can't see Loma losing this fight though cause it will be the last belt needed to unify the whole division.
Loma will be very focused to unify and it will be a huge ask for a young Teo to win that fight.
Win or lose for Teo he gains a chit load of experience just being in the ring with a p4p.
It will be a huge advantage for when he does go to 140 next year.
So it's a win win situation unless you count keeping your 0 over experience isn't worth it.Comment

If Lomachenko made a comment like this this thread would be 13 pages long about him ducking. I’m surprised it’s still not been twisted that way but I suspect it will soon.Comment

This would be a hell of a fight.Comment

That's a fight i'd really like to see. I'm a big fan of Luke's boxing skills and his style. While he has 15 KOs in 19 wins, he doesn't seem like a very hard hitter. On the other hand, Teofimo hasn't fought someone who has Luke's skillset and it seems like a big jump from the Menards and Magdalenos. How would Lopez handle adversity? Let's hope they make it happen.Comment

Maybe, I am not really familiar with him but he definitely caught my eye, will do some research. I've seen him fight a few times. He reminds me a bit of Edwin Valero, Similar weight and powerful, different style, maybe more fluent ? Definitely puts combination together love that, lot of energy. Arrogant though.
Hint, keep working the jab its your friend don't forget that! He's definitely on the fast track good or bad.
Great match making tho. We'll see if he can take it as well as he gives it? Not so sure but he's hot at the moment and busy in the ring, looks in great shape. Hope he's not juicing.
For only 12 fights under his belt and 21 he's defiantly bringing the heat at this level of competition, witch is certainly not world class yet. Find him a guy like Victor Postal that's hard to hit but wont **** him out there if makes a mistake.
I think would be work well at this point of his career. I'm sure Bob has option on Postal I realize he fights at 140 not 135. Lopez is sure full of fire but can he take it? If so better duck. Have felling we'll see soon enough and looking forward to it...Comment
