Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Plans 140 Move: Loma Fight Must Be in 2019!

[SugarRaRobinson]

It was clear Lopez couldn't go beyond 2019 from the interview, ideal being September latest. Beyond that, he was like, "if I really have to wait, I will, till January 2020." Why not get him next?

I expect Lopez to abuse the guy he's fighting next.

Exactly, it’s not like he’s been fighting anyone with a pulse lately.

who are these pros worth mentioning? lopez is green as hell he loses easily and loma would get no credit you must know this right? lopez is doing his job of selling himself he's not serious if he was he wouldn't be putting up an 8 month time limit.

It's b/c he's a growing! He'll eventually be a WW in his prime! Loma doesn't have to take the risk! I just don't see a better fight for him! TR and ESPN is making Lopez a star, with or without Loma!

I remember Mikey waiting and wanting a Loma fight before he moved up in weight to fight Spence. Then he realized Loma/Top Rank wasn’t serious about affording him the opportunity so he moved up to fight Spence. As soon as he moved up to fight Spence Loma and Bob started sounding off saying they’d fight Mikey next.

He had a shoulder injury for the big part of 2018 IIRC

Do you guys understand that there's an old man called Bob? These both boxers do what he says, nothing else. If Bob wants the fight in the summer - there will be the fight in the summer. Do you get it kiddies? So call Robert and say aloud, 'please please please'.

isn't lopez the number 1 contender for the wbc belt? he should fight mikey!

Mikey would definitely derail this hypetrain lol

[Curt Henning]

you kidding arum is loving this hahahaha!

oh hes loving the talk...but he wont be making the fight....

the face of his program on espn....vs the 21 year old future? why would he make that fight and hang an L on either of these guys when he doesnt really have to?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

He knows the fight won't happen this year and he'll just move up and then act like Loma ducked him. The kid seems to understand how to use social media and spread rumors at least. Not even 15 fights in and already moving up? Haha. Will he accomplish nothing at 140 as well? I can't wait! Haha.

[Jsmooth9876]

This fight is not going to happen. Arum is not gonna put one his stars in with his top prospects. It makes no sense at the moment as Lopez hasn't even stepped up his competition to top 10 guys yet.

Not worth Arum risking it either way I dont think.
A ramirez fight at 140 makes more sense to me.

Lopez is not ready for Lomachenko just yet IMO.

[ShoulderRoll]

commey is not next you dummy stop spreading fake news! commey wants a gimmie fight before fighting lomachenko.

That's what I said in the post you quoted, dumbass.

That Richard Commey is not next after Crolla. Learn to read.

[Hoyas Left Hook]

There are a lot of good opponents at 140. I think Lopez is capable of beating Jose Ramirez.

good fight that would be
