Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Motivated To Expose The Lomachenko "Illusion"

[GFunk23]

Careful what you ask for Lopez. You say you want the best with the big caveat that you will take whatever cherry your matchmakers feed you. You have never been in the ring with anyone like Loma and if anything, Top Rank is keeping you away from Loma because they know that you’re young and have a bright future ahead of you, and Loma will humiliate you if the fight happened now.

Then Ali was a clown too I guess. Roy Jones Jr was a clown too then.

For doing that, yes. Anyone who stands over an unconscious opponent and mocks them is acting like a clown.

Maybe he thinks he can land that straight right hand that Linares landed. Or some those punches Pedraza landed, but with more power.

Loma knew he made a mistake against Linares, and paid for it. So he does make mistakes, and that would be Teos best hope. Loma also made a positional mistake against Rigo early where Rigo almost caught him, and Loma knew it (didn't do it again though).

I also remember Crolla landing a punch and thinking 'what if that had been Teo throwing it ?. So Loma DOES make mistakes for sure.

I think we need to see Teo vs the likes of Campbell first to be able to see how he looks at the next level up. Hopefully the WBC mandates it and we get to see it, as thats one of the few ways Teo v Loma can end up happening.

Did those actions make those to ATGs clowns or were they just actions people didn't favor. I'm just cautious about dropping labels on folks like clown or fraud.

This Lopez is just using Lomas name to promote himself, the clown even threatens that if Loma does not fight him he will move up to 140, who gives a flyin’ phuck... He fought no one, and empty shell and should not even be mentioned in the same
sentence with Loma until he beats high caliber opponents..

I am just going to leave this here...

Teófimo Andrés López Rivera (born 30 July 1997) is a Honduran-American professional boxer in the lightweight division. He competed in the men's lightweight event at the 2016 Summer Olympics, representing Honduras, where he was defeated in the first round by eventual silver medalist Sofiane Oumiha.

Lopez needs the speed of old faded midget Pacman to defeat Lomachicken!?!

Despite the new contingent of garbage fans and biased media swarming his likeness, I am a big fan of Lomachenko. However in this fight I would have to favor Teofimo. The kid is the closest thing I have seen to a young Floyd and may have even more power. I always said Lomachenko’s style is too dependent on footwork and subscriptions to problems with balance. If some one stuns him the footwork will stop. Tank has the power and atheleticism but I don’t know if he has the confidence and poise to stay in the fight. I think Teofimo brings the complete package. Teofimo vs Lomachenko is 55 vs 45 when I play the fight in my head. Can’t see Loma going the whole fight with out getting hit with some of his most serious shots. With Teofimo’s power that will be a problem for Loma. But it’s all speculation, Bob this is In-house let’s see it already!!!

Dont see where all the hate is coming from....Lopez looks like he has what it takes to be a star. So what if he thinks he can beat loma....what is he suppose to think...

[tomatocantender]

Teo needs more seasoning imo before he fights Loma. I realize his body is growing out of 135 in the next 18 months or so, but a fight right now with Loma is like Fernado Vargas style trouble with a seasoned Trinidad. Yes Teo could have success with lead rights vs. Loma, but eventually Loma just beats him to the punch and wins all the exchanges. Teo is just not ready yet. But is stress "yet" because I think Teo will eventually be the star at 140 over Prograis et al.

[sammybee]

Teofimo is being rushed like how Fernando Vargas and Lubin were rushed.
