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

[ShoulderRoll]

All this talk about "Lopez needs to get a belt first" is baloney.

I bet Lomachenko's next opponent will not have a belt. If that's the case then why can't his next opponent be Lopez?

The Illusion is that you think he's right in front of you and then you get hit 4 times and not know where the punches came from. Then you hear the count start at the number 4 and you're nauseated while trying to get back on your feet.

That’s a good way to put

You guys getting paid by Arum to put out 5 articles a day on this?

Its about time we got some articles talking about illusions.

I'm starting to think it's all talk. They want to use Loma's name to get headlines and media coverage to make Teofimo's name, just like this article, but then it seems like they're going to run to to 140 without ever fighting Loma and fight someone easier.

Teofimo is already throwing out excuses, and roadblocks, to the fight happening. Stuff like, to paraphrase, "I can only make 135 until December, but Bob wants to do it 5 weeks later after the Superbowl. I don't know if my body can make 135 after December."

Hey, I'd rather it happen in December too than wait until February 2020, but if you're going to use a 5 week difference (Superbowl is first week of February) to avoid the fight then you never wanted it to start with and this was all for show. So we'll see what happens.

You again with the corrupt lies..The boy TOLD YOU, bob & l0m0 that he is growing out the division so don't try to make it his fault that he is growing, genius. Don't ignore that l0m0 said for him to get a belt cuz for all we know l0m0 might be the on stalling so Teo won't be able to make the weight, genius.

They did the same with AJ-Wilder like overnight. It was almost as if one of the promoters or execs told them, "OK we're ready now, start building it for us."

It would be great to get some insight into how boxingscene operates with the promoters because you're right, it's supposed to be a news site and yet it really feels more like a hype site working for the promoters. Even the way this article was written seemed intentionally divisive as if trying to get fans emotionally invested in the fight, writing things like "whether you like it or not," etc etc, sort of trolling the readers, helping Teofimo sell himself as the villain to Loma or whatever. You said it right, it's like he works for the promoters, but you were wrong to say just Arum, I've noticed it with all these big fights.

How about we get insight on YOU cuz you ALWAYS going against the truth. Who's your boss?

Who cares....

About the illusion (l0m0)?

Ok that might be the better option than ODH/Vargas but I can see Loma getting a KO/TKO from the accumulation of accurate punches.

I can also see Loma going to sleep from one punch, like the one Linares dropped him with! I can also see Teofimo roughing him up, like Salido did too!

That's a good question. The WBC says it is still waiting on Mikey, and saying they aren't putting a timeframe on it, but it looks like Mikey still hasn't made his mind up yet so everyone left hanging.

Meantime the WBC has said complimentary things about Campbell, hinting they won't screw him out of his mandatory slot, but next step has to be either Mikey making up his mind, or the WBC putting a time limit on it to keep the belt active.

Loma likely the one least affected as he's got his sights on the IBF belt, which takes him till September earliest (estimated date that he can be ready for next fight once his hand comes out of the cast), which Commey likely to align with instead of taking the mandatory he wanted pre-Loma (especially if the mandatory is Teo).

Commey already saying he wants a tune-up to "test his hand" before Lomachneko!

Go ahead, get a belt and get your ass kicked already. Bob tried to protect Teofimo but can't protect him from himself. Oh and his father, Lopez senor, he keeps it about as real as Danny Garcia's father...he's full of s-h-i-t

The only thing bob is protecting is his money & its good to see people keeping it 100 like Angle & Lopez cuz too much fake in this world especially the fake fans in boxing..

I care about the fight. It's two of the most athletic explosive guys in the sport, definitely the two most at 135. But I agree, the talk is getting old. I like that Teofimo is trying to sell the fight, but repeating bigoted myths about Lomachenko, a fighter who already has a lot of prejudice against him, is crossing the line, like saying Top Rank is protecting Loma, they put together the Crolla fight to push an illusion, it's all fake bull****, etc etc, when Top Rank didn't even want the Crolla fight and it was forced on them by Hearn and the WBA, is just a bad look because Teofimo may not realize this, but there are prejudiced fan-media out there with large audiences who are going to take that quote and use it as "proof" of all their most prejudiced opinions about Loma and Top Rank in general.

It's one thing to sell the fight, it's another to say things that are going to contribute to further prejudice and lies about someone else who does not deserve it.

It was a mismatch set up but you wouldn't know that cuz you don't even know how to box..LOL..Funny how Teo is with bob then he gets love but now that he's putting light on l0m0 you weirdos have a problem with it. FOH

Who is your boss?
