Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Loma Not As Good As They Say; Won't Fight Teofimo Lopez

[Bronx2245]

“They should keep Gervonta Davis’ name out of their mouths,” Ellerbe said. “They’ve got a good fight that they can make in house. All they’ve gotta do is talk to the kid and his team, and talk to Lomachenko and his team. They all have the same promoter. Why are they talking about Gervonta Davis?”

I want to see the Davis vs Loma fight as much as anyone but I think what's lost in this ordeal that should actually be respected is Ellerbe and TMT aren't being fake about the situation. Ellerbe is OPENLY saying they DON'T want the fight rather than PRETENDING they are trying to make a fight with Loma. That's the main thing that irks me about the Fury, Wilder and AJ love triangle lol All three of those guys get articles everyday almost blaming the other guy, saying they want this much money, they wouldn't agree to fight me in my country and all that BS. Ellerbe is straight up saying no we don't which to me is better than stringing fans along believing there's hope.

And lastly Lopez vs Loma is the easier fight to make and they can keep the belt in house and make a trilogy of it. However I am not sure about Lopez beating Loma though. I still think Loma wins but I think Lomachenko should fight Lopez now before he starts to get better. Lopez is green at this point but when he figures it out I think he can be a threat to Loma down the road.

I agree! I hate people calling out fighters they know they don't have the opportunity to fight, and not saying anything about the fighters they can fight! For example, Ryan Garcia is screaming Tank, but he's with GBP! Call out Lamont Roach Jr.! Call out Jo Jo Diaz! Call out Jorge Linares! You wanna hang out with Floyd, call out Tank, then why didn't you sign with Floyd? Same with Farmer! "I want Tank, I want Tank," but then he goes and signs with MatchRoom? Did that make it easier or harder to get Tank? Loma has 2 great options if Commey is not ready! Berchelt @ 130 or Teofimo Lopez @ 135! Make a decision and get money! If you wanted Tank and Mikey Garcia, why are you with Top Rank? Did he miss the whole past decade of pro boxing? Did he not know the history between Floyd, Mikey and Bob Arum? Doesn't make any $ense!

Loma should just say 'if Tank fights Teo at 135, I'll fight the winner'. Then things would go quiet.

Yep, just a pull a "Mayweather" and make everyone else walk through fire before they get to you.

Ellerbe sounds ****** as fucc saying that! Why would Top Rank risk Loma beating Lopez so early in his career when Lopez has the potential to be a huge money draw???
The same reason Ellerbe and Mayweather won't put Davis in with Loma cause they don't want Loma beating their future cash cow,....
I'm a fan of Loma, Davis and Lopez but at this point in time Loma beats both Lopez and Davis... Facts!

[citynation2k]

Tank has fought nothing but bums. Loma's resume is 100 times better. Rigo, Gary Russell & Nicholas Walters destroy's Stank Davis.....Lopez beats Stank Davis....Mayweather team is known for ducking....Davis and TMT is 100% deflecting a fight with Loma..

[BigStomps]

lomachicken won't fight Mikey if he can't make 135, won't fight Teofimo for a huge payday because he doesn't have a title, but will fight Tank Davis for free.

I know you're a Mayweather nuttrider but even you cant be that ******???!
You know why Bob Arum and Floyd won't put Lopez or Davis in with Loma!

[strumvargas]

They need to stop all that BS they know they are scared to put tank in with lomo everyone sees it

[chrisJS]

So he must really, really think Lopez beats the breaks off Tank because he's admitting he's not making Lomachenko-Davis because he knows Lomachenko beats him.

Ellerbe is acting like an overly emotional woman. Lomachenko-Lopez will happen if Lopez wants it and doesn't run to 140. It will be there for Lopez within three fights. I wonder if clowns like Ellerbe and half this forum will be honest and give credit after they see the result because it's a result that will hurt them and make Tank look even more cowardly.

The kid himself, Lopez, has told any and everyone that will listen to him, and even went to his promoter and gave his promoter a deadline, and said, ‘I wanna fight him.’

LMAO at an unproven novice giving the pound for pound #1 fighter a deadline. Sane people can see that Lopez is using Loma's name and if he has set a deadline and plans to move up then it's because he knows he's not going to be able to earn the shot or get a title in the meantime so he's not even on the radar. If you get a title shot by being willing then **** I'll fight Joshua for 1/10th of what Wilder turned down. I don't even want options, re-match clause etc; Bottom line: If Lopez moves up he was just giving lip service and didn't want the fight and went about getting publicity the cheap way and a bunch of idiots fell for it. An indication of the state of boxing fans these days.

Brilliant what Ellerbe is doing. It's not about deflection here. He knows Loma is better. He's trying to pressure Top Rank to make a non smart business decision. Fighting Loma could ruin the kid. Not fighting Loma would piss the kid off and possibly make him leave TR. He's just shaking things up at TR.

I'm sure you realize that Lopez is only 21 years old and Bob Arum is only protecting his investment,.... Lopez has potential to be a huge ppv star so why would Arum risk Lopez getting beat so early in his career?? Think about it??!
