Teofimo Lopez and Lomachenko: Celebration Double Standard

[Nehnenqui]

This article, https://www.boxingscene.com/lopez-im...what-i--138142, which was recently featured on this site starts off with the following:

“TEOFIMO LOPEZ has left a sour taste in the mouths of many by celebrating his explosive victories with backflips and dances in front of his crestfallen opponents.”

Yet I don’t remember these same weirdos that have a problem with Teofimo Lopez’s celebrations having a problem with Lomachenko’s celebrations. I wonder why. No outrage when Lomachenko was doing a backflip in front of Roman Martinez or when he was taunting the overmatched Miguel Marriaga (moving up in weight and coming off of a loss) in the same manner Adrien Broner often taunts his opponents.



I’d love to hear the reasoning why Lopez and others are considered “disrespectful,” “arrogant,” etc., and why these same descriptions aren’t applied to Lomachenko.

Ive said in the past i dont like lomachenkos taunts and i dont like lopez' s celebrations either.

[YOU WILL LOSE]

wow who knew Loma was such a scumbag, cant wait to see him knocked out

[boliodogs]

Taunting is equally wrong no matter who does it. Getting the KO win should be enough. After that the boxer should show sympathy and concern for his defeated and knocked out opponent.

So I wonder why Lopez gets criticized for it and Lomachenko doesn’t.

It’s not the backflip it’s the swing he does over the opponent thing that’s pretty wack

Lomachenko is just showing confidence, doe.

When teo acted like he was shoveling dirt on magda I instantly wanted to see him humbled by loma for being such a douchebag. That being said Loma is as usual being given a pass because hes white & the media darling just like ggg was when he actually hit Lemuixe after he was down & has done all manner of dirty moves over the yrs during the fight & in celebration. I personally don't have a problem with Loma or anyone doing backflips or celebrating but they are no better or worse to most the sport in this regard & its just the usual media shills who are having double standards

Clearly racist hating on Lomachenko.
