Dadashev Vs Matias on the undercard should be fireworks.

I'd like to see Commey-Lopez confirmed as soon as possible if Lopez wins Friday. Preferably for late September/early October, about a month after Lomachenko-Campbell.

- -Good test for Teo, but if he wants to go somewhere with the greater public he needs to ditch his 2bit punk gloating over a fallen opponent.

New generation of fans, they appreciate the gloating.

Me I’m old school, that’s why I can’t stand the Charlos, Lopez’s of the world because they gloat over bums, and are pleased taking on bums.

Charlos co example call out the big names knowing no possibility of those fights happening and take on the Cota’s or Brandon Adams of the world.

I really want Lopez to beat Nakatani who Might provide a bigger challenge than expected.

After he def needs to fight Commey and may the best man win. Lopez has defensive issues, Commey has endurance issues. Both can crack. That’s a must see fight with winner take all against Loma.

Loma will dance circles around Campbell.

This fight comes at a most interesting time just as I start to warm to Lopez after an initial dislike for the guy that bordered on the irrational (his propensity for questionable victory theatrics still rubs me wrong) His sixth outing I will have seen live (as in on the night), it also feels genuinely like the first he stands a fair chance of losing. Gun to my head...Lopez ends this in characteristic sudden and brutal fashion after some lethal bodily attrition, but takes longer to do so than we've seen recently, maybe taking unprecedented punishment in the process.

Glad Friday fights are becoming a thing again!


Also, what the **** kind of nickname is “The Brooklyn??”
