Teofimo Lopez vs Richard Commey will be interesting

[BoxingIsGreat]

Then why move up? If Commey is an easy scalp then it's on to Loma. Isn't that the goal?

No, because the guy is killing himself to make 135. Loma could've fought him instead of that bum Crolla.

There's always the one guy defending, with a horrible score card in hand...

No he couldn't have. Crolla was a mandatory. Why would he drop his title to fight a prospect?

and two things, Lopez just basically said he's garbage against tall fighters and will be ducking tall guys going forward. Taylor, Hooker, Ramerez. 3 of the top 4 guys at 140 are 5'10 or 5'11 so moving up isn't in his best interests.

secondly, Crolla is ranked higher than Nakatani, who Lopez just admittedly struggled against. So...complete the sentence "If Crolla is a bum..."

Teofimo looked underwhelming tonight, but we all need to remember that many of these Japanese dudes have nonstop will and toughness. Add to that the guy being tall, awkward and rangy and it can make a guy look underwhelming.


Lopez vs Commey is a good fight. I give the edge to Lopez. Commey is strong, but talent will prevail.

talent and chin! lopez hasn't faced a good power puncher like comey who's also relentless. lopez seems to have power but the guys he knocked out were'nt any good or they were old and washed up. for me this fight with comey will answer the questions that have I have regarding just how good lopez is bob is making the fight for the fall so we won't have to wait long.

nonsense!! what has lopez done to get a shot loma's belts? crolla was a world champion he's proved more than lopez. lopez is a prospect he's green as ***! his fight with nakatani proved it. you are rating lopez based on his potential not anything he's actually done. lopez will fight comey next then we'll see how good he is
