        Last nights fight was a partial preview of what Lopez will look like (average to above average) against someone can take his power. When he starts facing guys with respectable power and speed, his face will look a lot worse than a "boo boo".

          I couldn't imagine him beating the current best at 140.

            Didnt look good lol. Loma beat Pedraza from pillar to post and had the taller fighter running away.Teo couldn't pressure that Japanese fighter. Pedraza was a champion not some nobody from Japan who only fought cans. Thats also with Loma coming back from shoulder surgery.

            Loma is also in his 3rd wight class can you imagine what Teo would look like in his 3rd weight class?

            Show me highlights of Teo doing anything close to this to that Japanese fighter.

              Loma beat Pedraza way more clearly than Teofimo did this guy. And Pedraza has accomplished way more than the Japanese guy has.and even Teofimo has..

                Nakatani let Lopez off the hook because he didn't press the fight after the 7th. Lopez was starting to slow down but because he wasn't being pressed that hard he got a second wind. He got away with one last night.

                  If he made it to the final bell he would of gotten the nod. Those scorecard was atrocious even though I thought he won. I'm not too down on Two but he should probably stay away from lomo though and get more experience.

                    I don't think that. Nobody KOs everybody. My knock on him was that he bragged so much when he never beat a legit high ranked boxer. Now he has a good win over a legit contender. Give him hid

                      Nakatani's length and awkwardness are being overplayed. The guy didn't fight tall. He wasn't running all night like an opponent trying to survive. Actually, his speed and skills are what troubled Lopez. e.g. accurate, purposeful jab and fluid right cross. I wouldn't call Nakatani's style "awkward" at all.

                      Basically, Lopez faced someone who was better than the level of opposition he had fought up to now. He got the win but it wasn't a dominant performance because HE'S NOT AN ELITE FIGHTER...yet. He's still more bark than bite.

                      For real, he and his pops better focus hard on Commey; and until that task is done, not mention Lomachenko again (unless he wants to sound delusional). Loma's parable about a lion dismissing the challenge of yapping little dog is on point here.
