    Arum states; Lomachenko's father match made Lopez vs Commey because...

    Top Rank initially wanted to make Campbell Lopez but Loma's father thought Teofimo would have a bigger chance of Losing to Campbell,and would have a better shot winning against Commey

    not entirely untrue given Lopez's problems with Nakatani and Campbell's huge too but with better boxing IQ and technique

          Oh boy so now Lomo’s Dad is a matchmaker for Top Recycle?

          I don’t think Campbell can take Lopez punches even with a height and reach advantage.

              Why not who knows,Nakatani could,
              i don't think he's a matchmaker but the Teo fight is personal, they really want that fight

                Nakatani was able to take Lopez punches, though...

                  Lopez and his father were bigging Campbell up before the match. They usually talk ***** about sparing partners like saying he beat up Haney and Davis when they sparred. But with Campbell they were saying how good he is and saying Campbell has power.

                    Commey has a better shot at beating Teofimo than Campbell.
