Comments Thread For: Loma 'Not Impressed' With Lopez, 'Just A Couple Of Rounds'

[Dreamking]

We'll see if the age and size gap will overwhelm Loma's skill.

You're not reading between the lines. Don't take Loma's comments at face value. He is probably fighting him next. He's not going to give Lopez all kinds of accolades and say he's the next big thing. He wants to downplay his accomplishments in advance of their matchup/unification bout. I don't think Loma was being totally honest. I'm sure he was impressed but he doesn't want to admit Lopez is a legitimate threat. Personally, I'm looking forward to the fight regardless of what anyone thinks.

Loma always gets discredited for beating his opponents no matter who it is. If he gave Lopez some accolades then Loma beating him would give him credit. Difference between respecting an opponent and praising.

If the fight happens and Lopez KO’s Lomochenko we going to see the following.....

“Lomochenko too small for 135”

“Lomochenko got old overnight, those 400 amateur fights got to him”

Lopez never fought anybody like Lomochenko but Lomochenko has never fought a fighter like Lopez who isn’t old and smaller or is a couple of overrated British fighter like Campbell and Crolla. Lomochenko could go to sleep

Why you all want to see 22 years old kid who has 15 fights and is pro 3 years FIGHT against p4p top 3 guy who is in Prime has more than 400 amateur fights has double pro experience and fookin is a beast. I just dont understand... let the Young man develope more get some title defenses and then he can go fight Lomachenko.

uhhh.. he called out Lomachenko.. and he has a belt. if he aint ready to fight any/everybody, he shouldn't have challenged for a belt.

What a hater this Bumchenko is, dont be mad that the kid Teofimo Lopez won his first world-title at 22 years of age, on the first attempt against the #2. of the lightweight division.

In contrast, Bumchenko needed the help of Bob Arum to get him another shot at the VACANT WBO that Siri left behind for this old vulture -- after taking a L. Teofimo Lopez got the job done the first time.

Because they both hold belts in the same weight division, of course. There should never be more than one recognized division champion. If you're the champion, the seasoning period is over. You're expected to fight the best, or at least want to fight the best.

What the f--k are you talking about? Lopez is a WORLD CHAMPION NOW. That "develope more" crap goes out the window once you become a world champion (Ibf Champ at that).

His trainer says he's ready, the fighter says he's ready Old crooked Bob is hell bent on making this fight, probably because he needs a financial win BADLY especially after B---hing about the inability to sell tickets.

It's a 50/50 unification fight. Why the hell wouldn't we as fans want to see it? Fans like you are the reason we don't get the fights we want when we want them these days.

Moron...

Why do you want to see a guy who is holding a world title not fight the best?

Why do we wanna see it? Let's see...

1. He just won a world title by blowing out a guy who has been in the Ring magazine top 5 at 135 since 2015

2. We don't wanna see him wait for Loma to start slipping like Canelo waited for GGG

3. If you're a world titlist you should rightly be expected to face every and anyone in your division

4. Lopez believes he can win and we are happy to see him dare to be great

5. Knocking out the Mason Menards of the world in the first round and doing backflips afterward for the next three years won't help him develop.
