    He is right. Hard to sell someone with difficulty speaking English.

      Loma is smart and he's pressuring Arum to not rig the fight. Arum would like to rig the Mexican to be his big franchise by stealing a decision from Loma.

      Pac wasn't smart enough to sense when Arum would rob him vs Horn and Bradley. Loma is smarter than Pac in this regard.

          * Honduran - American.

          But yeah, I don't know if that's Loma's purpose in saying this or if he's just taking an objective viewpoint, but Terfimo is American, young and a big hitter whereas Loma has maybe 2 or 3 years left at the very top level, possibly a little more if he can successfully adjust his style to allow for the inevitable slowing of his reflexes.

            I agree. I'd say Loma has about 2 years left, 3 is pushing it. In that span, he can do a number on Lopez and Davis, he would have nothing more to prove.

            Not sure I trust Arum to make Loma-Lopez next.

              The bold: Lopez is an American, whose people originate from the Honduras.

                'Is he really 10 years younger?.... It's almost like I'm at university and he still goes to school'.

                Hubris or humour I wonder? Really looking forward to this one. I expect Loma to box the snot out of Teo but I also absolutely think the kid's got a real shot here. Loma really can't get complacent with a guy with that kinda speed and ferocious power

                    Watch the first two minutes. He says he thinks lopez has a weak defense and he will exploit this. EASY WORK.
