Is Lopez ducking Loma?

[RetroSpeed05]

Says he wont fight without fans. Loma said he has no problem fighting without fans.


In his interview with sirus xm

“That wouldn’t happen,” Lopez boldly asserted. “I wouldn’t, I won’t accept the fight if that was the case.”

But what if no crowds are going to gather for a long spell?

“It ain’t the same without the fans, man. If you got LeBron out there saying that as well, it ain’t the same…That makes NY and MSG a place I love…because you ain’t gonna get that energy anywhere else…That makes it that much more fun, it’s a drug I’m addicted to, it’s pretty much considered a sparring match. Yeah, I’d turn it down. Everything I do for the fans,” Lopez declared. “I devote everything for the fans, so it’s gotta be done with the fans.”

More fans watch on TV than in the arena. Let him piss off with that tosh.

But...the fans would want to watch you, even if it's on T.V. Lame excuse.

No it’s not lame, he’s a young kid and this is the most important fight of his life. He wants to see how big he really is, I ain’t mad.

[Slapsie Maxsie]

Probably does not matter anyway. Every day this stretches out, the harder for him to make the weight.

[Outwest Exp 355]

When he gets a real offer and see’s those 0’s he’ll be singing a different toon.

[a.rihn]

I can't blame fighters for not getting excited at the prospect of fighting in a vacuum. I expect tunes will change once real offers start (or other fighters start fighting again).

[4truth]

Nope, unless you think everyone is ducking everyone or that Lopez and the Chinese are in league with each other.

[Monzon99]

Lopez found his escape hatch. If he truly believes he will win he should go on with the fight regardless. He should be eager to dethrone the king and become the new king. Lopez knows he will get koed and found his way to duck out.

Notch another forfeit win on the Loma belt, just like davis, haney, leo, broner.

I think it’s a pretty fair excuse.
I vote not ducking (at least not based on that reason)
