Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: I Won't Take Lomachenko Fight If Fans Can't Attend

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Teofimo Lopez wants nothing more than to fight Vasiliy Lomachenko next. But if their promoter, Bob Arum, attempts to stage their lightweight title unification match without fans, Lopez won't accept it. Arum obviously wants as many fans as possible in the venue for Lomachenko-Lopez because it'll create an immeasurably better atmosphere and tickets sales would significantly increase overall revenue from the event.

I'm here just to see how people will explain how this is not a duck.

I think a lot of fighters feed off the energy of the crowd. But some fighters are laser focused on the task in front of them, and don’t hear the crowd. Mike Tyson said on a podcast that early on in his prime, he didn’t hear anything, blocked it out, just wanted to literally destroy the guy across the ring. Lomo is more of a professional. He would beat Lopez without a crowd. I don’t believe he cares about the crowd.

This kid is clearly ducking. They wont allow audiences for over a year.

Dudes a toss.
But I think that’s a fair excuse and don’t blame him

There aren’t fans in the gym. So you don’t need fans to fight. Let’s stop this nonsense right now. It’s getting ridiculous.
