Teofimo Lopez will lose by KO/TKO

[darius45]

For starters, there's no way Lopez can beat Loma on points... Lomachenko is WAY too active and point oriented in his approach.

The longer this fight goes without a knockout, the more desperate Lopez is going to get for a knockout as he will inevitably be down on points... But Lopez doesn't strike me a guy who will be content to just survive like a lot of other fighters Loma has taken to the distance... He's going to be banking on his explosiveness/speed and power throughout the fight, and constantly trying to catch Loma with something... I don't see Lopez letting off the gas at any point...

If Loma manages to really figure out Lopez as well, it's going to make Lopez that more frustrated and willing to take dangerous risks...

It will come down to the more skillful fighter (Loma) who is also very fast and strong, catching the young hungry lion as he comes in trying something reckless... Don't forget, when Lomachenko got knocked down in his last fight, he immediately changed gears and turned up his level of intensity... A a fired up Lomachenko has more tools in his arsenal than a fired up Lopez

Of course, Lopez COULD catch Lomachenko with something too... But I see the IQ of Loma prevailing here...Either way, I don't see how this fight could possibly not end in a KO

Loma gets hit too much. Loma hasn't looked that dominant lately. If he fights Lopez the way he's fought Linares and Campbell, Lopez will catch him and drop him. Loma has skills but it looks likes he's on the decline.

Tend to agree it ends in a KO one way or the other.

Loma has skills but it looks likes he's on the decline.

Tend to agree with this too. Loma has been & still is a bad mfer, but there has been natural decline &/or some drop back to reality as he's moved up in weight. That makes me see Teofimo as a more live dog than most are in this fight.

[Mister Wolf]

No shame in that. He is young enough to bounce back. Azumah Nelson bounced back.

teo is not a tall guy and loma i think will find that comforting in the ring, maybe im wrong, but teo is fast with power so if he can make loma fight his fight he could do very well but he may not have the ring smarts being hte young guy as yet to pull that off, loma is proven and i would put money on him if i was a gambler, super fight really and both guys are really ambitious and it shows

[Larry the boss]

Well we will have to wait until the fight happens to find out

[Tatabanya]

No shame in that. He is young enough to bounce back. Azumah Nelson bounced back.

Not a good comparison in terms of seriousness and overall value.

Azumah Nelson was a humble, focused champion, and is an ATG.

Hot head Lopez - especially if he loses to Lomachenko - will become a footnote sooner than we think.

In some interviews Loma vowed to give Lopez a beating and to shut Lopez Sr. mouth. I cant wait for this fight.

[just the facts]

I think Lopez has talked his way into a lot of people thinking that he’s better than he is. I’ll take Loma by late stoppage.
