Comments Thread For: Lopez: The Reign Of Lomachenko, The Little Diva, Is Coming To An End

[megh50]

I can't believe people are underestimating Loma given his body of work and inflating Teo's chance at victory. Teo's speed and power can be neutralized by timing and great footwork and Loma has that in abundance coupled with the fact that he is a southpaw. Teo has a small chance of victory and it depends on whether his explosiveness can give him the opportunity to land something big.

I can picture Lopez's face seriously bruised and his braggadocio deflated after seven/eight rounds or so.

There is a saying attributed to Buddha that goes: When the student (Teo) is ready, the teacher (Loma) will appear. Lopez is talented but Lomachenko gona school him big time.

If Lopez works behind the jab and can neutralize Loma's footwork, he has a very good chance to take all of the belts.

I expect Loma to win but with Lopez hunger, I won't be shocked if he pulls off the upset. At the very least puts up a better fight than all the prior Loma opponents who decided to pull a no mas.

Considering the fight threatening stunt he pulled, he must be grossly unaware of himself to call another a diva

I know he takes punches in the head for a living, but come on..

So being smart negotiating rather than taking the 1st offer is a stunt to those with egg on their face who were calling him names & pretending they're smart businessman....?

Lopez might win but you left out something. When equal speed and one fighter with superior experience meets another fighter with superior power, anything can happen. Lom uses angles and is a debilitating body puncher. That's why this is THE best match up of the year.

Agree, Loma's body work is damaging, once he gets caught with a Lopez devastating counter punch, he'll think again (if he stays awake) about working Lopez's body... I'm envisioning Lopez expecting, waiting, anticipating early body work just to time/catch Loma with something huge!

Pot meet kettle!

Lopez reign will be short. Wrong move here. Should've build up his name and resume. Gonna be cut short now. Lomachenko will ruin this kid. He's still green.

If Lom doesn't get caught, it will be because he uses angles and knows how to adapt to the bigger fighter.
