Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Teofimo Lopez Will Eat My Punches And His Words

[buddyr]

Lomachenko had better not let this kid get in his head and go out there to engage in a war. This is not gonna end well for him. No pitty pat jabs or standing toe to toe. He can't bully this kid around. He has to fight damn near a perfect fight because Lopez throws with bad intentions when he throws. Loma can outbox him. This is no secret, but he's not gonna stand toe to toe with him. If he does, he's a fool.

What I find good about Lopez is his power and his talking. He will be taken to school and gonna get educated.

“Nobody has seen Lomachenko at 100 percent inside the ring,” insists Egis Klimas, the multi-time BWAA Manager of the Year who has guided Lomachenko’s pro career from its birth. “If Teofimo can push Loma to at least 80 percent, it means Teofimo is the best opponent Loma has faced.”

This is the ONLY time you can justify mentioning Salido...
...Because Salido gulped his beer almost dying of it hearing that nobody pushed Loma to 100%

I don't Loma said those things recently, since he arrived in the states, sounds like clips cherry picked from eight months ago. Loma is busy training currently.

Both sides are trying to hype the fight, don't take any of this talking seriously.

Teo played the game at the beginning followed his father's strategy to get noticed, but he took it to far and was called out on national tv. Loma usually let's his skills do the talking and Yes, he had a few lapses here and there as well.

This fight doesn't need to be hyped. It's probably the best fight of 2020 and 2nd place isn't even close.

Do you guys think size difference would play a role here? When a Spence comes charging at a Mikey Garcia, there is only so much you can do...

Hmmmm....the only thing is, Spence didn't come charging, he outboxed Mickey

This is gonna be a good one!

The fact that they are showing it on ESPN is wonderful! I figured they would at least go the + route.
Lopez, get your paper and supplies, because you are going to school. Let's see it happen! 1 overly exciting fan here.
Loma carries him 3 rounds, then instills Papa Chenko's war plan.

Lopez landed a lucky punch on Commey. We didn’t get to learn anything aside from what we already know he has which is power. Before that in the Nakatani fight he underperformed and had the overly hyped Timothy Bradley second guessing his prediction on Lopez winning a fight against Loma saying Lopez was exposed. There are fighters that can hang and Nakatini was one of those guys. Lopez had hit him with a straight right to the face and Nakatani took it well. To say Lopez is going to KO Loma is an overstretch of an imagination. The guy has been through it all. That’s what experience gets you and that’s what will be the key to winning this fight...experience, something Lopez lacks and will be detrimental to his offense game

I think Loma will hurt Lopez and..Teo will quit. Loma is going to punish Lopez for being a diva. Simple lika that.

I can't see that. I explained in another thread, this fight will end in one of 2 ways. Loma outboxing him like Roy Jones did James toney(the naturally bigger, harder puncher), or Lopez knocking him out late after eating punching and going back and forth like Pryor vs Arguello(Arguello was the better boxer but the naturally smaller fighter). Those are the only outcomes I see. Lopez ko or Loma decision. Loma aint knocking him out and Lopez aint outboxing him. Loma at 135 hasn't looked stellar against bigger guys. He was getting hit more than normal by campbell and linares. He can't fight that way against Lopez. And Lopez can't try to box cuz he's gonna get shut out 12-0.

I don't think it was lucky at all. It was a counterpunch he was looking for. Counterpunches aren't lucky. Lucky punches are when fighters just start throwing wildly hoping to land something and eventually do with a punch that they didn't plan. Tarver vs Jones the 2nd time wasn't a lucky punch. Mccall vs Lewis wasn't a lucky punch. Charlo vs Lubin wasn't a lucky punch. These were well placed counters.
