Lomo

What difference does it make if blacks roots for Lomo or not. I knew a lot of juveniles commented on this site but that comment proves that these people are far beyond being classified as juveniles.

I am rooting for Teofimo Lopez, as most US Hispanics will. He isn´t well known in Latin America or in his family´s country of Honduras, because he is from the U.S. and not of Mexican background. He is from Brooklyn where Puerto Ricans are the majority. Guaranteed he will have Hispanics rooting for him...

I don't have a cheering interest in the fight. I like both of the guys. I just feel that if Loma plans to go toe to toe, he's getting put to sleep just as if Lopez tries to box, he's getting shut out 12-0

Attn: All black boxing fans who are rooting for Lomachenko in this fight please raise your hands.

Expect not a single one to step up.

I've personally never rooted for a fighter because they were black. That must be a thing you white guys do. It's new to me lol. I'm black. You can't mistake me for being white and there are only 3 fighters I hate in all of boxing today. Cripple G, Keith Thurman, and Anthony Joshua. And to the best of my knowledge, 2 of those mfers are black. You're giving Lomachenko too much popularity. The casual fan does not even know he exists. And that goes for Lopez the same. This is a big fight for us, but it's a reason this fight isn't ppv. Bob Arum is an absolutely horrible promoter. He has 2 of the best fighters in the world under him and neither of them could sell girl scout cookies to fat people outside of their hometowns.

Like Loma

Been following this game since 1970 a year before going I the Marine Corps. I roomed with a golden Glover out of Chicago who taught me a lot about the sweet science. I actually like both fighters but one thing keeps me thinking that this may be a one sided fight. As much as I like Teo in the 50 years I've been following I've seen many, many fighters just like him but Loma maybe never. I was just amazed at the footwork the side to side the shots from seemingly impossible angles etc. My fave boxer of all time is probably Sugar Ray Leonard and I've seen Loma do things that even he didn't do. I'm well aware of Teos power but this sure isn't Lomas first rodeo either. I hope this is a good fight for us fans but I have a feeling that Teo will get discouraged if he can't get him out by about the fourth round and by that time Loma will have him very figured out winning by either unanimous decision or late round stoppage..

Teofimo snr is not fighting for him. Trainers should keep their mouth shut and just focus on the white towel come fight night. He is doing all his talking now because fight night his mouth will be wide open like a fish.

I actually like Lopez but he is no where near ready. I feel Lopez gets stopped in this fight but he will come again because he is still young

Just had to ask, how do u feel about Lopez & his dad now

I always felt loma telegraphed his angles, but no one had ever used angles that way, it was something new & it overwhelmed peeps @ first, latter fighters started seeing it and turning with him, but they lacked the brain power & explosiveness to do something about it.
Then teo came....
