Lopez is just another guy who Loma will dominate and take to school. Teofimo is too one dimensional for Lomachenko. He’ll get picked apart. However, I respect his heart and bravery though.

Berchelt is right though, you can't rule out Teo finding that golden punch early on and Loma misreading it or making some other mistake. The bookies have it about right giving Teo about 3-1 against him finding it (if I'm understanding what Teo at +275 and Loma at -365 means). Interestingly, the bookies thought Rigo had a better chance than Teo.

Teo's got about 5 rounds to find that punch before the weight-cut gets to him. After 6 it will be shades of Spence/Brook and just a matter of time before Teo's corner says something is injured and he can't continue.

Duh.... all the medical bills? I'm sure he'll get KO'd just fine and go home that night embarrassed. He won't need assistance for medical treatment tho Haha

Only a boxing Morin or a blind Lomachenko fan boy would say Lopez has no chance. To most everyone's credit, I have not seen much of that.

I got Lomachenko in a wide decision, but Lopez is a talented fighter. No shock here if he tales the fight on my part.

Are you guys talking about the same Lomachenko we saw on the seat of his pants vs. a faded Linares?

Breakdown

Unfortunately no one here knows anything about boxing or combat sport. The reality is both fighters have a good chance. Loma, yes he lost to Orlando Salido. Grow up people even though Salido Was older he was way more experienced than a guy fighting in his 2nd pro fight ever. Yeah I know 396-1 as an amateur. There is a big difference in pro vs amateur, power, speed, timing. Not to mention Lima’s opponent was hitting him below the belt all night and not getting warned. He also came in way over weight after hydration. End. Result 2nd pro fight. Mayweather for his first 15 fights fought guys with not one winning record. One guy for his career was 12 - 47. As for Linares fokes, it was a flash knockdown. Prior to that Loma was schooling him. Watch the fight. The reality here is Loma is highly skilled and should be able to toy with Lopez. However, Lopez is very fast, hits like a guy that is closer to 170 and has fantastic timing dispirit what people don’t see he. Does, he times his shots. What this means is Loma is more skilled by far but he is getting older and Lopez has that punchers chance. He is not Wilder who can’t box but can just punch. Lopez can box and hits hard so it only takes 1 punch. What needs to happen is Loma needs to move in and out the entire fight and avoid the big shot to win. I believe Loma will win, however, it’s honestly a 50/50 as power here cancels skill. Want an example Wilder vs anyone. Wilder can’t box for crap. He. Has lost nearly ever round of his career yet look at his record because of power.
