And to Teofimo Lopez Jr.I say, "expectation and surprise". Want an excellent example of expectation and surprise? Try Fury vs Wilder II. Whatever Wilder had thought Fury was bringing to the rematch, he certainly did not expect what he got (from Fury).

Nobody expected loaded gloves and one looks like brass knuckles.... Now if he Can't do that same exact thing and show that same power in the trilogy then oops..... Wilder shouldn't see the 3rd rd..... Agreed.

Well, I mean Mitch 'Blood' Green did take prime Tyson the full distance, so

So...nothing lol Mike Tyson was a formidable puncher and Lomachenko can fight off the back foot. There's no dis*****g either of those facts.

[Rusty Tromboni]

Loma’s weaknesses is that his defensive diligence drops significantly if he thinks he has total control.

Yeah. He has the same tendency Dempsey had, once he feels he's on his way to a clear victory he starts his victory lap. Fury did it, too, in his first fight with Wilder - TWICE!

I do worry, sincerely, that Loma could get too comfortable in there, especially since he's likely to start running away with this fight. Lopez is big and roided out, until he's counted out he's always just one punch away from winning this fight.

oh we need a change, hope Lopez wins, he is sexy, exciting young prospect...lol. this hidden hate towards Loma is funny

Lopez would clearly turn into a diva too. You just know it.

Nobody says he is the greatest of all time. Ali is said to be the GOAT, but there is no widely-spread opinion that Lomachenko is the GOAT. Probably one of, but that still remains to be seen when we talk about professional ring. When it come to amateurs - yes, he is probably the greatest amateur boxer of all time going by his record. Its silly to dispute this, isn't it? Its just in the numbers and titles.

And there is one thing, which is also entirely undisputable - he is viewed by every (don't come up with 2 examples to dispute "every") professional boxer, trainer, boxing professional as one of the most skillful boxers of our time. The same high praise comes from all of his opponents - none were dis*****g their losses or said Loma wasn't the best they ever faced. And he's got names on his resume, you know. I don't think, these things are accidental. Facts, context are hard to ignore, unless you close your eyes, ears and scream: "bla-bla-bla-bla".

Why would you bring race into this?

[Jab jab boom]

Talk to me about Loma's diva behaviour. Fights anyone, respectful, dropped significant part of his purse to accommodate the new reality and to make a fight happen. You confused Loma with Canelo.

I wasn't speaking specifically about Loma, I was speaking in general about many of the top names in the sport. Such as a Canelo, Wilder, AJ, the whole spence and Crawford nonsense..etc

[Biolink]

I agree with him to an extent, but you've gotta have the skills to exploit it. Loma owns every inch of the squared circle, hes not gonna let himself get easily backed up.
