Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Loma Can't Fight Backwards; We're Going To Push Him!

[R-Hand Southpaw]

He's been getting touched alot here lately but people ignore this tho......

Getting touched more at 135 has nothing to do with him having a significant decline.

The reason why he's being touched more at is because he's facing taller longer opponents who have who use significant size advantage to brawl with Lomachenko.

Consequensly Lomachenko has changed his style to accommodate this by adapting a more brawler like style.

Lopez is a fool for thinking "Mexican style" is going to work. Loma prefers you come forward.

I don't see him struggling with all types of aggressive guys, but in the past we have seen high skilled boxers have problems with opponents who come at them in way that doesn't give them the time, space to work their magic. Salido did it to Loma. But Lopez has never fought that way, he says himself that he picks his punches more carefully than that

[Marvlus Marv]

If Lopez loses and loses big then he'll probably go into hiding after all this badazz talk he's firing off.

I'd be lmao when the reverse happens. haha.

[Dean_Razorback]

I've been saying this for a while. Lomachenko shells up too much when getting pushed backwards. Gary Russel Jr and Salido exposed this.

i get the salido reference, after all he won that fight (a very close one) but gary russel jr? really? the guy that lost every single second of that fight?

[deathofaclown]

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

That’s why I like this fight because Lopez looks like the kind of fighter where you can’t switch off for a second, or he can catch you.

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.

My point is, anyone can find that ONE fight that proves their stance.

I'm sure people here on NSB can find that ONE Loma fight where he struggled on the backfoot. Salido, most likely.

He won't need to fight going backwards, pay attention folks, its a game called circling. Instead of the drop back, he circles his opponents, especially when they first get in the ring bc they are trying to chop his head off. He uses their own leverage against them. After that happens 10 or 12 times they stop trying to throw their hard shots bc they know whats happening afterwards, then they get drawn into a chest game which usually ends in Loma's favor. Just one mans observation.

You seriously think Lopez hasn't made this same observation. Everyone(I know this is self defeating, but I'm still gonna say it) knows Loma is a master of angles including lopez
