Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Loma Fight Is Huge For Boxing, I'm Going To Make History

[PRchamp]

I've watched the Lopezs last 4 fights though and through and let me tell ya. Underrated is not a word that describes Teofimo.

His power? Way overrated. Im sure Luke Campbell hits harder than Lopez.

His size? All the dudes Lomachenko has fought are bigger than Lopez.

Theres nothing else people talk about because he doesn't do anything else exceptionally well.

The biggest opponent Lomochenko has faced is Luke Campbell who is 5’9 but the last 5 opponents have been 5’8 and smaller.

Lopez is 5’8 but has a bigger frame and can fight at 140. So his power can be overrated but he will be the hardest puncher Lomochenko has faced in my opinion.

Lomochenko as great as he is can get touched and if Lopez hurts him it can end the fight. The size will show once they touched gloves.

The funny thing is luke campbell is listed at 5'9 but no way in hell hes only that tall. Take a look at him stand next to Lomachenko during the face off.

If Lomachenko is 5'7" campbell looks closer to 5'11" than 5'9".

Linares was supposedly 152 the night of the fight. I doubt Lopez could manage to rehydrate to more than that.

Well just have to see

What history is he going to make?

If he was to win, then that's a great win for him, no doubt. But what is historic about it? Youngest unified honduran or something?

Hostoric for Latinos, dummy.

"He’s been off at 126, 130, and I’m going to make sure come Oct. 17 I’m going to bring him back down to 130.”

Can we proof read? This makes no sense. I am no professional writer. I am just confused why he used 130 twice.

"The Brooklyn-based Honduran Lopez Jr. is also a 2016 Olympian, but he never reached medal status."

This should say the Brooklyn-born Honduran. Teofimo is American not Honduran. His father is Honduran and I am not sure about his mother but he was born in Brooklyn which makes him an American.

Of course he is American, duh. Has Honduran heritage and of course is proud of his roots. Matter of fact, he explictly says he represents all Hispanics.

He’s going to get famous and become a star after the lost for his heart and courage. Loma is too good, too fluid and too fast for Lopez. He will outclass and outbox that kid just like Floyd did to Canelo.

Floys didn´t do anything to Canelo. If you mean hitting him with pitty-pat punches many times, hugging the moment Canelo conected, running and using illegal tectics, OK. Canelo lost because he was not used to the African-American style of Floyd, Canelo also said that Floyd´s punches didn´t hurt him at all, even letting Floyd punch with no effect. Canelo wanted a rematch after understanding the African-American atyle and Floyd said no. Maidana knew the style and beat Flot twice but was robbed.

That doesn't answer the question.

If he wins, what is historic about it?

Dalai Loma will take Teo's soul

That doesn't answer the question.

Yer but will it be Historical if Loma beats Lopez, maybe cause he unifies but the actual match up isnt historical.
Lopez sounds delusional one minute hes saying Loma is a small old man next its gonna be a historical win for him.
Lopez is in a bad head space lol.

I have no idea. I'm not aware of any kind of historical stakes here.

Lopez is like 5’6 bro. Def not 5’8. 5’8 is about Mayweather’s, height. Lomachenko is also taller than Lopez. Don’t just boxrec it, it’s highly inaccurate.
