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

Teo, if you are reading this. You stand to become the 'lineal' champion of 135. So yeah, once you KO Vasily Bumochenko inside five rounds, you will be in the history books.

All things being equal, the bigger man wins. But are all other things equal here? Maybe not . . . .

I dont get all these people and the talk regarding Lopezs "size".

Lopez is smaller than every single guy Lomachenko has faced at 135.

They also like to talk Lopez up, or Lomachenko down by saying Loma "struggled" against 135 competition.

9th round TKO
11-1 UD
4th round KO
10-2 UD

Doesn't look like someone who's struggling.

The bottom line in this fight is....Teo's hands will catch up to Loma's feet, then it's lights out for Loma...

Dude, stature, heavy hands and size doesn't win fights. Skills, power, and brains win fights. Remember Walters, LOL.

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?

He becomes the next American boxing star if he beats Lomochenko. He also wins the WBC franchise belt haha

Can’t compare the crude Walters to Lopez in skills. Lopez only chance is getting Lomochenko in the first 6 rounds after that Lomochenko wins comfortably

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.

Loma won't get sloppy in there knowing Lopez's best, not only, chance of winning is a KO/TKO. I dont think Lopez is going to go for the KO actually because he may think Loma is expecting it.

Man, I like Lopez, don't get me wrong. But I don't see Loma losing anytime soon! I think he will take Lopez to school and Teo will learn a lot from that fight! JMHO

I wouldn't even say 6. Id probably say 3. As cautious as people think Loma is going to fight hes probably not. I've watched a couple fights of Teofimo and think hes going to be heavily outclassed right from the get go.

One thing Lopez is going to struggle with is pace. Lopez likes to sit around and wait for his shots. He consistently keeps his lead arm low because he really likes his hooks, especially the leaping ones. Loma is going to be in his face every second and suffocate him.

Something people don't talk a lot about is Lomas chin. I've never seen Loma buzzed but hes taken his fair share of good shots and shook them off. I think Teofimos power is extremly overrated.

If we're talking about power and KOs Ryan Garcia has a way better argument for power and no one considers him as a heavy hitter like they do Lopez.
