Comments Thread For: Pedraza: I Think Lomachenko Will Dominate Lopez, But He Can't Get Reckless

I'm one of these that believes he as to fight a perfect fight against a bigger, stronger, younger fighter. One really bad slip up and then he has to hold to clear his head, if he can do that.

I think the chance of a single hit KO is incredibly small.

Although I don't think Lopez has much chance of winning, the way I can potentially see him winning is with several meaningful hits over the course of the fight. Hits that are hard enough to destablise Loma, shake him and put him off his rhythm for a round. If he can do that three or four times in the fight, maybe even get a flash knockdown, some close rounds which swing in his favour...

That is the kind of scenario for Lopez winning that I think is the most plausible - I just don't believe anything like that will happen.

He’s not that big, really. Not even bone wise. But he’s juiced to the gills. You should see his shape coming into camp for this fight, solid muscle at 160lb’s. So he probably is the strongest guy. Also the fastest.

Even bums land punches. Give that bum some speed, the odds increase, give him some power and now he;s dangerous. Kind of the situation here.

I dont think the fastest or the strongest.

If hes weighing a lot outside the ring chances are he'll be drained by the time he hits the ring and he'll be sluggish.

That means his explosiveness, speed, and power will suffer considerably. Take a look at how big hes been in prior fights. Against Commey he was standing in the ring with Loma and didn't look near the size of the other guys.

Linares looks much bigger and more muscular than he ever has in the ring. More muscle doesn't always equal more better too.

I honestly think Lopez will want to come out swinging but a guy who isn't prepared to go 12 with Lomachenko has ZERO chance. If he's muscle bound and swinging for a couple of rounds he'll be done soon.

Lopez fights slow. He likes to pick his shots. Loma will force him to fight at a faster pace than anyone Lopez has faced and it'll drown him.

Its not just the physical toll. Loma will mentally drain him and imo hes mentally weak. He will break.
