Will Loma even get credit for beating Teofimo?

[MUNG]

Teofimo Lopez will go on to achieve in the sport 'Even if he is beaten'. I fully expect him to at-least pick up a world championship belt at some point etc.

he's the current 135 IBF champ!

I have a feeling this will be just like the rigo fight, 50/50 going into the fight and then afterwards rigo magically became too old and small.

I believe that Loma wont get any credit for beating teofimo the excuses will be teofimo was "too young" "too green" "they threw him in too early".

The winner of the fight will get credit from knowledgeable and objective fans.

As for the "too young, too green" excuses, I'm sure there will also be "too old, too small" excuses from some people if Teo wins because biased critics will find fault in anything.

I happen to think that now is the best time for the fight to happen because two years ago would have been too soon for Teo and two years from now might have been too late for Loma.

teo is green there is no getting around that, depends on how his career goes too, if he goes on a good streak etc or if he is good in this fight then it will be eventually seen as a good win, if loma win's that is, which he probably will do but who know's, teo is ranked no2 in the division & has a belt so it's a good fight whatever happens but haters will never give loma credit just like happen's with lot's of top guys

If Lopez wins, my response will be similar: "Ok, good. Now, show me more." I don't regard Loma all that. It'll be a good win for Teo, that's it.

He will get credit by credible people whose opinions matter, that excludes a lot posters on this forum.

[elfag]

we seen it play out before

if lopez ends up being a force in the future they will say loma beat him super green so it doesnt count and should rematch him when hes 40.

look at canelo-floyd

^^He'll get a huge credit from me if he comes close to beating Davis. Stop crying. In the meantime, I'll just wait till he steps up his competition. Davis is fighting someone more accomplished than Lopez next.

- -Last I saw Tanksy he was pregnant by his gf one supposes.

Just think of the guys who already discredit Loma. They'll never give him his due.

Loma could win a fight by 10-11 rounds and they'll still say **** like "he struggled".

He could fight 14 world championship fights in a row and hes resume is still trash.

And the guys these guys are fans of? Aren't even close in terms of accomplishments or competition. Of course they're already ready to make excuses.

That being said I dont think it'll be competitive either. I remember when Rigo ran his mouth and Lomachenko turned up to fight. I understand Loma and where he's coming from because what he talks about doing to Teo also is pretty true in Asian culture.

Its all about respect and Lopez is one disrespectful ass. Its very much going to be like McGregor vs Khabib where Khabib is gonna break Connor and he's going to tell him that it was "just business".

I personally an concerned for Teofimo because after this fight hes going to need to be put on suicide watch. Lomachenko is going to get into that ring to end Teofimo Lopez. To make sure he's never heard from again.

If it was me thats what I'd do. Who cares about knocking this guy out. I'm about to inflict the most pain he will ever feel right now. He's talked so much that he better back it up and when he keeps coming back you keep hurting him.

Hes disrespected you. Your father. Your team. Your country. You values.

Oof. Good luck Teo

Inoue/Rodriguez comes to mind also. Rodriguez pushed Inoue's father at the weigh in, and got beat down and his ribs broken.

When you are hyped up to be the best in the world (not even close IMO), you are held to a much higher standard. Fighting a kid with 15 fights, who had done nothing (Commey was a bum), and crying for credit in the event of a win, is dishonest and distasteful. It's not like he's fighting an elite vet with 50 fights.

Because of that overhype without substance, I'll give him ZERO credit.

If Commey was a bum why was he a world champion? Are world champions bums these days and only unified champions not bums? If Loma wins he will be one of only 3 boxers fighting today who have completely unified a weight class. If you don't give him credit that is your right and your choice. Something tells me if it was Tank who beat Lopez you would give Tank a ton of credit.

In the eyes of haters, he’ll never get credit. Haters gonna hate
