Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Lopez Talks Too Much - If You Insult Me, Prepare For Pain

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Vasiliy Lomachenko has so far conceded the bout in regard to the back-and-forth banter required to promote his fight against Teofimo Lopez Jr. Ahead of their lightweight unification match Oct. 17 from the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas on ESPN, Lopez Jr. (15-0, 12 KOs) has been the one who's laid a verbal lashing on Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs).

Seen them both in the flesh . We all know about Lomo and have I have to go with that proven pick but Lopez is a fast and very hard hitter. And he's full of it, thinks he can't be beat .Makes for a great fight. Can't believe the idiots at sky and the other networks are to date refusing to pick it up. Looking at what rubbish Sky PPV have lined up with a prospects fight top of the bill and PPv this is doing the boxing fans a true injustice.

It’s very disappointing that British TV haven’t picked it up. Hearn said it’s because they have a tight budget for the rest of the year and picking up international fights might not be possible. Understandable but still crap.

Hopefully somebody does though it’s the best fight i between now and the end of the year.

Anyway I really like the fight. I like the fact Lopez clearly believes he can win where as most Loma opponents just hope to be somewhat competitive and raise their stock.

The way Lopez has been talking lately sounds like false bravado. He knows he has never seen anybody like Loma and is trying to convince himself that he can do this(which with his skills and talent I believe is possible). Feel like he might really be shaking on the inside.

Lopez has succeeded on what he wanted to do and that was win the psychological warfare battle. He’s gotten Loma to do what he never does and that’s reply to trash talking. López is in his head.

Not at all. He’s winning the psychological battle and has gotten into Loma’s head.

i think he will. loma hasnt fought someone this fast that has the size since linares and i dont think lopez got linares chin. its gonna be a very fast pace fight which sometimes you can see some dents in the armor for loma. he likes to set the pace to take away from his opponents but guys who are willing to match that pace tend to have gotten some leather on him. i think lopez has the gas tank to take him into the late rounds and catch him on a flash KD and go for the stoppage.
