Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: I'm Not Only A Power Puncher; I'm Also Smart, A Great Boxer

[Combat Talk Radio]

Good post. That's his chance.

However, I want him to fight more like Maidana against Floyd. Maidana showed no respect, and that was key. Everytime I analyze this fight, Maidana shows up for Lopez. No spacing or a chance to think for Loma.

See if you can get away with some low blows, headbutts, or the occasional elbow, without the ref seeing. It's a fight. Loma himself is a dirty fighter: Punching down behind the head and spinning opponents are some examples. Be careful.

Damn dude, you already got your excuses ready, a week before the fight.

lomachenko is smarter and a more powerful puncher. this punk will soon find out.

[daggum]

i would say lomo is more reminiscent of the victor ortiz mentality

based on what? that literally makes no sense. hes not even young so him saying im young i dont deserve this doesnt make any sense. also in his toughest fight agaisnt salido he came back to win the last 2 rounds and almost stop salido so that doesnt show much quit in him. also when he got droppd against linares he came back and stopped linares a couple rounds later. im going to chock this post up to some trump like steroid effects

Bro if your so confident in Loma winning why dont you put 10k on it like Showbiz.
I think Loma is going to win and have bet accordingly.
How bout you?

I am sure Loma is just going to stand there waiting to be hit.

Yeap, that is how reality works.

Loma TKO 11

Loma has been getting hit a lot since he moved to 135. Both Linares and Campbell landed lots of clean shots on Loma.

He is hittable.

And Teofimo packs more power than both of those guys.

Victor Ortiz was also "young and still growing and developing" when he fought Chino. We saw what happened. Hell, Lopez might cut the same interview.

"Something inside me told me I could knock him out"

"I usually keep composed"

"I fought really dumb"

"I'm young, I don't deserve to get beat up like this"

"there's only so much (ass whooping) you can handle"

Bro, there are no absolutes in life. Just because Ortiz didn't grow doesnt mean Teofimo won't.

Teofimo is not Ortiz. Its a completely different person with completely different mentors and trainers.

Anyway, these arguments are pointless. Fight is literally days away now.

The ring is the only truth machine. We'll learn everything we need to learn on Saturday night.

Collect what? I'm basically telling you I don't care who loses. 50/50 means I expect for either to lose. I'm not a gambler.

I will root for Lopez, tho, and want him to win. Not invested in either fighter much.

Of course you do. You don't want Loma anywhere near Davis. Don't worry, Davis won't fight him. You're safe.

I don't think Ortiz talked as much ****** **** as Lopez has. When a fighter like Lopez loses, his career is pretty much over. Lopez has acted like a complete idiot. He's going to get his ass whipped.

the way he cried like a little when he lost that amateur match.
and the way he gave up mentally for most of the fight against that mexican bum.

and his pre-ducking of the pacman

We've seen time and again that young fighters who get a big head before really achieving anything significant, get exposed.

I don't know at what point you people will start learning from the lessons of history.

FFS, if Michael Spinks and Frank Bruno couldn't teach the lesson by now, I just...
