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

This is for Loma's franchise belt too?

People trying to use Loma vs. Linares as a comparison are a bit daft; Linares is a highly experienced and proven elite level fighter, López isn't, by a long shot. The comparison to Loma vs. Campbell is equally as daft; on top of being a highly skilled boxer with that amateur pedigree, Campbell had a half foot reach advantage.

López is good, don't get me wrong. But he hasn't exactly showed anything special in regards to boxing skill. He's shown good accuracy and power...against people that haven't got anywhere near the skill that Loma has. I see Loma outboxing little Teo for the majority of the fight to take a clear UD.

Linares always been overrated with his “boxing skills”. He got stopped by journeymen and always had one of the worst chin in boxing history. Linares myth has helped our so many fighters with their resume. Case in point Luke Campbell lost a close fight with Linares so we as boxing fans think Campbell is some good fighter because he gave the overrated Linares a tough fight haha

Lopez is nothing like Linares and if they would of fought Linares would of been stretched.

Lomochenko-Lopez going to be a good fight but comparing Linares is pointless

I think Lopez wins this. There wasn't a blade of grass between Loma and Linares in their fight before the KO late on, I'm sure the judges had it split. I think Lopez causes Loma a lot of problems and knocks him out. I have £300 on it at 3-1, that's win by any method.

As noted below, you're drawing faulty conclusions.

Linares is more highly skilled and mentally focused than Teofima. By far.

Second, Loma got dropped, then proceeded to walk Linares down to a stoppage.

Even if Lopez does land a Hail Mary - which could happen but I doubt it - Loma is too crafy and intelligent.

All I know is Lomo better be on his A game and box a perfect fight. His chin is suspect. If Lomo makes 1 mistake and Lopez catches him and hurts him with 1 shot, it’s a short night because he will go in for the kill.

"Smart Great Boxer" that got befuddled by the first tall fighter he came across.

no more tall guys

Now is time to put up or shut up! Lopez has been talking a lot, good to promote the fight. Now is time to show how great of a boxer he is? Rolando Romero showed how weak he was against a second rated fighter and lost. He got a gift from the TMT family of judges. I just hope this is as good as, when a young Fernando Vargas met a very seasoned Felix Trinidad. Loma has 1 lost against a very cagey Salido who mind you came over weight, but had all the tools to defeat Loma. Lopez is not a pressure fighter as Salido. If Lopez thinks he is a better boxer than Loma they are mistaken their fight plan. Loma takes the soul of the fighters a bit at a time and makes them quit in the fight.

This guy is the total package! Lex Luger who?!

[MUNG]

teo is top 10 ATG (in his head)

[Boxing-1013]

Uh oh, that's what Canelo said too when he faced Floyd....

Loma just acknowledged in recent video interview, that it was media myth. this time he kept his money. he took a paycut from espn. and they added $ to Lopez. not sure how to call it though

Not really. "Loma taken a pay cut for his next bout in order to seal a unification with Top Rank stablemate Teofimo Lopez, according to Bob Arum."
