Comments Thread For: Lopez: After I Beat Lomachenko, I Want Bigger Names, Bigger Fights Than Verdejo

[Silver Spear]

Teo should stay at 135 as long as possible. He's really not that big at all. When he stood next to Prograis on video he was clearly both smaller and shorter than Regis which surprised me because Regis is not a big 140 by any stretch of the imagination...

I think Lopez would struggle mightily with the bigger guys at 140, but If him and his team are adamant in moving up they'd better match him carefully basically start from the bottom and build up or he'll end up like Linares or Broner when they tried to bite off a bit more than they could chew.

Teo is already having trouble making 135 and has already talked about possibly going to 140 after Loma.

Bigger names, just not taller names.

Teo's best wins are... well.. Magdaleno and Commey. Loma's best wins are GRJ and Rigondeaux. Kind of puts things into perspective.. and explains why Loma is 3 to 1 favorite.

Teofimo has daddy issues.

That’s really the dads fault though

Author Says:

Teofimo Lopez obviously isn’t looking past Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Teofimo Says:

“After I beat Vasiliy Lomachenko on October 17th, I think that I wanna look ahead to bigger names and bigger fights.”

I then say:

Total fail in the first three paragraphs and it will cost Lopez dearly.

Sounds about BoxingScene lol

I think they will make Teofimo vs Pacquiao if he beats Loma.

Hmm does he realize that if Loma had stuck to that logic ...he wouldn't have gotten this fight.

Time to be quiet and perform.

Loma by an absolute master class. Time to humble the 2 idiots

I just watched Loma - Lopez 24/7 parts 1 and 2, and have a better perspective of their feud. It is personal it turns out that after the Lomanchenko versus Pedraza fight. Lopez's father approached Lomanchenko and either went to shake his hand. Lomanchenko says Lopez's father felt disrespected by Lomanchenko, at that point Lopez's father started talking smack. Be advised that I've seen a video where his father egged on another fighter Rolando Romero to disrespect Ryan Garcia at a boxing event. At Mayweathers gym his father was telling his son to f up Gervonta Davis in a sparring session. Lopez was doing pretty good, but someone in Mayweathers team walked over to his father, and hey what are you doing? His father quickly replied, I'm just f ing around. If he hadn't changed his tune right then, and there he might have gotten his big mouth cracked. His father is a trouble maker, and his picked up some of his bad habits. On the 24/7 video Lopez states that he's full of hatred, and anger, then at a certain point spits on the ground stating that Lomanchenko means nothing more to him then that. The boxing community is going to turn on Lopez, and his father over this type of crap. In the video Lopez starts to cry, lamenting the troubled relationship with his father. He states he loves his father, but it doesn't look like he likes his father. He says his father is to caught up with boxing, and there is nothing he can do to please him. I don't see his father remaining part of the team for to much longer.

I agree if he moves up to the 140 pound division He's definitely going to have problems. Those fighters are taller, have a longer reach, punch harder, and take a better punch. He might be having trouble making 135, but he might have even more trouble competing with all the advantages that the fighters at 140 will have over him.
