Loma/Lopez: Here's my confidence. Everyone is removed from my ignore.

I do think this format of no crowds helps Teo. He's put an immense amount of pressure on himself and not having a pro-Lomachenko crowd helps him.Comment

Running over Commey is no more a measure of Lopez's chances of winning than Tank running over Pedraza, for the same reason.
Nobody would say that Tank steamrolls Loma just based on the Pedraza outcome. In fact tons of people here called Tank a bum and that the win was overrated. So why doesn't the same standard apply to Lopez?
Puncher's chance? Absolutely.
I really don't think it will matter for his success. If anything it means he can't rely on his fans cheering him on to help him avoid a lapse in emotional judgment. Loma might actually fight better without a crowd - him getting hit by Linares may have been him being affected by the crowd. We just don't know.Last edited by Combat Talk Radio; 10-13-2020, 06:27 PM.Comment

I dunno, I think it will be very interesting to see how all big fights adjust to this crowdless/reduced crowd atmosphere and likewise when we get back to having 50% or more crowds how fighters will have to re-adjust to having a roaring audience again.I really don't think it will matter for his success.

Personally?
Ricky Hatton, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua would probably not perform as well without fans chanting.
If Hatton in particular were still fighting and couldn't have that fight chant, he'd probably put in the contract to have the fake noise piped into the arena to help him.Comment

This is an interesting observation. Loma has way more big fight experience than Lopez, which could work in his favour. But will Sat feel like a big fight, with no crowd in attendance? Absence of the usual big fight atmosphere, which is partly generated by the crowd, could help Teo handle the occasion better.Comment

His "tight" fight with Linares was only on the judges' cards, in actual, fact Lomachenko showed far superior skills in getting to a much taller, heavier, longer reach 3 div champion with a 70% KO record. As for Campbell, he was just like Linares, except that Lomachenko won EVERY round, and Campbell's "tight" attribute was in staying the full 12 rounds, under heavy incoming circumstances.
It's all very well to have a good imagination-if you're a ki4, sneaking home at 3 a.m when you should have been in bed at 10.30, or a story-teller, writer, or inventor, but on this site, talking SERIOUS boxing, we should stick to facts.Comment

Loma should win this fight 8 or 9 out of 10 times. But he is somewhat vulnerable at 135, or he was. My guess is he has settled into the weight a bit now and will be more prepared than he was vs Linares. But Teo is explosive. Will be interested to see how neutralized Teo is early, if at all.Running over Commey is no more a measure of Lopez's chances of winning than Tank running over Pedraza, for the same reason.

Linares wasn't neutralized really at all for the first half, and Loma had to take chances to get his shots off, and as a result got dropped. It's really an interesting fight with Teo and Loma because we really don't know what Teo's level is yet and if that explosiveness will be enough vs an older, much superior, boxer.Comment
