Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Lopez: We'll Compare Our Skill, Our Level, In The Ring

[whollisboxing]

What IQ has Lopez possessed or even needed with the opponents he has faced? I saw zero IQ against Nakatani.. He has decent speed but not frightening speed. He is very easy to hit . He has power but this is not the heavyweights. He will have to box and really impose himself. He will not hit. Loma clean. You. Said he is scary, in what sense? I actually love the s#hit talking but for me that’s all he does is talk. 3 years ago he was deriding rigondeaux skills by saying he only has a left hand. At that stage he was not even fighting D level fighters

I expect Teo to hunt for a big counter right hand or uppercut while Loma piles up points by poking and stabbing from the outside. If Loma gets overconfident showing off then he could get caught with one of those shots. With that being said, I think he will be locked in and at some point Teo will have to open up and come after Loma like a savage. When that happens, I see Loma turning him and selectively digging to the body. I'm predicting a UD for Loma because I think Teo's pride will help him go the distance.

Of course there is always a chance that Teo could land something big (especially early) to end the night but I have to go with the guy who has more ways to win. That guy is Loma for me but either way I can't wait for the fight.

This is going to interfere with MLB and college football, so it’s unlikely to deliver strong ratings

I'm a big baseball fan, but odds are the Rays will have finished off the Astros before this weekend, and it looks as if the Braves may take down Atlanta before Saturday as well. Even if they don't that'll be an afternoon game.

Odds are, no baseball to compete with

And Gay originally meant happy/gleeful and the swastika was originally a symbol of good and *** means cigarette yet that does not change the fact that most of society prefers to use its newer meaning and regardless if Rosario himself uses it. It is still seen as a symbol of racism when depicted with a black/African person. That would be like using the N word and claiming it is fine to use because the person you are directing it towards also uses it.

Thanks for the PC lecture Dontae. I subscribed to your Youtube channel, love the beats you use for your vids btw.

I like both but when Lopez spit on the floor and said thats what I think of Lomachenko. I said this is low gutter ****** classes trash so I hope Lomachenko batters this fool into a no mas sitting on his stool refusing to come out for the next round

A few years back his dad started screaming at Loma and acting a fool at a nice hotel. Both classless.

Go Loma 1!

My sigs bring me good luck, did you like my Mell Charlo signature? WHO was laughing then?

You say Vasily Bumochenko fought Orlando Salidoe in his first pro-fight? You are worse than ESPN when they tried to erase Lomachenko's loss on their graphics.

Edit: Who fights Salido in their 2nd pro fight? (My keyboard was faulty)
Answer: No one.
Thank you.

Whats so great about beating Orlando Salidoe? Hes horrible, thats why the bookies favored the 1-0 Bumochenko.

Win or lose vs Salido it's saying: Credit where it's due. Starting at Mid to High level calibre opponents isn't something most Olympians do. Most of them fight 15 - 20 bums before fighting a guy with a pulse but Loma TO HIS CREDIT took much deeper professional baby-steps.
And I don't care if Lopez shocks him. Taylor smokes em both on the same night before putting on his sharpest suit and heading out to the Edinburgh nightclubs where he is GREAT PALS with the Asian bouncers who RESPECT Josh greatly

Teo's kinda got a Rocky thing going on. Everyone one loves an underdog. I may bet on him.

Lopez has not gotten under Loma's skin. Loma has a lot of ring experience. This is not his first rodeo. This is Lopez's first rodeo. I still want Lopez to win though. I believe Loma is very overrated. He's a great fighter, but he is not the best we've seen. I'm tired of that narrative. I believe Loma is the better boxer, and can win on points or by knockout. I believe Lopez is the stronger fighter and can only win by knockout. He can beat Loma if he paces himself, but throw very hard punches on occasion. He's going to have to gain Loma's respect early and often. He's gotta punch to ko. Hopefully, he won't waste too much energy early though. Because if he gets tired, he will be a dead duck. Loma has a relentless head to body combo attack....that can destroy most opponents. Lopez needs to be quiet though. His big mouth is gonna add pressure on himself, that he doesn't need. If he is too ****y, and lose in embarrassingly fashion, I do not believe he'll be able to recover from such "a foot in the mouth" loss.
