You do realize that Teofimo Lopez is being cashed out, right?

[flipbjefrox]

I’m hyped for this fight watching ESPN pre fight right now

[FeFist]

We've been conditioned go accept mismatches that when a fighter takes on a challenge, it is regarded as being cashed out.

[NYG]

Win-win for him, that's why he's taking the fight. He loses, he's supposed to but at least he fought him. He wins, superstar.

[Eff Pandas]

I'm one of the guys on here who says that losses don't matter, it's how you recover from them that matters, but most people don't share my sentiment. How many people on here don't think Loma should be in the top 5 because of an L?

And yeah, Rigo got that Old Man Face that Ortiz and Payano have. Came out the womb with a cigarette and a drivers license.

Too many mfers think goofy bs like that.

I do think losses matter. At least in the moment. They say you aren't as good as this other guy...today. But that's all they say especially for a pre-prime guy with a decade left in the game til he's post-prime like Teo.

What they don't say is what many fans love suggesting they say which is "you're a bum", "you'll never be top 5" & other dumb ass sh^t like that.

It's a win win.... If he lose it won't hurt his career at all... Just a lil pitstop

[TMLT87]

You cant cash out a 23 year old. If he loses he has years to rebuild. 4-5 years from now he would reach whats generally considered prime years while Loma is either retired or has visibly declined enough that many people would believe the rematch goes differently. Its actually quite a low risk/high reward fight for Lopez at this stage in his career.

[patron]

Loma is not Floyd and losing to him or even winning (Salido) hasn't made anyone a star. He himself isn't currently a star. That's the overhyped part of him. It's the end for Mr. Lopez.

Something tells me a star was born.

[Ctx94]

I wouldn’t call it being cashed out but this is the kind of thing TR does.

Lopez can’t make 135 anymore, Loma is probably not going to 140or 147 unless he can make $20 mil.

This fight is win win for TR. if Loma wins as expected, he gets a big win over a top LW and clears the way for the Haney and Tank fights. Lose and he still had those fights for belts vacated by Lopez when he goes up.

Lopez wins he’s the next star in the sport. He goes to 140 with a huge rep. Lose and he lost to one of the best I in the world and he goes back and builds himself back.


This is smart business by TR. It’s how they’ve stayed at the top of the game for almost 50 years.

The only downside is of Lopez gets whitewashed like Canelo did to Floyd or he gets beat down like Chavez did Meldrick Taylor..

If Lopez stays hungry and focused he will be ok as long as he don’t get lazy

[BoxingIsGreat]

Something tells me a star was born.

Nah. Where are the threads about the new star? It's going exactly as I predicted. There aren't even threads about a big upset. It's business as usual, except for Low-Tech fans getting ****ted on left and right.

[buddyr]

He's cashing out, and his promoters are cashing out.

He already knows he can't make 135lbs anymore and he'll move up to 140.

Mr."No More Tall Fighters" Lopez will move up to 140lb in which he won't have any clear advantages over any fighter.

There are some taller, bigger fighters in that weight class.

He knows himself he'll lose in that division. His promoter knows it.

It's time to cash out and move up for Mr No More Tall Fighters.

Something tells me a star was born.

Lol. I love these threads
