Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Lomachenko Is Shook; He Feels It; He Knows What's Up

[alexjust]

It seems like Lopez jnr. and snr. are the only two people on the planet who see how "shook" Lomachenko is. Calm, collected - usual himself, but yeah..shook, very shook

The fear in Lomachenko's faced made me wonder if he pissed his pants, so my reaction was to look at his crotch to check if he soiled himself.

You are always seeing the worst, a real Debbie-Downer.

The fact that many disagree with my views, does not invalidate my opinions. I wont try to persuade anyone on accepting my truth, I am tolerant of others, unlike you Peter.

I have consistently praised fighters without having to take a shot at another fighter at the same time. You should try it sometime.

Yeah Loma isn't shook but Lopez is under his skin. Smart pregame strategy for a counter puncher.

From what I've seen so far from the promos, interviews, etc. Loma has been looking at him like he is lunch. The closer this fight gets, the more Lopez has looked more tense and unsure of himself to a certain extent. He knows he is really good, but is he as good, if not better than Loma? To be so young going up against one of the most accomplished fighters in history(amateur and pro) he has to be feeling the pressure. Even more so with the checks his old man has been writing for him. Soon we'll see if he can cash em.

of course he is feeling the pressure...win and he is a new superstar and folk will lap it up...lose...well there is an endless list to what happens next.

Don’t agree at all. I think loma is a superlative athlete. Complete. Refined since childhood to be perfectly balanced, think faster, react faster, hit faster. It’s all about speed, balance, timing and cold aggression. Personally I think Loma is the worlds best at this bar none. He’s fighting a weight class above, smaller than everyone he’s fought at 130 and he still battered all of them. Yeah Linares hit him, but let’s face it that’s one notable punch landed in how many fights?? Seriously! Only Floyd had ever bettered that. Loma,
Floyd and Roy are the best three fighters I’ve felt privileged to have seen in my lifetime. Fighters know. They see it and they know. If Lopez is going to be great it’s going to be how he reacts to a defeat that will define 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.

I read once that a prime Roy JJ had a moment when he met an old Ali and the two just play sparred for a moment or two. Roy said that even an old Ali tuned in to his movement almost straight away. Loma has the same thing. More so than Lopez by a long way. He’ll read him quicker, tune in and gradually turn up the tempo as Lopez tires by missing and break him down and stop him. Loma knows this is a career defining fight. Lopez could one day be great but this isn’t his time quite yet.

I just got the impression that Loma had spent a year away from speaking any English and was just trying to understand what was being said. Teo speaks quickly and Loma just looked like he was trying his hardest to follow the conversation.

[M111]

Press conference meant nothing to Loma other than it being an oddity. Neither does the trash talk.

Anyone else really starting to dislike these two?

By "these two" you must mean the big mouthed puto and his big mouth puto cokehead dad? Yes, fuck these two.
