Comments Thread For: Lopez Sr: Loma Won't Last 6 Rounds; Won't Be Surprised If Legs Twitch Like Menard's

[YoungManRumble]

I like how Sr. says that Loma will probably be twitching on the canvas but he doesn't want to see anyone get hurt? Yeah okay

Excellent fighter. Up there p4p wise but I don't feel he has a great resume personally.

He's very skilled and has a unique style which I feel tends to get really over-analysed. I don't think its as complex as it appears I think his movement and slips especially are quite predictable that said I don't feel Lopez is the one too pull it off and its nothing to do with a lack of experience, age, competition. I simply don't think he has the tools for the job unless Lomachenko fights uncharacteristically ****** and stands in front of him or walks straight onto a right hand which is all I really feel Lopez has.

I feel the same way. He's very good but watching him against some of his opposition makes me think he's not as unbeatable as some people may believe.

I would imagine 135lb Pac or Mayweather would have done significantly better against Campbell for example

I think I saw Loma look a little stunned by a body shot once.

Can anyone else recall another time in any pro fight?

Don't say when Linares dropped him. He popped right back up and was not close to being hurt.

Pretty sure Salido hurt him - he winced quite a few times when he got hit in the nuts, other than that, no.

Fighters will do better against common opponents because Loma for all his technical brilliance isn't a very big puncher though I see and agree with that. I don't see any signs of him slowing or being too small at the weight (A lot will disagree while not as big as some I don't feel he is particularly undersized). I feel more fighters are starting too figure him out.

When you're the top guy and held in such high regard, everyone starts studying you harder.

He's beatable. He's very good and very difficult to beat but he's certainly not unbeatable or close to the best ever. I hate this kind of talk especially when his resume isn't the best but I won't argue with anyone claiming he's the best amateur ever. I just think there are certain things he isn't getting away with like he could in the amateurs.

i just heard on a top rank video (you can check it on their youtube channel) that teo thinks loma can't fight going backwards and that his footwork ain't that good, that is all an illusion, hope he doesn't mean that. if he trully believes that, then tomorrow night he is gonna get schoolled badly, real bad.

I felt Linares actually buzzed him on a couple of occasions though he hid it well.

He hit Loma with a good counter right hand in the fourth that stiffened his legs.

[Citizen Koba]

No I have not? But since you speak highly of him he's on my radar now.

Berlanga? Yeah one to keep an eye on for sure.

What I dont get is people saying Lopez is so big and possess so much power.

Anyone can knock out low level opposition and youre expected to. Luke Campbell and Linares are not light punchers nor are they small guys.

I doubt Teofimo punches harder than they do and if he does its because he consistently over commits on his shots.

ANYONE could knock out anyone if they loaded their shots up and threw them at a stationary target.

Could he land? Sure. But boxing history has always shown us time and time again that the better boxer is the betting favorite and the difference in skill is HUGE.

Aka Fury/Wilder and Lopez doesnt posses near the kind of equalizer Wilder has.

I agree with most of what you said but he does have naturally heavy hands and technically, he is bigger than Loma. I think Loma is night and day better but Teo does have an outright base power advantage. I don't know many who would dispute that.

True. I forgot about that.

Not bad! I'll be sure to keep an eye on him.
