    Is Loma-Lopez similar to Mayweather-Canelo?

    Young Canelo got absolutely schooled but then came back stronger and wiser and turned his career around to become a great fighter.

    You think we got the same story on our hands?

    Young Lopez will get a master class lesson from Loma, live through the loss, rethink his life and come back stronger? Or will he fade after it?

    The only thing I can think of in terms of why Lopez may not recover from the loss is his mentally challenged dad. Canelo had a superb team behind him. Lopez seems to be on his own

      no chance in hell.

      If Lopez loses and loses in convincing fashion, which I'm sure he will, I think hes done.

      A power puncher is only as good as his confidence to land that one punch. If he can't land that punch what is he?

      Plus he doesn't have the kind of support system around him to allow him to do so. Everyone in his camp has fallen in love with his power and think its game changing stuff. It's not.

      Then consider his toxic ass dad. He limits Teofimo not only because he does his best to live through him but because in the boxing world there are levels and that applies to coaching as well.

      Its ****ing cringy to watch Lopez sr. make **** up on the fly and pretend he did it first when all he's doing is his best impression of the Lomachenkos.

      If he got with lets say, Robert Garcia and fixed some of his fundamentals and actually learned to set up shots maybe hell be more successful. Hes signed with the right promotion to make a push at 140 because sooner or later it all the titles will be vacant assuming they're unified, split up due to mandatories, or because Ramierz/Taylor move up to 147.

        yeah, I agree with you. His team is definitely his weakest link. He looked pretty lost to me on that ESPN show yesterday. But we'll see

          But Lopez Lomachenko isn’t a catchweight. Back then Canelo was starting to struggle to make 154 against Cintron. Some say Lopez having trouble to make 135 and that’s why he’s going to 140, but I think much of that is just marketing since Top Rank can try and sell him against the 140 crop. Still, this fight isn’t at 132lbs...

          And no Canelo wasn’t schooled. He was a dummy thinking he could go 12 rounds and miss against the faster and lighter fighter. Missing is a mental breakdown and hits fatigue/frustration. But “schooling” would be a ratio where Canelo was always getting hit offensively when in reality Floyd racked points by counterpunching and on his bike. Canelo’s problem was trying to box Floyd the early half, which could be said was the only way he could conserve energy going 12 rounds against Floyd. Catchweights doe.

            Canelo was absolutely schooled, what are you talking about? Floyd did every possible textbook combo on him and didn't get hit back. Canelo looked very frustrated

              If Loma was 36 like Floyd was I would pick Lopez by brutal KO. Alvatez had a 15 pound weight advantage in the ring and still couldn't do ****.
