Hmmm, plenty of trump fodder on here I see, it’s an easy win for lomachenko, the lighter the fighter, the longer he goes but irrelevant in this one.
Loma possible but stoppage and when I say stoppage, it would by the Lopez corner. He’s pretty rough and tough but a million miles from the Ukrainian.
Loma is fackin mustard.
If loma and FMJ were the same weight, I’d pick loma on points in a clear win, there just looks like something more is there than just a defence and speed.Comment

''He’s better off at 130 or 126,” Lopez told BoxingScene.com. “I think that 135 is too heavy for him. I think that he’s too sluggish at 135. But let’s see, man. Let’s see what this whole one-year rest does for him.
“I’m a big 135 pounder. I can be fighting at 140 right now. I’m very comfortable at this weight. Everything that this man does do that they say, he’s decreasing. I’m not even in my prime yet and I’m out here just outdoing guys. He’s on his way out, and it’s showing. Your body can only take so much damage, and I guarantee you we’re going to put some damage on this man.”
“He’s on the way out of the sport and 135 is just too big ,” the Honduran-American said.
Lomachenko, 32, started his career in 2013 as a 126-pounder. Lopez, 23, has fought at 135 since he turned pro in 2016.
''I think that he's on his way out. I really do believe that and 135 is just too much of a big weight class for him''
''If you look at the Luke Campbell fight, you can see there is just a lot of wear-and-tear on his body.
“I look at it like this—maybe this whole COVID-19 year helped him out. Maybe he needed it. That way he can probably at least hang in there a little bit with me. It’s going to be a great fight. I just look at the facts. You see a fighter who has gone up in weight class. Sometimes they go up too much where their body isn’t used to it, or the weight class is too big for them.''
“This man has had over 400 fights. I have over 150 fights. I’m 23. I’m going to tell you this, when I get to camp, oh man, my body aches sometimes. If I’m 23 and dealing with stuff at this age, I can only imagine what he must be going through at 32 with over 400 fights.”
''I'm not going to have a 126 pounder come out here and try and take over on me. I'm a big guy''
“A lot of people talk very highly about him. But if you look at it, there were so many mistakes he made against Luke Campbell. Loma tries too hard to make everybody think he can still do it, even though he’s 32 years old.

You wont even get in the P4P Teo, in spite the fact that these 'experts' have Bumchenko as #1. If these boxing writers put you in the P4P list, bet that you will be placed below the 'Tart-Tomato' Josh Taylor ; like how 'Bud' Crawford is #9. on the boxingscene P4P.Comment
