Did a Green Teofimo Lopez Just Beat Vasiliy Lomachenko?

That boy green as hell, 15 fights, no big names. Took loma to school

[Combat Talk Radio]

Canelo had tons more experience than Teo. The more I'm think about this the worse this loss is for Loma.

Nobody had Teo anywhere near their top 10 p4p rankings and Teo just beat the #1 p4p fighter. He didn't land some lucky punch and KO him. He out boxed him.

Now wait a minute.

When did Teofimo Lopez beat Terence Crawford?

He's the very definition of green. It's an embarrassing loss.

He's the vey definition of green. It's an embarrassing loss.

And as Teo gets better this loss is going to be even more embarrassing that he lost to this version of Teofimo.

I certainly do which makes the loss even more mind boggling.

And as Teo gets better this loss is going to be even more embarrassing that he lost to this version of Teofimo.

And the worse case scenario could be that Teo loses to somebody else which is very likely. Let's not forget he's a few fights removed from going to war with an unknown Japanese guy and contemplating retirement.

Loma needs to use all his pull to get an immediate rematch, there is no way he can live down losing to old Salido and green ass Lopez without rematching either.

Loma was an overrated and overhyped POS. Some bumchenko should be allowed now. I knew all about it. You NSB experts DKSAB. That Fitz something Boxingscene 'journalist' guy must feel like a piece of trash now.

Lopez still stays at B level in my ratings.

That's too simplistic of a way too look at it.

It seems to me it was a perfect storm, or probably just a good storm to be less dramatic, of a quality young fighter with maybe HOF potential with a good strategic plan coming upon a proven HOF level fighter on the beginning of his downside at a weight he's been showing himself to be less unbeatable at than previous weights & giving him a 2nd place trophy in the ring for only the 3rd time in his whole fighting life.

Last week I was saying here that it’s a ****** logic to think a guy is going to lose a fight because he’s “never fought at that level” - Every fighter that becomes an elite fighter has been at the point where they never fought at the elite level until they do and then they win.

No doubt. I think Teo was being discounted by too many before the fight for largely this simple reason. They weren't looking at Teo's potential. They weren't looking at the ch^nks in Loma's armour in recent fights that were exploitable.

Not green whatsoever...

He was a fully established world champion who displayed poise, maturity and patience in an elite level fight.

You can’t be a green world champion IMO. A green fighter is a 5 fight novice from my perspective.
