Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Gervonta Davis, Why You Fighting Leo Santa Cruz? That's Sad, Man

[Clegg]

How the hell is Lopez gonna say something about Tank fighting LSC at 130. He just fought Lomo that started out at 126. I mean obviously there is a difference skill wise between Lomo and LSC but it's the pot calling the kettle black on that one. Maybe we can get Tank vs Lopez early next year at 135

But didn't LSC start at bantam, 2 divisions below Loma? And didn't Loma have wins over 3 top 10 opponents at 135 while LSC has zero wins over top 10 opponents at 130 or 135? They're not the same size and Loma is far more proven above 126

Im not even gonna watch this fight, i dont understand how people can enjoy watching leo santa snooze. you know every single fight its going to a decision, zero power. just spams 1000+ punches with little defence or skill. credit where credit is due, he has one hell of an engine & a decent chin tho

This is Leo’s 2nd fight at 30 and Loma was a unified champ at 35 already... no comparison

[The Big Dunn]

He is absolutely spot on. It is sad, they literally dragged LSC up, Lopez fought an established guy at his weight, he did it the hard way.

Like Lopez said, before Mayweather became Money, he was PBF, you try to jump to Money and it might not work for you in the longer run.

Not true Ray. The fight is scheduled for 130, not 135.

Now I am skeptical that Davis can make 130. However if he does I don’t see how anyone can criticize him for going down and winning.

If he comes in over and then can’t win the 130 belt but only the 135 belt, then it’s fair to kill him for taking advantage of the situation.

[DaNeutral.]

Lol why ppl comparing loma and santa Cruz? Loma was a world champ at 135. So a very legitimate fight.

They just chucking in smaller high profile names for tank to demolish and fool the casuals who don't know any better that he is bowling over big names which means he deserves to be a PPV star. Same tactic for Spence when he fought Garcia.

[Robi13]

Lopez better be ready to back up all this talk when Tank gets back to 135. He will duck and fight ramirez at 140.

Since when is going up in weight to fight a champ considered ducking?

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Exactly. Neither Lomachenko nor LSC are natural 135lber. And both are great fighters in their own right even if you consider that Lomachenko is the greater of the two. This is still a pretty good fight at 130.

this is a total cherry-pick mismatch main event Ppv.... Lsc is past his prime, smaller, slow, and has literally zero power - ZERO kos in over FIVE yrs!!!! Comparing Lsc to Loma is total nonsense!! Wats even more pathetic is A.Mares was Davis initial opponent for this crap Ppv! Haymon/Pbc r blatantly protecting that 0.

Loma was also in his late 20's early 30s when he went pro lol LSC was a kid growing into his body.

[Corelone]

Tank has been ducking Loma for years. But Loma isn't a real lightweight after Teofimo beat him? That only makes it worse. Tank's been ducking a fake lightweight, is that it?

Leo has never been a power puncher in any division. He is and has always been a volume puncher, a lot of his kos and stoppages are just due to accumulation of punches and him overwhelming his opponents.

And tbf as your competition gets better ko ratios tend to go down.. how many kos has golovkin had against top fighters in recent years?
