Usyk will show his buddy Vasiliy how to handle a bigger opponent on Oct. 31st.

I’ve alwys like Usyk Better than Loma but let face Loma faced a top elite talent in Lopez where as Chisora is a bum.

Welp... Since a lot of guys here make Loma a BUM now that seems legit...

what does open to a rematch mean?

Is he being polite since he can't demand one without a clause or does he really want one?

I think loma should fight someone else first and teo do the same and see how thing's are mid late next yr, hopefully this pandemic crap is eased by then

"Open to a match" is his way of saying he'd welcome a return fight. Why do you ask what it means...It means what it says. He's a foreigner learning to speak English, but very limited.
A rematch need not be their very next fight, and nowhere does rematch ever mean this.

The guys were slow, he had trouble with Mayweathers reach If you recall

it's not the reach. it's his running skills that makes it harder.. even a simple jab he's doing a wide step back to avoid getting hit which is very annoying. it's like a scared to get hit situation.

He was afraid. Fought like Derrick gainer.

To me it sounded like he was saying he couldn’t get to Lopez because he was too fast and too strong. Sounded like he agrees Lopez got the best of him.

i think he's worrying too much about teo's power. too cautious and careful. he wouldn't know if he didn't get hit early on. he tasted the power later on and felt that he could take it so he started to be more aggressive but it's too late

ESPN told the 2.8 million ppl watching this was the "best boxer on earth"

got outboxed by a 23 yr old green inexperienced pup.


bad look for the sport when casuals think this guy is the best

Loma is great. top ten for sure but all that slobbering by ESPN was not necessary

Yeah that’s a good point on the optics. Especially with how cautious Loma was all night. There was a size difference, both my brothers said López would be about ten pounds bigger in there. Seemed about right? I don’t think it’s ever as big a factor as made out to be though. I really noticed how small Lomas feet were compared to Lopez’s though. Loma wasent even as hard as he could have been physique wise. If Loma pushed a few rounds earlier, got that cut sooner, he’d have had more of a chance. I’m happy for López. Not the best I hope to see from either though.

PAC is so skilled. How he got around people’s reAch was amazing

In case you missed it, PAC is a lefty and with a somewhat akward style.

He only has his left hand but for some reason, most opponents couldnt avoid it.

He isnt too short by any means also.

He said he it depends on Lopez, but of course he’s ready, and he wants the rematch.
