Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Lopez's Size, Reach Made It Difficult To Get To Him - Wants Rematch

[WalMan]

Lomo/Lopez

Lopez was saying he probably won't be able to hold the 135 weight class. This was likely his last fight at this weight. For his size, he has to be at his limit. If so, Lomo won't be getting another crack at him.

Why didn't Loma insist on a rematch clause in the contract......arrogance's or money?

A huge oversight on behalf of Egis Klimas perhaps?

But in the old times, before contractual re-match clauses, how did re-matches happen?

If the fight was good and people wanted more, both parties came together and
organized a re-match.

Like Salido & Marquez, he won now it's time to run. Arum loves a one and done because it makes millions more if they don't rematch.

Teo isn't much bigger than loma.

Around the 4:50 mark he talks about this and also mentions he is open to a rematch but it is up to Lopez to give him one.

Top Rank did a great job with these short videos all fight week and then post-fight.

Killed it all around with their promotion.

If Lopez's size and reach was a problem, does this mean he expects Lopez to get smaller or he has some secret formula to get bigger and longer??

Lol lomas half hearted call for a rematch

[champion4ever]

I don't see the relevance of a rematch at all. If Loma hides his inhibitions by opening up by being more aggressive and exchanging punches with the naturally younger, larger and stronger Lopez; Then chances are he will get knocked out.

He fought a very cautious and deliberate fight the last time by fighting from a distance and in spurts; Which is not his style and why he was able to last the distance. If he comes right at Teofimo in a straight line he will get KO.

Loma is a smaller and older fighter who needs to go back down to 130 or retire.

Teo isn't much bigger than loma.

Lopez has always been a 135 lbs and is now looking to move up in weight because he is having trouble making the 135 lbs limit. His body is still growing at 23 years old. While Loma on the other hand, started his professional career at a 126 lbs.

One would have to examine what GRJ and Walters did after their Loma fight to really see how "defining" those wins were. For example, Tim Bradley beat undefeated Devon Alexander. Turns out it was just a good win, not a great win.

still current champion GRJ only loss...likewise for Rigo. Still inactive Walters,who had brutally Ko’d Donaire and Darchynian prior to the Loma fight, only loss as well.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Doesn't have one. Defining fight isn't just a normal win.

Lol..”normal” win? By that ridiculous logic .. Wilder, Charlo Bros, Tank Davis - even after he kos Lsc in a mismatch, Rigo, GRJ, Crawford, Thurman, Spence, Lsc, etc have no significant career defining wins! Even if u call them “normal” wins, how many fighters other than Loma have defeated 3 undefeated champions in 14 fights much less their entire careers??? Zero!!!
