Teofimo Lopez is the only young lion at 135 worth respecting

[Curt Henning]

i respect teo like crazy for taking the fight as early as he did....i put him over the rest at this point...crazy respect towards him...he knew if he didnt the road to stardom was going to longer and more boring so he made a big push to accelerate the process and will likely reap the benefits......but ....there is a but

he had the easiest road because....him and loma was an easy fight to make...bob couldnt lose...TR vs TR and it was an obvious fight to make and easy to make......getting tank to fight ry is coming with hurdles....haney to fight ry or tank has hurdles....teo fighting any of them now has hurdles...financial ones.......making loma vs teo was easy to do....

[Doubledagger]

A duck is a duck. Davis had his chance to prove to everyone he was the best at 135, he avoided Loma like the plague.

Now he will avoid Teofimo.

Like I said, OP isn't wrong. Teo was the only one that went out and got it.

Davis ducked
Garcia is going to embarrass himself with an exhibition fight instead of a real fight
Haney is boring and not fighting anyone.

I'm a Tank fan but I aint no liar.

Its common knowledge that Tank avoided Loma like the plague.

I understood when the hype for the fight first caught fire Davis was a little green. But then instead of fixing that they just had him avoiding everyone that could pose a threat.

Would have been understandable if say, they had him fight Loma leftovers to see how he compares and had him fight other top guys to remove the green from him. One and a half years, four fights, the make the fight..

Instead Tank turned into the worst Chery Picker ever and clearly had no intention of fighting Loma in his prime, if ever.

Glad Teo exposed both Loma and Tank.

Sadly doesn't seem like Tank has learned anything. Still cherry picking. Leo was a high class high quality cherry pick, but a cherry pick nonetheless.

[Richard Hamilton]

I respect anyone who steps in that ring.

Two fights. Salidoe gave him that L. Remember?

And no I don't consider Loma a lion. The way he was afraid to throw hands with Two ain't do him any favors. I guess you could consider him a lion the sense that he got usurped and kicked out of the pride?

Yeah, lord knows that Floyd always stood in the pocket and threw hands for 12 rounds.....


****ing groupies

How does Haney/Garcia have hurdles? They're both with DAZN.

None of these kids want to fight eachother.

[Floyd is TBE]

Not talking about standing in the pocket and trading... but put Floyd in with fighter as young and inexperienced as Teo and he'd do whatever he wanted with him. Easy work.

On the other hand...

Loma, a veteran fighter, a man that has been in over a hundred fights, a man that had been boxing on the championship level for years, was terrified of being countered by a rookie. Loma is a hyena, not a lion.

Always great when fans are honest and don't become fanboys.

I had the same stance with Wilder..... My intergrity as a fan is more important than chearleading somebody I never met

Bruh.

You keep showing how ****** and weak you are the more you talk.

You think being called a Hyena is offensive? Hyenas are more APEX than Lions and often steal kills from said Lions. They also are more intelligent, have a complex social system AND a stronger bite.

But nah, you sure do love stereotypes dont you?

Lmfao. Loma was so afraid to stand and trade with Teo yet Mayweather never stood and traded with nobody. Id bet you didn't even watch Lopez vs Loma. Was it really dominant?

So you don't know about the real world and you don't know boxing.

What a ****ing tool.

[nino brown21]

So Loma loses one fight and suddenly he’s a “fake lion”? Loma is still the second best lightweight in the division rn lmao, mad disrespectful

I actually wanna hear what lomas plans are havent heard nothing but his whining with the snow queen.

thats the easiest of the matchups to make i grant you that...but they arent working for the same promoter...now if they were both oscar guys or both hearn guys id say easy....again, thats why teo/loma was easily made
