Lomachenko- solid fav over Teo

[eco1]

He doesn't deserve a rematch.
Nobody wants to see him too scared to throw a punch again for 7 rounds.

Teo, why are you so afraid?

Didnt reall all of the replies, but a general rule of thumb is whoever wins the second half of the fight in the first fight, generally does better in the rematch.

Lomachenko is vulnerable at 135. Cant just tank punches from full fledge lightweights and was hesitant early on. With the rounds he got against Teo now, he should feel more comfortable to take risks.
Teofimos power is still an equalizer though.

Makes sense. The loma haters make it seem as if lopez absolutely annihilated loma. Loma gave away the first half of the fight. Also lopez failed to cut off the ring. The only round he actually won that wasn't given to him by loma was the 12th

Come on if anyone is afraid its the guy Teo spent months & months chasing. The one that was too afraid to throw a punch for 7 rounds until Lopez started too tire.

This is ridiculous how can you accuse Teo of being the scared one, Loma didn't throw a punch for 7 full rounds through fear of getting ktfo. It was one of the most cowardly displays I can recall from a top fighter.

Only on boxingscene can you chase a fighter, pressure them into fighting you. You intimidate him so badly they remove the rematch clause & scare him stiff into not throwing a punch for 7 straight rounds, beat him and almost knock him smooth out in the final round to put an exclamation point on it then get accused of being afraid.

Loma is only fronting, its what he is a frontrunner. If he really wanted a rematch he'd have not took the clause out of the contract.
