  • What is the REAL Reason You Want to See Lopez/Lomachenko II?

    Okay, so there have been a bunch of threads since the fight demanding Lopez rematch Lomachenko or threads about Lopez being scared to rematch Lomachenko.

    I just re-watched the fight on Saturday and to be honest, while it was a solid fight, it was far from a memorable or great fight. So I can't imagine anyone wanting to see the rematch because the action was so great and the rematch will be another barn burner.

    Is the reason for wanting Lopez to rematch Lomachenko because some folks still haven't come to grips with Lopez beating Lomachenko? Is it because Lomachenko had a lot more success in the later rounds until the 12th round? Is it because both father and son talked so much crap before the fight and then went on and delivered with their performance?

    What is it? Because it was Lomachenko's inept decision to take the rematch clause out of the contract just because Sr got in his head. That was an all time blunder on his and his team's part.

    While I wouldn't mind the rematch at all, I just won't lose any sleep if we don't get it. I prefer to see Lopez with the other youngsters over the rematch. Lomachenko's excuses after the fight were endless and rivaled Wilder's after the Fury fight...Maybe not to that extent but it has been pretty bad.

    End of the day, Lomachenko faced a green fighter who had only gone past the 7th round one time in his career and wasn't able to capitalize for whatever reason. I think he blew his chance and I don't foresee a rematch happening unless it becomes a big money fight......Which it won't. If Lopez wants a big PPV fight, that will be against either Tank or Garcia.

      I don't think there's a major demand for the rematch but I think some people want to see it again cause Lomachenko won the 2nd half of the fight & he was a unified champ coming in & it was a highly anticipated fight.

      I want to see it because Lomachenko won the 2nd half of the fight & there's a possibility he could've figured Teo out but we won't know that for sure unless they fight again.

        It was a close fight, it drew well, and Lomachenko deserves his rematch.

        You should be questioning the motivations of those who don't want to see a rematch.

            I mean you look around on this board, you have threads about Lopez ducking Lomachenko damn near every day. I agree that majority are fine moving on as the fight wasn't great or anything and Lopez to them won clearly.

            Again, I wouldn't mind seeing them face off again as Lomachenko definitely won four or so rounds in the back half of the fight. But are we to believe that Lopez is going to get worse from the first performance when that was only his second fight that went 12 rounds and his second fight that went past 7 rounds? It is Lomachenko coming back from yet ANOTHER injury and he's the older guy. I have a hard time seeing Lopez being worse than the first fight and not improving as he is entering his prime. If Lomachenko couldn't beat a 15 fight 23 year old novice, then he's probably never going to beat him.

            Let's see Lopez with the other young guns and see if we can get a more explosive and exciting fight.

              There is the question of Lomachenko's performance being hindered by a pre-fight injury. A second fight should resolve that question.

                I'd like to see both of them fight one of the other top guys: Haney / Tank / Garcia.

                Instead of doing rematches they should all be scrapping to find out who is best.

                Teo doesn't seem keen to fight anyone right now and Loma is probably not far off retirement tbh.

                  It drew well ratings for sure, but the fight itself wasn't great. Not that alone means we shouldn't get a rematch but why are so many people mad at Lopez for not giving Lomachenko a rematch? If Lomachenko won in similar fashion to Lopez back in October, do you really think you would have as many people wanting a rematch? Doubt it.

                  It's definitely a good match up and I doubt anyone would be mad if they rematch, but I am just baffled at how strongly some want it. Like it's okay if we get it and it's okay if we don't get it. There is no need for daily threads of Lopez avoiding Lomachenko in a rematch, that is just horse sh^t.
