Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: I'm Not Only A Power Puncher; I'm Also Smart, A Great Boxer

Teo has been calling Loma a diva. I just saw a video of Teo saying he's getting his hair, nails and eyebrows done. Who is the real diva here?

It’s weird aint it? Dude gets manicure’s, cries over bullsht, threatens retirement after one somewhat tough fight, wont fight unless he gets what he was promised before the pandemic

But Loma is the diva. I’m not sure this generation knows what a diva is.

So what? People have lapses. I don't think that defines Lopez completely.
Wanted to bet you points straight. Why add Crawford? It's not reasonable.

I challenge you to name another fighter that got taken the distance by a nobody, then decided they'll never fight tall fighters again.

See, bets aren't difficult. There have to be stakes. You have to be willing to risk something that matters. Otherwise there's no point.

In your world, you would only do Russian Roulette with a foam bullet toy revolver, and laugh about it afterwards.

What's the point in even doing it then?

Points have no value.

Money is heartless during a pandemic.

But your ego...now THAT interests me.

Someone who really believes in what they're saying won't have an issue taking a bet where the only risk is a bruised ego.

Thus, like the others around here, you don't really believe Lopez has a chance. You HOPE he can land something.

But in your heart, yellow and shallow, you know that we're likely to witness a Nick Walters result, and once that happens, Lopez will likely run out of the ring like Broner and go into hiding/retirement like Michael Spinks.

That's why you guys won't take risky bets with stakes that mean a damn. Because you saw what this guy has done to three quality fighters and you're worried that you'll see your 'eye test' take an F right before your eyes.

Then, when me and plenty others call you out for your ignorance, you will make excuses. All because you are cowards who won't man up and put your ego on the line.

Anybody can win this fight, despite Loma's hype machine. It's a 50/50 fight for me. I wouldn't bet on either, tho, unless it was for fun and for points.

Can't pulled your race card against Revelated can you?

Lmfao! So fun watching your pathetic ass lose face.

[PinkGod]

The point bet is ****** because of the reset that happened.

But just for you, a friendly bet? Fine. All of these Lopez diehards are simps that don't really believe what they're saying and afraid to back it up, so why not?

When Loma gets his hand raised:

you admit, openly and consistently, that Crawford is a lying, smoke and mirrors coward that ducked

Porter ("he gotta wait") ,

Keef ("$10 million doe") ,

Danny Swift (refused to pay $3 million, then paid Khan twice the amount to take a low blow),

Manny (when they were both at Top Rank and Manny wasn’t as old) and

Gary Russell.

In other words, all you have to do is accept the truth you already know. Easy.

And you keep it up until / unless he accepts B-Side terms to fight a threat AND beats that person with no asterisks or takes an L, whichever happens first.

If Lopez can overcome the odds, I'll give you all my points.

What say ye?

I’ll take that bet.

I vaguely remember Lopez became sort of emo on twitter after his fight vs the Japanese boxer, didn’t he? Like he was cryptic, sounded like he wanted to quit boxing. I could be wrong. But he showed some mental fragility there, which doesn’t give me too much confidence in him vs Lomachenko. When you’re going to fight a very good, very slick boxer like Lomachenko you have to be mentally on point, even if you’re losing on the cards. And I think Lopez is too inexperienced for this, and hasn’t built himself up to that level mentally. I think his current confidence can get deflated quick in the ring vs Lomachenko.

You know I almost forgot about that

Okay, actually I did forget about it.

That really is a big red alert in terms of Teofimo's heart and mental fortitude.

If Loma manages to take him to deep waters he could actually end up quiting.

I didn't make the comparison, I was commenting on the comparison often used by the López fans.

Linares being stopped doesn't have anything to do with his skill set. He got caught cold a few times. It happens. Anybody that thinks Linares isn't a highly skilled boxer, and more so than López, needs to give their head a good ol' shake.

So if Loma loses to Lopez are you gonna call Loma a bum?

[Doubledagger]

I don't think he's elite, but elite level. As in he can compete with those elite guys, have decent success, but will eventually come undone.

López is definitely a different fighter, but styles make fights. I think the only reason Linares had so much success against Loma is that offensive, lateral moving, punches in bunches type style. He could move with Loma to a certain extent, which I don't think López will be able to do. I think López will be one step behind. Don't get me wrong, I see a good fight on the horizon, but I think Loma gets a UD.

Lopez needs to fight like Errol Spence.

Don't focus on scoring points just focus on beating your opponent to submission.

Throw lots of body shots and mix it up with head shots here and there and he should be able to break down and KO Loma.

If he focuses on boxing on scoring points he'll get outboxed and befuddled.

He must give Loma a receipt for every transaction.

If Loma lands a one two he must give a body shot receipt.

A guy must know that there is a penalty for ever transaction he attempts to make.

Thats how Spence broke Brook down and thats how I think Lopez can break Loma.

Of course Lopez cannot throw as many punches as Spence. I'm saying he must follow the principle, not necessarily the style.
