Teofimo vs Loma: ... Who ya got?

[powerpuncher]

I think what I tend to forget is that Lopez had a pretty decorated amateur career. He also isn’t that young. He is 23 which isn’t that bad. It’s not like he’s 20. He just doesn’t have that many professional fights (same as Loma though).

So I am thinking that Loma will win but I believe that Lopez will definitely give him problems because of his style and power. Unfortunately for Lopez, Loma has superb skills so I think he will be able to adapt better. I’m thinking the scores will range from the 115-113 to 117-111 area with Loma getting the best of Lopez.

Basically no outcome would completely shock me other than Lopez just completely dominating Loma. I would put my money on Loma but I want Lopez to win.

Finally decided that Loma's experience and ring craft will see him through this.

Also got a feeling Lopez might be prone to cuts, but he's just never been caught flush or enough to do that damage yet. Loma will pick him apart and possibly open up some damaging cuts.

Most likely a UD for Loma.

Does Lama have the power at lightweight to do any real damage against a big lightweight?. As I've said Lopez is a very good counter puncher with power.

Will always pick Loma until he fights the best in a division, then will probably still pick him.

Guess good news is College football has been cancelled. Undercard kicking off now should guarantee a clean start time.

Wondering if Lopez is beat up and far behind which way will his fiery Dad go in the corner and how much of that constant bravado Lopez tries to sure up.

Would you consider this fight between the 2 best in the division?

It might be just me but I thought Lopez looked a little drained at the weigh-in.

Good evening guys. Ready for a good night of boxing. Spirited initial scrap to start off the proceedings.

Those cards were pretty wide for that 1st fight.

Garcia was the best in the division. Top Rank refused that fight repeatedly. Wouldn’t even negotiate. After months and months of questioning Bob finally said “I refuse to negotiate with him, we’ll make him an offer he can take it or leave it” then he never made that offer. Even though Mikey kept contacting everyone at Top Rank about the fight.

As for if it’s the best after refusing Garcia, I don’t know, maybe Tank is, maybe Haney is. The young guns are all unproven. Hard to say who number 2 is. Teo looks like the guy. So respect to Loma for fighting one of the young guns.
