[Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Lightweight Unification fight - October 17

[bisdak40]

Im hoping for him to fight much more popular boxers like The tank or manny pacquiao before retiring. It would be a waste if he just retire like that. Especially when manny is looking for opponents right now, if ever they fight it would go down in history as one of the best top boxers of the world competiting against each other.

Like you said, this fight is easy. So its better to pick fighters at his level.

Loma vs Pacman won't happen IMO because Loma is fighting 3 2 division south of 147lbs which Manny is campaigning and this time in their career i think catch weight is not advisable.

Loma vs Davis or Loma vs Garcia would be explosive but Loma needs to focus first on Lopez and not take him for granted. In boxing, it would be stupid to think that you are going to an easy fight as there's no such thing as an easy fight.

Holysh*t Pacman again?! That guy has done so much in his boxing career. Let him retired in peace
He still can do charity/exhibition match though, but not a serious one.

Anyways, I don't think Loma can go up two weight divisions again as he is too short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB-Uz4QWnS4

But with the statement of Arum posted above that this fight will push through with or without a crowd, that means that the camp of both fighters are fully aware that this fight would generate less money for them.

With that statement, they don't really care if they only make less profit in this fight. what important here is the two will gonna have the chance to prove who will be the great fighter in the ring. This is not an easy fight for both fighters because both of them have some good records. Anyway, no matter what will the result of this fight, I hope this will be the last boxing fight with no audience because this is one of the sports they really need some cheers n the crowd to make the fighters hype.

They don't really care if they only make lesser profit. What they care is that they make money. That is the primary goal of Arum and other promoters. It is not their goal to prove who is greater than whom. It is not even their goal to let the fighters continue to fight despite covid. Their goal is to find a way to earn in the middle of covid.

Arum might have underestimated the power of PPV, these two fighters are going the fans a good fight to see, so I guess even if they'll increase the PPV subscription, a lot of people would still be interested watching the fight, including me of course.

No, Arum knows there is money in PPV but he knows all too well that there is so much more money if PPV is combined with live audience. Making money out of fights is what Arum's life is all about.

The fight is worth watching of course. So whether there is live audience or not shouldn't matter for as long as the fight pushes through with both fighters at their best of shapes.

Based on experience yes, but this time it can't be possible that there will be audience as this fight will take place this year
So probably we will just see if the result is good because it could be a gauge for the promoter on how to treat the upcoming promotions by him.

if this one would be successful mostly due to PPV, then who knows the Fury vs Wilder might may come soon.

The fight is worth watching of course. So whether there is live audience or not shouldn't matter for as long as the fight pushes through with both fighters at their best of shapes.

Watching this fight, I swear, any fight of LOMA, I'm always ready to watch.

They could always meet in the middle. I wouldn't be surprised if Pacman doesn't just take up one last fight with this era's greatest, just to see if he's still got it in him.

He already got smashed by TBE (Mayweather), he probably wants another shot at greatness, rather than just knocking over the tincans he's currently fighting.

It would be a huge money fight for both of them, and it would be competitive too—skills vs size. Loma would ruin him though let's be honest.

[verita1]

I imagine you know a lot about Vasiliy Lomachenko, the World's Best Pound-for-Pound Boxer. He is a great professional who is trained with a lot of discipline that has allowed him to win his current title.
I am so fascinated to know how he has built his boxing career.

Pay per view, of course, will generate a good income for the organizers and the necessary measure to carry out the events and be able to offer it to the public.
Lomachenko vs Lopez great fight expected by all.

This is one fantasy fights, Loma vs Pacman, not in welter but in the 130-135 lbs division.  

If ever Loma gets past Lopez here, I would like to see him against Davis. Loma is no stranger to fast hands fighter, he destroys Gary Russell Jr in his prime, both has speed. So Loma can adjust as well regardless on who he is going to face, including taller and more defensive fighter.

[stomachgrowls]

This could be the scenario but still anything could happen as i think that Lopez is no pushover but i love to see Loma wins so he could fight Ryan Garcia next  . Loma only has a couple of fights before he retires.

Lomachenko only has a couple of fights before he retires, not heard him mentioning retirement and he is out here to prove that he is the best boxer ever in the history of boxing and he is collecting belts and he has to maintain this level for the next 3 years before he calls it a day rather than fighting two more fights and expect everyone to consider him the greatest is not that easy and for that he needs to have good rivals and he will get that in higher weight divisions.

There are a lot of popular boxers right now, young and has a good record, for example, Terence Crawford, he is an undefeated fighter, he could challenge someone that is young like Thurman or any boxer that could match him, but why would he like Manny? I am not saying Manny can't win but actually this guy's purpose is just some popularity as anyone who fight Manny makes money.

Terence Crawford still wants Manny Pacquiao, but not sure fight can be made

In the end, it's the promoter who decides the fight for a fighter, a fighter is just a warrior, he should not choose.

Pacquiao vs Crawford? that would be huge but i doubt that this one would really be a tough fight for him but this is much better option rather than he forces to increase its weight to fight for GGG which i do see a really
big disadvantage for him but well its a risky shot since he would really aim for that 9th division.

It would really all matter with the promoter and they do match up fights that will really generate some big money and of course it would really be need to be mixed up with some hype. 

Back on topic that this fight will be favor in Loma without any doubts!

They say GGG is too big for Manny, but I doubt Manny here would just allow GGG to beat him, once they call a player, they know what they are doing and Manny proven us many times in the past, even proven us wrong with fights that we almost thought he had no chance of winning but ended up with a KO/TKO win by him.

The line says at all, we can only choose which boxer we like, but of course many would back Loma to win here since he is the most popular, the better boxer in the eyes of the money though he is not getting any younger.

I also want a Loma Garcia to happen, they are today's generation biggest attraction and we all want to see the best fighting the best, I hope promoters will not deprive boxing fans of great match up like a Loma Garcia match, sometimes promoters and managers the one preventing great fights to happen like the case of Wilder Joshua fight.

[NavI_027]

The wait is over! One of the most exciting match could ever happen is now on its countdown (I'm looking forward to this match long time ago already). I admire both Teofimo and Lomachenko because they are good in their own way. Lomachenko got the speed and agility while Lopez got the aggressiveness. Honestly, I can't decide on which side I'll choose. Yeah! Loma would be the people's choice for sure but Lopez should not be underestimated.

Hmm.. Maybe I'll go with Lopez. I want to see his signature move, his somersault lol .

There's just a long queue of fighters wanting to take a piece of Loma's legend. Sadly, though, the man is getting old and the rising generation of talented boxing stars are still very young. Garcia, for example, is more than 10 years Loma's junior. I just hope that by the time they meet inside the ring, if ever they will, Loma is still not losing a good deal of his feared athleticism, speed, and accuracy.

I agree that promoters and managers are oftentimes the pain in the ass when it comes to boxing negotiations. They are the reasons why a lot of great fights didn't see the light of day.

you have already decided, lol.. .

Lopez is also a great fighter, so betting on him is not a bad decision, in addition, the most attractive one is you'll be getting a good odds since he is the underdog of the fight. Loma vs Lopez could be the biggest fight this year, so let's not miss this fight.

Good and very attractive odds for Lopez that's for sure. For the lower weight class, yes this could be the biggest fight in this pandemic prone boxing.  Specially if this will live up to the hype, Lopez upsetting Loma or Loma showing his technical skills and I'm sure boxing commentators will be awe with his talent again and declaring him the best boxer of todays generation.

With his ring presence together with his speed, Loma really get the attention of the commentators. In his opponent's side,
Lopez aggressiveness is also dangerous, taking the right timing and surprise Loma with a big heavy punch.

Also gives him the  chance in winning this fight, like what you have said odd are sweet if happened that he disappoint Loma.

Does the fight had been started or being scheduled? I think it was not happen due to this pandemic. Since it needs time for the boxers for body conditioning and to either gain or lose weight.

The pandemic really the one to blame for this. There are relatively good fights to happen but it never did. I hope that vaccine will be available soon so that we can adopt the normal phase of our life and not like this.

Oops, I was carried away . I am not aware that I already made a choice. D*mn that somersault lol.

But you're right in all fairness, betting on him is not a bad idea either. He is bigger and has a longer reach thus getting a greater chance of winning.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Loma is the more skilled fighter but the long layoff will have a greater impact on him than Lopez. I don't know if a fighter his age can remain sharp without being active in competition.

Lomachenko is fighting all his life and he does have some crazy drills and many of the fighters are copying his training methods and for a fighter like that he will prepare in his way to face Lopez and a one year lay off will not do much harm as he will be healing from his old injuries and he will be perfectly fit and sharp when he enters the ring and regarding his age he is just 32 years which is the prime age for majority of the athletes.
