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

[Twinkledoe]

Lopez here is trying to beat the number 1 pound for pound, this is his ticket to success so he should it right and win impressively.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/28785006/pound-pound-rankings-tyson-fury-makes-debut

Lopez not even in the top 10 but if he beats Loma, he will surely be listed among the greats of boxing.

Lopez would better spend more time at the gym or in sparings, instead of doing trash talk with his father against Lomachenko. Yes, Lopez is young, quick and hungry. Not all of his opponents were top level. As I see, only 3 out of 15 were among worlds top10. And not he states that "he will kill Lomachenko in two rounds". What a joker. Hope this Saturday the fight would last for all 12 rounds, 12 rounds of beating for trash talk.

Those who trash talk are usually the loser after the fight. So yeah, he better spends more time training himself so he has the chance to fight Loma.

The odds in different sportsbooks are really saying that Loma is the favourite here. In few days time, we will see the rumble inside the ring.

^^ Interesting video to watch, up to you which side you believe but for me, it seems the father of Lopez is too arrogant and this just add more motivation to Loma to punish his son on the ring this weekend lol.

I agree with you, and like the video that I posted as well, it looks like the father is the one who started this beef with Loma, and as you can see Loma just shrugged it out, but they kept on their attack on Loma until they get this fight.

And Teofimo Sr's attitude gravitate towards his son and this might result to a very bad loss for his son coming October 17. Almost all of the trainers predicted that Loma will win because of his technical skills so I'm really hype to watch this fight.

Loma is already motivated, but with this video and if Loma have seen this, (I believed that he might have seen it), makes him train harder and he might attempt for a knock out or knock down, worst make Lopez quit just like the others, Lol, that will be the most painful sight for Lopez Sr, if suddenly his son doesn't want to fight anymore because he was frustrated. Jr has a dynamite power in both hands, I agree, but if you can't hit the target, then it's useless.

I have read the comments as well,  the Father of Lopez demanded respect like Loma know's him,lol...

Maybe he'll earn that but in the hard way, the only way is to let his son beat the Lomachenko in the right which is unlikely to happen.

Final Press Conference, guys! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlVBAf-0t6I

My take: four belts, one warrior (Loma obviously), one host, and one punk. Loma looks buffed, by the way!
Meanwhile, Lopez looks scared

Thanks for sharing @mu_enrico..He might looked scared here but I gotta respect his record, for an underdog who loves to fight toe to toe, I might somehow place a little bet on him. Watching Lopez winning highlights is good if you like him to win, just don't want Loma's because you might change your mind. 

[stadus]

I think these odds is quite interesting, which one you'll pick in that number of odds, everything for Lopez is very attractive.

Lomachencko, and 1, is that round 1 win like kO?

I think it's possible considering how Lopez camp are disrespecting the champ here,

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

I think that Lopez will go for broke in the first 3 rounds, because they knew that if the fight progresses, Lomachenko will show his technical skills. So in order to win, they should surprised Lomachenko will Lopez is still fresh in the opening 1-3 rounds, but the question is what if they can't ko him in those rounds? what will be their backup plans now?

Yeah, I think it's like Loma by KO/TKO in those rounds that's why the odds are very attractive.

I think Loma though doesn't possessed a one punch KO compare to Lopez, usually it was a combination of volume punch and making his opponent missed a lot, or a body shot put Lopez down and then Loma taking off to finished him.

@cryptomaniac_xxx - he might look for a KO early, but I think Loma is too wise for that. Probably used his jab in the early rounds to keep Lopez at bay and to get away from that power punch, and Loma also had a good defense so I doubt that he can caught Lopez with a KO in 1-3 rounds in my opinion.

No problem mate!
Yes, looking at the odds, it's tempting to bet on Lopez since he has a great left hook. However, Loma's southpaw style would pretty much neutralize his left (well, if everything goes as planned). If there's a slugfest, it would be beneficial for Lopez.

Loma doesn't have the record for round 1 KO IIRC. He likes to destroy opponents' mentality first, like toying with them and forced them to retire. It's risky (based on record) if you want to bet on round 1 KO.

In other words, he likes to domineta and show this dominance to everyone. Despite Lomachenko is a great boxer, watching his fights and pre fights talks is a bit boring. He knows how to box, but he does not know how to sell the fight.

Quite risky indeed because Loma is a slow starter, that is why Lopez camp is urging their guy to catch Loma in the earlier round because the longer it gets it would be disaster for Lopez.

Here's my take, KO in the earlier round for Lopez and KO in the latter round for Loma, just don't know which particular round  .

BTW, hats off to Lopez Sr, he is a good promoter of the fight as he get into everyone's skin.

Would be nice to bet on Lopez early here, the odds is quite attractive and anything could happen as Lopez though less experience and younger, but this guy has a great potential with some heavy KO rate, 12/15 KO rate, I think this guy is really dangerous.

Because also Loma doesn't have the power, so he really toy with them, and once you are destroyed mentality, I think fighters can sense that, by looking at their opponents eye, then maybe Loma will go on the offensive and try to get a KO. Well, perhaps there is the language barrier, that's why something might have lost in translation, you have to understand that English is not his first language, and maybe that's why he sounds boring to begin with.

Yes, you nail it, hehehe. I bet for Loma for a KO in early rounds. And then have Loma take over in the latter round to look for KO/TKO.

I also have a bet for a draw, risky bet but I like it though,

Draw is a great choice as well, if both fighters will remain competitive and will not give up, this might be a close fight and judge could score a draw.

I'm browsing now about Loma, and I was really thinking he was undefeated until I review his record and found this article.

LOOK BACK Vasyl Lomachenko’s record includes just one loss as Orlando Salido, an Uber driver in his spare time, beat him in his second professional fight

[FinneysTrueVision]

The most likely scenario is that Loma will win but I think too many people are underestimating Lopez. We've seen Loma dropped and bruised up since he moved up to lightweight and Lopez is a brutal puncher. There isn't any outcome that would really surprise me because each fighter has the right style to win the fight.

Does gaining or getting respect someone would really be always on that way or method?  They are just clearly raising their pride and let the fight conclude.

They way on what Lopez father's treatment or words doesnt really sound nice after all. Beating up Loma by his son? He shouldnt really be that too confident because
if he would face up the reality then he will just hide his tail and keep quiet.

Lets see on how far his son would able to last.Im not underestimating Lopez though but theres no doubt on who would be the winner on this fight.

[TravelMug]

@Natalim, that was Loma's second fight, do you have any idea how experience Salido and how dirty he is? And Salido is a cheater as well: https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2654229. So for me that loss to Salido shouldn't be a factor, I mean after that fight Loma hasn't been defeated and then become a the fastest champion in recent history.

As for the draw? I don't like it though, it's either Lopez knock him out, or Loma make his father wave the white towel and stop the beating, that will be sweat for Loma's camp.
