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

[Maslate]

Teofimo Lopez is the best fighter for me with 15 wins without losses. In fact, they already have a career as a boxer in their blood and he inherited it from his parents that's why I believe in his ability because who is a parent who wants to hurt his son so much so obviously, that is impossible his father not to pour the hidden counterpunch.

But it doesn't mean that when your father is a good fighter, you'll also be good, they both have different journey they take and both in different times.
Maybe he is full of training and knowledge about boxing but that doesn't guarantee he will be successful.

Yes,  Teofimo Lopez is undefeated, but Lomachenko  in the eyes of the people is the better fighter.

So, this fight is rescheduled to October 17 and thanks to Loma for salvaging this fight via a purse cut.

On Saturday, October 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, USA Vasyl «Hi-Tech» Lomachenko will meet Teofimo «El Brooklyn» Lopez for WBO, IBF, WBA (Super) and The Ring titles in a 12-round lightweight bout.

Yes,  Teofimo Lopez is undefeated, but Lomachenko  in the eyes of the people is the better fighter.

The guy got talent and the quality of opposition that he have is better than that of Lopez. I was amazed on how he destroyed Guillermo Rigondeaux whom i think have good defense and the way he came back from that knockdown and KOed Linares with that liver shot.

The guy got talent .....

it's actually a special talent, Loma became popular because he beats quality opponent, he does fight the best in boxing just like Pacman.

I was amazed on how he destroyed Guillermo Rigondeaux whom i think have good defense

I saw that fight, Loma was a very tactical fighter, though Rigondeaux was known for his defense and fast foot work, but Lomachenko is a very smart guy, he knows what he is doing in the ring, he is just like dancing in a rhythm.

and the way he came back from that knockdown and KOed Linares with that liver shot.

I didn't see this one, guess I'll check some youtube highlights on this fight.

Rigondeaux said "no mas' to Loma. In paper it looks like this is a thing to watch, defensive boxer of Rigondeaux caliber. In reality though its different, one sided fight that's why Rigondeaux decided to quit in his stool in round six.

Although later Rigondeaux admitted that he has injured his hands that's why he quit. But he also said that Loma is a very technical fighter.

There is no round that Rigondeaux based on what I see, so even if he make that excuse that he  was injured, we can clearly tell that Loma was too much for him to handle, quitting is the best decision he made than force things that might only result of him getting KO'd, it will be remembered, not good for him. If it's really his injury is the reason, he can ask for a rematch, surely he will be given an opportunity.

I'm not defending Rigo here, but it seems "bite more than you can chew". The fight is at 130 lbs, way to high for him as he haven't fought on that weight. Anyways, it's not about them though, it's Teo Lopez turn to try and beat the Loma here. And see if he will be the the next victim of NoMasChenko and take that 0 from Lopez.

Lopez is very confident, but it's gonna be different in the ring, LOMA here will certainly find Lopez weakness and exploit that.

I'm not seeing Lopez fans here, looks like we all vote for Lopez to win in the fight.

Poll would help though, requesting it from OP.

Nice update, finally it's official and we can start putting our bets for this fight.
I would go for the underdog, Lomachenko is a very technical fighter, believe 90% he will win this fight but I will try to play as the Loma hater for this fight.

Hopefully Lopez, this kind is not a "no mas" for Lomachenko. yeah, no match, my own term.

Not 50/50 anymore, 4 people voted for Loma to win while 1 only for Lopez, you are still alone sanitough with your fight, that's completely fading against the public if all of us will root for Loma while you alone voted for Lopez.

And for the record, Lopez confirms that there will be no rematch clause so this makes it more exciting,

Lopez has been in the media lately saying that he has no respect to Loma etc etc. I think this will motivate Loma more to shut down big mouth of Lopez, hehehe. Lopez here is acting more like a diva and the anti-hero or just trying to get into the head of Loma, but it might back fire on him.

Ok that is good that there's no rematch clause, as they can go on their separate way to make new fights. It also makes me think that this is not going to be close though, either Lomachenko school this kid for good and regret bad mouthing him, or Teo Lopez knocking out Loma with his one punch. But I will predict the former though, Lomachenko is too good to lose to this arrogant kid.

Usually the 'dog that barks doesn't bite', so this is what I'm seeing in Lopez here. He is not the favorite in this fight so I don't understand why he goes to the media and making this tirade. As far as the rematch clause? again, doesn't matter, they will cross path again specially if both of them move up in weight class in the future.

Sometimes a fighter that talk too much could also be good in the ring, you'll never know, take Money for example, he is a perfect one.

Please understand that they are desperately promoting the fight, without viewers of the fight, this would not be a success. Lopez here trying to be a marketing guy as Loma is not known for that, so let's just see and don't expect too much as the real fight is in the ring.

Haha, Lopez is just helping Top Rank advertise this fight bro and it got the attention of some celebrities. An article showing on my social media feed which shows Damian Lillard rooting for Lopez because of youth factor  .

I admire Loma because he did not retaliate to the insults thrown on him by Lopez on social media, he just rather let his fist do the talking om the ring come October.

You really had to admire Lopez, talking trash against Loma here, lol, Dame might get disappointed though.

Yes, just like Manny, he do the talking in the ring and used his fist to shut the big mouths of their opponent. I think Lopez will later regret spewing all this insults.

That would not happen, there's no regret, Lopez is not a fool and he knows he is an underdog in this fight, can lose against Loma but if he can sell the fight better, he will get a good share of the revenue, that's what boxers do now, they fight for money, big money so I don't really believe a lot on what they say as for all we know it's just a marketing technique.

I don't what's the share of Loma on the PPV buys or there is any in the contract, all we know is that Loma takes a cut in his pay so that Lopez will get a bigger share of the pie for this mega match to push through. But nonetheless, Lopez is doing a great job and it started to get into the nerve of some Loma fans lol. Yeah, i agree that when the final bell sounded they would embrace and said they are only doing their job and they have nothing against each other.

The split is already predetermined, Lopez is already guaranteed $ 1.x million, and there are no PPV here, that's why he was offered that big amount. Initially he has rejected it and Loma step up and agree to have his pay cut just to be able to salvage the fight. Of course, boxing now is business, trash talk and stuff, but most of the time, the fighters that is so loud mouth losses the fight, except perhaps for elite boxers such as Floyd Mayweather who can walk the walk and talk the talk.
