[Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - November 27

[Yaunfitda]

We have some breaking news. Teofimo Lopez has tested positive for Covid-19 and this fight has been postponed, again. This has been a real disaster for Triller who paid a lot more money than this fight was worth and then had to change the date because of the Floyd fight and now because of this.

BREAKING: Source: Teofimo Lopez tests positive for Covid-19, Kambosos fight and card is off, moving to Aug. 14.#boxing #LopezKambosos

Damn, after so many postponements, here we are again hehe.

Moving the fight to August 14 might not be a good idea as the fight between Manny and Errol Spence is scheduled on August 21 so I think people might not buy the PPV as they rather watch the Pacman return.

Don't you think that there are some things fishy about those postponements? Sorry if you think I have a green mind but who's with me? LOL. This is really a disaster for those who already make a bet. Don't you think that people will make another bet while some of their money is floating? You are right @bisdak4, I guess people would rather go in pacmans return.

I don't think there some fishy going on regarding the postponements. Lopez was reported to have been contracting the virus so the next best thing is not allow him to fight, but give him ample time to recover. And they are not going to received any incentives if they cancel the original date. For those who have bet already, then they will just have to wait for the fight to happen. Maybe others will bet more, or just stick to their original bet, it won't chance a thing.

Lopez would never back down from his opponent, he fought Loma and won, he already proved that he is better than the champion that's why he is the champion now, if we look at the betting odds, we will understand that Kambosos has a very slim chance of winning.

As least we have some development regarding this fight:

Lopez-Kambosos Eyed For October 5 At MSG's Hulu Theater; Contracts Due To IBF By Close Of Business Tuesday

A long overdue clash for the world lightweight championship will finally see the light of day.

Hopefully.

The oft-postponed lineal/WBA/IBF/WBO lightweight title fight between defending champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12KOs) and mandatory challenger George Kambosos Jr. (19-0, 10KOs) is likely to remain stateside. BoxingScene,com has been informed by representatives directly involved with the event that a fight date has been set aside for October 5 at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in New York City.

I do hope that this will be the final schedule for this fight, I would say this is much anticipated after Lopez beat Loma. Loma has already move on and beat Nakatani. Now it times for Lopez to defend his title against the Australian. I agree that this is long overdue, with so many postponent. They still have enough time to promote this fight and I'm sure both boxers are eager to face each other.

[Japinat]

Finally, there's a final date of this fight again, I almost forget this fight because of the postponement, but definitely, this fight is worth to watch and let's see if Lopez would be able to defend his title after that stellar win against Lomachenko.

Are the betting odds still up?

Yes, will be interesting to see how Lopez is up to, lots of postponement already and his fans are eager to see him back in the ring after destroying Loma. He had a long lay-off already, so not sure if this will affect his performance against Kambosos.

Are the betting odds still up?

I haven't seen any odds on crypto bookies right now. Maybe if the fight is really official then maybe they will start to open up the betting lines. Let's wait.

The fight with lopez will certainly have a big impact on kambosos career in the future, because lopez is a mandatory opponent for kambosos after winning split points over Lee Selby in october, i think if kambosos is able to beat lopez he will be the best australian boxer of all time time, but of course it's certainly not easy, especially considering that Lopez career was quite brilliant in 2020 and Lopez managed to win almost all the belts in the lightweight class.

LOL, are you saying that Kambosos is the A-side in this fight?

We are talking about Teofimo Lopez, who just beat one of the best pound4pound boxer and very technical Lomachenko. It seems that you don't have the grasp of this fight as Kambosos is the mandatory for Lopez and not the other way around. And who the hell is Lee Selby in this division?

And what makes this fight very good in my book is that both of this fighters are not backing down from each other. So two loud mouth trash talking, we will see if they can walk the talk in the ring.

Regarding the odds, for sure Lopez will be the favorite here base on his last performance against Loma. I'm guessing around 1.2-1.3x ML for Lopez as the opening odds.

The fight will happen October 5 
Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr headed to Hulu Theater on October 5 hopefully this fight will push through this is a fight between two fighters who are not afraid to engage and fight toe to toe, both fighters are equal in their aggressiveness and records I have Lopez in a slight advance because of his speed and ring generalship.

[Jawhead999]

Probably this multiple postponements caused by Kambosos was scared to fight with Lopez, he want to have a good records without any single lose Even though Kambosos never lose of all his fights, but to be honest he's not a professional boxer right now because his boxing skill equal as beginner or intermediate only.

Lopez is still young, but he has excellent speed and power like other senior boxer, his hook is very strong. Lopez is one of my favorite boxer, I don't want to miss any single match on his fight. I remember his fight with Freitas on 2018, he do fortnite dance and back flip as the celebration it's so entertain. Many people said his celebration is too excessive and not respecting his opponent, but in my sight he do respect his opponent by not keep punching when already knocked down.

And who the hell is Lee Selby in this division?

Tattoos division lol

That won't take long as we already have to September and after that a few days later we will see a nice fight again. Teofimo Lopez will once again get some chance to prove his power by defending his current title looks like an easy fight for him. honestly, Kambosos is nothing to him because judging by how he finished his last opponent, Lopez is still in his prime and will get through this one easily.

Kambosos did not caused the fight to be delayed, the last postponement was due to Lopez getting infected by the corona virus. And Lopez doesn't want to and travel to Australia (Kambosos home country) to fight because of home cook decision (remember Pacquiao vs Horn)?

He disrespect Freitas because he was talking trash prior to the fight. You may call it disrespect by I think the guy deserves it.

What does the home cook decision mean? I thought this fight has already happened and I just didn't saw the result or I missed it but it seems that it's postponed again and again. Hopefully they settle this fight so we can move on and see other upcoming matches.

Fight like this is very rarely to happen nowadays because most boxers now are using their Mind strategy than power and skill in Box.
many use the whole ring to their advantage but these 2? will surely find their way bout to bout without hesitating to fell down knockout .

Are the betting odds still up?

i think it is early to have Odds since we are more than a month before this happens.

but will be eyeing for Lopez here.

Maybe what he meant is that Lopez is against fighting Kambosos in his home soil because of the possibility that the decision might be biased if the fight goes to distance and the decision will go to the judges hand.

We have this happened to Manny Pacquiao against Jeff Horn in Australia wherein majority saw Pacquiao winning the fight but the judges seems to see it differently because the final score show Horn ahead on three judges. And Lopez doesn't want that to happen to him.

So this fight will be held outside of Australia? I think it was a good thing that it was postponed to October and not August because it almost coincides with Manny's fight and ticket for this fight might not sell well.

It's almost a year now since Lopez defeated Loma and he might have ring rust so I might go for Kambosos because I have doubt in Lopez. Lopez may held the four biggest belt in his division but the manner of how he get it is not so impressive and why he doesn't want a rematch with Loma, is he afraid that he might lose in their second fight?

[Japinat]

is he afraid that he might lose in their second fight?

Did he said he doesn't want a rematch anymore?

I read some of the news that there's a possible rematch,

https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/6/27/22552396/teofimo-lopez-vs-vasiliy-lomachenko-rematch-looking-likely-boxing-news-2021

can you confirm?

I think a rematch is good for boxing as Loma has won his last fight and proved that he is still here, when it's good for boxing, it should be good for both boxers as they will certainly make some good money.

Ohh this must be a piece of good news for Loma and to all his fans as he might reclaim his belts. A rematch is what hardcore boxing fans wanted to see because of the manner Lopez won it, not so impressive.

Above is a youtube video and there you can see the reasons why he don't want to give Loma a rematch.

Wonder why Bob Arum didn't push a rematch as this would be huge in terms of income.

[aioc]

OP or Baofeng should change the date of the fight in the title, people might think that the fight was finished when it's not yet the fight is going to happen in October it's less than two months just enough to hype this match again, it generates a lot of excitement when first announced, it's expected because both fighters are thrash talkers and they are both staking their undefeated records.

Arum is a bad promoter because he knows that if Lopez will lose, his income will stop. I guess for a champion like Loma, if there's a challenger, it should be stated in the contract that the champion is allowed to challenge for a rematch at his discretion, that is fair IMO so the champion is given an opportunity to reclaim his belt.

With that said, I think I appreciate Ugas more as even if he is the champion and beat the legend, he respect Pacquioa and even offered him a rematch.
