[Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13

[Kemarit]

^^ I guess we have to include Loma in the discussion because that is Lopez best win in his career. But then again, Loma was injured, then he wanted to have a rematch, in which Lopez didn't want to. And Teo obviously chooses the wrong fight because Kambosos beat him badly.

And now that he is campaigning in a new division, again, a lot of good names in here so it will really expose Lopez on how good or how he is an average fighter. Against Campa, maybe we can say that he can win here, but against tougher a tougher natural welterweight, we will see how he will go against them.

Exactly, Kambasos gave him a match that he will not forget, I was even surprised that Lopez was expecting a win after the right even though he was hit by a lot of power punches from Kambasos. Lopez is not a real man, he should give Loma a rematch as a sign of respect for the old champion.

He can win against Campa but will probably struggle against a legit champion in this division.
Campa is probably a cherry-picked fight for Lopez IMO.

I agree, but him and his father really hated Loma that they ignore his request even if it can be made and with a lot of money too, but maybe they know that Loma might win in the rematch so they go and fight another fighter in Kambosos but it was a disaster for them.

But good about this fight is whether Teo can bring his power, if he did then he will be a good match for established champions and fighters in this division like Taylor, Zepeda and Ramirez or Paro. So maybe after this one, it could be on the next tier like Prograis, Sandor Martin or Jack Catterall.

Based on the list he only has to deal with Josh Taylor, Teofimo Lopez is still a great and skill full boxer and he can match what Josh Taylor can offer he will be a legit super lightweight if he beats Campa and will fave the way to challenge Taylor, he needs to be spectacular in this fight just like he did when is in the lightweight division.

Teo had not capitalized that win against Loma. After being inactive, loses his  fans and perhaps does need this tune up fight. Top  rank sees Campa a good candidate for Campa had also not fight outside Mexico for years. A typical Toprank looking for a boxer with a record that looks impressive but the fighters he faced are arguable if not weak.

It's not easy though, of course only Taylor name was their because he was the undisputed, But he gave up obviously two of the belts already and it will be fought by former champion Jose Ramirez and Jose Zepeda, that will be a banger fight.

If 135 lbs is easy for Lopez, this 140 is very different league for him. Not saying that he won't survived, but there are a lot of live boxers that is more capable of being him even with a knock out.

[lionheart78]

What do you expect? He is under Top rank which is good at somewhat making their fighters good specially after a big lost. So I would agree that this is a cherry pick fight for Lopez entering a new territory at 140 lbs.

I don't think Teofimo Lopez next fight is cherry-picked.  Looking at Pedro Campa's record of 34 wins 1 loss 1 draw where 23 of the 34 wins are KO, he is a dangerous boxer with a KO punching power.  This will be a dangerous fight for Teofimo especially when Teofimo came from the lighter weight category.  This fight will be a test of Teofimo whether he can withstand a heavy hitter of 140 lbs.

I agree the fight against Campa is a test for him if he can absorb heavy punches from 140 lbs, the same way if his power is effective enough to KO the regulars of that weight category. I believe this is a great test for Teofimo Lopez since Campa aged 30 is still in his prime.

Wow, so there's only one champion in this division? It's a great opportunity for Lopez to get all that belt if he will beat Josh Taylor and he could be the reigning champion in this division if he would really does well. It will be a big challenge for Josh Taylor so I surely want to see Lopez getting to the top to challenge the best.

According here https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/725709), Taylor is only an IBF and WBO champion, not sure if the list is updated or not.

But this isn't a real test, you can tell by the betting odds alone that Lopez is the heavy favorite, therefore we can assume that majority of the fans believe that Lopez will easily win the fight. he is not fighting a champion, so it's not a big deal if he win this fight, but if he will, he should be ready for a bigger challenge agains a champion.

Just like Ryan Garcia, he had some tune-up fight before the big fight, so this is probably the same because, in order for Lopez to challenge the champion, he should achieve a good ranking to be a mandatory challenger. I believe he will not be having a hard time achieving it, it only take a little time.

[fortunecrypto]

So Teo Lopez is back, after the humiliating lost against George Kambosos, he is making his comeback, but this time he has move up in weight. He will be fighting a dangerous and experience boxer in Campa next month.

Teofimo Lopez made the necessary adjustment by hiring back Jorge Rubio, the man who contributed to his earlier success, and made him the Takeover guy now that they are back to each other Teofimo will continue his legacy as a takeover guy, let's admit it Teofimo is still a great fighter who is capable of beating in the superlightweight division, he just has to sober up and concentrate
on his goal.
He has learned a lot from his first loss and that will contribute to his maturity as a boxer, Pedro Campa is a good boxer but not equal to the level of Lopez, Teofimo needs to impress not only the boxing community but boxers in that division.

Yeah, he become undisputed when he fought Jose Ramirez, who has the WBO and WBC belt, and Josh have the WBA (Super), IBF and then The Ring.

Josh Taylor though has to gave up the other belts that's why it is vacant.

I have it covered here:  [Boxing]: Josh Taylor vs Jose Ramirez - May 22.  Didn't get that much attention back then, hehehe.

But since we have Lopez campaigning now in this division, it lit up and making some noise. And I've heard that one contender in this division who just won is calling Lopez already and his name is Arnold Barboza.

[Jawhead999]

'I don't think Lopez has a problem at all in the super lightweight his alibi when he lost the fight against Kambosos was Lopez having a hard time in the lightweight division and they should have moved up earlier, Teofimo will be better in that division and he will make waves in that division and Campa will be his stepping stone in the super lightweight.
Although I don't rule out an upset Teofimo cannot afford to lose he is in a comeback trail and a very important comeback fight.

I think a boxer that already won and have many belts, doesn't allowed to move into higher weight division since he didn't prove to everyone if he deserve to get those all belts and not just a fluke. Lopez choose Kambosos since he doesn't have any belt at that time and have a good record, which everyone will think the underdog is good enough to challenge a champion. If the champion choosing a boxer which ever losses, moreover the unknown boxer, the crowd will think it's cherry picked.

Pedro Campa is very dangerous opponent for him besides he was adjusting on the weight, His opponent has a lot of experience and has a good previous record prior to this upcoming match. This is indeed a good fight because they are both a good hitter type boxer but I’m just concern to Lopez career after this match if he lose again to another dangerous boxer. He just suffer a terrible lose and this will be bad to his career once he lose once again.

I'm sure Lopez has prepared for it, but i think he's still be the underdog this time as majority of the audience will likely to end in favor with Campa. Lopez has endured losses prior to this fights, and if he will not improve his skills in the ring especially that Campa is not just an ordinary opponent, then he will end up with another loss which will create more destructions on his career. Well, will find out soon when August 13 comes, if Lopez can be the new light-welterweight champion.

Lopez indeed, need to step up here as his opponent is not just a regular boxer so to say. let's wait for the odds to come out. to redeem himself, lopez would want to win on this upcoming fight. campa may be a slight favourite here once bookies posted their odds.

For sure, I'm seeing Lopez as a clear favorite in the betting odds although this might be his first trip in this division. Campa is not well known in the boxing community, I mean he is just a regular and b level that Lopez can beat with his power.

As for the his lost against Kambosos, he might have under estimate George very early and he thinks he can just work him down when his power. But George is a different fighter that time and on a mission to really upset Lopez.

This is a Campa come back fight for being inactive for a long time and Lopez needs someone who looks tough on records since this is his first fight in the division, lesser opponent make sense for Lopez. Because as soon as he beings to fight a considerably good opponent like Kamobosos, he'd lose again so he better just be with Campa.  If this ends to be an upset, Arum will put him to rest.

[Fundamentals Of]

While this is obviously a fight made for Lopez, it might be worth considering making a little bet for Campa. He will surely be the big underdog in this fight even if Teofimo had just been defeated in his last fight against Kambosos, and even if Campa has only a single loss that happened years ago. There's a possibility that Teofimo Lopez will not be the same Teofimo Lopez in this fight. His recent loss seemed a very big deal for him. It might have affected him too much.

Lopez needs to work more after that last loss, else, he will lose his career and it will be harder to him to come back, though like what you just mentioned it's not an easy opponent for him as Campa can also stand up and dominate him, it's more on how the fighter prepared from this upcoming fight and how they will performed on their upcoming fight.

Let's wait if how the bookies will treat both fighters, then how the fans will support their respective fighters.

Another interesting fight to bet with your spare coin. Best of luck to every eye that waiting for this fight!

[Cryptmuster]

Just like Ryan Garcia, he had some tune-up fight before the big fight, so this is probably the same because, in order for Lopez to challenge the champion, he should achieve a good ranking to be a mandatory challenger. I believe he will not be having a hard time achieving it, it only take a little time.

For a long time, weak opponents were selected for Garcia in order to raise him in the rankings, I'm still interested in seeing him fight with a worthy opponent.
If you read this topic, you get the impression that two equal opponents will fight, but if you even look at the odds of the bookmakers, it becomes clear that Campa just has no chance against Lopez. It's clear that Lopez needs to first adapt to the new category and try his hand at weaker opponents before fighting with champion.
