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

[Davidvictorson]

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 lost that fight because he was fighting like crazy, but the Teofimo who fought with Loma and previous rivals, would have clearly beaten Kambosos. Another reason was his health challenge. According to reports, he had air around his heart that made it difficult for him to breathe properly. The doctors confirmed it. López will make history again in the 140. Canpa doesn't even stand a chance.

Good thing we will see him soon taking another challenge to prove himself once again because when boxers suffer some serious injuries, they sideline and they will not be the same as they were before especially when it comes to dominating their opponents. Let's just hope he really will dominate Campa in the early rounds until he knocks him out because taking the fight to the last round will be risky for him since he is just getting back to fight after he hid first lost.

It's nice if he will win via KO so promoters will be interested in getting him a big fight. Just like what Ryan Garcia did, he knockout his opponent so I'm pretty sure that promoters now are happy on giving him the fight he was asking, and that is against Davis.

I have no doubt about that, Lopez is a rising superstar and he is still young, so I expect him to be aggressive like he always does. Campa is a huge underdog for a reason, so I wouldn't be surprise if Lopez will have a very impressive win since he is in a new division where he believe he would fit very well.

[Daltonik]

Quite worthy of each other rivals, I hope Teofimo will not lose his speed by moving to a heavier weight category and will be able to perform a dance and do his flip after a successful fight, the most important thing is not to forget that Campa is also dangerous at close range.

I more concern about the power though, Teofimo at 135 lbs is known to be a puncher, not a fast boxer. But as he moves to a heavier weight, we will see if he can bring that power to 140 lbs.

Yes, Campa might be dangerous, but I think Lopez will win here. Probably it will be by knock out, if if Campa is really tough he might gave Lopez all he can handle but still squeaking a tight unanimous decision from the judges.

Yes, he is still a dangerous fighter that's why Lopez has to work hard to win here. Tampa had only 1 loss in his career (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/578516), but has not fought a boxer like Teofimo Lopez, so this is a good match up and I like to see a KO here.

Lopez really has to work his stamina out though we all know that he's too consistent during his previous fights.
Tampa is aggressive and seems to be ready for every match. I guess this is a perfect match and this fight will be another remarkable match this year. I still put my hope for Lopez though.

I don't think that he has problems with his stamina, he fought Loma and Kambosos into the distance. The problem with him is that he rely so much with his power. And if that didn't work then he is in trouble just like in the Kambosos fight.

So if that is the case against Campa, then this might go into the distance. But if Lopez can execute his power then he could win by a knockout early and the fight not going over 10.5 rounds.

Canpa doesn't even stand a chance.

That's why part of boxing is the mind game, and obviously we've seen Lopez losing that in the beginning, specially the barbs that they are throwing each other. And that time Kambosos is really very sharp, not just in the mental game.

But since he move forward to 140 lbs already, another different ball game for him. But we will see if he can properly adjusted at this weight specially if the power can carry over to his division for Teo.

Of course, Lopez is still a great fighter now already an undefeated fighter.

Campa is a good challenge for Lopez, and if he wins this fight impressively, this should put him in line as the challenger of the champion. In this new division, he cannot just challenge the champion because it's unfair, he needs to improve his rank first so he will be number 1 on the list of challengers.

Not sure if after this he would be given a chance challenging the champion, but I hope he keeps winning until that time will come.

[freedomgo]

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.

And Ryan Garcia has successfully delivered a KO victory to his fans against Javier Fortuna who clearly didn't expected the kid's speed and power and while he's been interviewed by Chris Mannix of DAZN, we can really see how happy Oscar De La Hoya with the result and he was even happier when Garcia made a statement and called Tank Davis for a fight because that would really mean more money for Oscar.

Anyway back to this fight, the same motive. This match has the aim of preparing Lopez for a much heavier name or champion-caliber that will be his opponent soon in the industry, the only difference is that Pedro Campa is not the kind of boxer like Tagoe that Ryan Garcia has faced.

Of course, if he didn't train that hard Campa might pull upset again on Teo Lopez and he doesn't want that to happen. So he knows that a lot is at stake at this match and we could say that if Lopez losses this one, if might be hard for him to come back and bring they hype that once he has. So he needs to win this one and I believed he can pull it off and bring his name to the attention of this weight class.

[Sanitough]

Of course, if he didn't train that hard Campa might pull upset again on Teo Lopez and he doesn't want that to happen.

If that will happen then that might be the end of his journey in the new division that he tries to be a champion. He need this fight, though it looks like a tune-up fight but he cannot be too complacent here as Campa is definitely not an easy opponent.

Its going to be embarrassing for Teo. Rumor has it that her went up to run away Loma rematch and then suddenly just getting beaten by an unknown Campa. He should have been facing tougher opponents like Catterall or Sandor Martin but because he went up he was given a chance at least Campa.

[Ziskinberg]

Of course, if he didn't train that hard Campa might pull upset again on Teo Lopez and he doesn't want that to happen.

If that will happen then that might be the end of his journey in the new division that he tries to be a champion. He need this fight, though it looks like a tune-up fight but he cannot be too complacent here as Campa is definitely not an easy opponent.

Of course, there's no reason for him to continue if he cannot beat Campa who is a heavy underdog. He is targeting to challenge the champion Josh Taylor, therefore his first attempt in this higher weight division has to be successful.

He needs this one if he wanted to move forward. This is just a preview of his possible run in this new division, he need to show more aggressions to attract more fans and promoters. It's another journey for him but he should not less the capabilities of Campa, the guy is also a good fighter that can beat him if he will make a mistake during the fight.

Lopez needs this win to make his way to another level in his career, losing this one will slim his chance to hypes his name up.

Lopez is definitely aware of that because a loss in this fight will determine his career as it will give it a negative hype, people will criticize him if he will lost in a supposed tune-up fight and people won't also celebrate if he wins by a decision because this is just a tune-up fight for him, what he should do is to dominate Campa throughout the fight and it will be much better if he can go for a KO.
If Lopez will be weaker, Campa will take that as an advantage to add Lopez to his record.

[stadus]

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 lost that fight because he was fighting like crazy, but the Teofimo who fought with Loma and previous rivals, would have clearly beaten Kambosos. Another reason was his health challenge. According to reports, he had air around his heart that made it difficult for him to breathe properly. The doctors confirmed it. López will make history again in the 140. Canpa doesn't even stand a chance.

That is still debatable as the fight hasn't happened yet, Pedro Campa is a bit underrated but he is not an easy opponent that Teo could take lightly as Campa can give the latter an additional defeat in his professional career if he will be complacent about this tune-up after defeated by Kambosos.
Teo has a huge chance and he got to improve more if he's looking to fight heavy names in the industry soon, he should try and finish this fight with a blowout win as this fight could give him the hype and recovery he needs.

[TravelMug]

Of course, if he didn't train that hard Campa might pull upset again on Teo Lopez and he doesn't want that to happen.

If that will happen then that might be the end of his journey in the new division that he tries to be a champion. He need this fight, though it looks like a tune-up fight but he cannot be too complacent here as Campa is definitely not an easy opponent.

Of course, there's no reason for him to continue if he cannot beat Campa who is a heavy underdog. He is targeting to challenge the champion Josh Taylor, therefore his first attempt in this higher weight division has to be successful.

True and that's why they targeted a not well-known fighter in Campa. But still good for Lopez, we can see how good he will be in this division if he chooses to stay and fighting champion like Josh Taylor, a complete fighter that's why he was the unified champion.

As per odds right now: Lopez at 1.02 favorite, Campa, 9.80. So that says it all, Lopez is expected to win this fight easy.
