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

[Japinat]

Campa though seems not to be intimidated by Lopez's stature, that's good, at least he will fight it out without any pressure whatsoever. Going to be big for Lopez if is he going to win by knock out again, and make a big comeback after that disaster from Kambosos last time.

That is good because Campa should stand his ground and not be intimidated because it is his own division and Lopez is just a newcomer looking to have a win on his debut in this new division he climbed on.

This will be fun to watch as both of them are eager enough to win big especially for Lopez because this fight will really dictate his future if he can have more big money fights in the future or Campa will wake him from that dream.

Well, I'd say that a tune-up fight in this industry is somehow synonymous to a cherry-picked fight because Lopez's camp are surely making all the arrangements to get the hype back on their boxer after that upset he got last time against Kambosos. He could've won that fight if he just came prepared and not so arrogant enough to underestimate Kambosos, I hope that he got the lesson now and not to underestimate Campa because even if this is a tune-up fight for him, I can say that Campa can still defeat him.

Campa has knockout punching power too and is a natural of the weight division.   Lopez shouldn't feel too confident to the point of being careless.  We have seen several boxers getting knocked out because of being cocky.  And I think he learned his lesson in his previous fight against Kambosos, so I believe I will be seeing a different Teofimo Lopez this time.

Indeed! Campa has a decent KO rate with a figure more 60%+ and that's not really far from Teo's KO rate of almost 71% if we round it off. Also, Campa here has almost all advantage he needed like heigh, reach and experience to upset Teo or at least make him struggle. I'm looking forward to see a different Teo though, the one who's not underestimating his opponents nor getting overconfident because that attitude made him put a scathe in his pretty record.

Campa should focus and think of the way to beat Lopez, better to bring all your best it's a chance to hype your name as we all know the achievements that Lopez has, though he lost everything with Kambosos and he is trying to get back on track, he still have a good resume that Campa can use if he win this fight.

Everything will be discussed after the fight. As of now, we are all giving our own opinions about the fight, but the conclusion can be done
after the fight.

Boxers add up to 10 lbs after the weigh-in and before the official fight so when both fighters are in the ring don't expect them to have the same weight as they have during the weigh-in, that is why boxers hire nutritionists to manage their weight before and after the weigh-in, since both fighters reached the weigh-in limit, we are now talking of skills, power, speed and motivation not the weight anymore.

I am rooting for Campa in this fight since I bet for him taking advantage of the huge multiplier if he wins.  Though I know Lopez is the crowd's favorite there is always this thing called an upset win, and I am hoping for that  

Honestly, I don't care who wins between the two, I just wanted to see a good fight.  And I hope it will not be a boring one where a boxer just keeps dancing and roaming the ring without any or too little engagement.

you'll never know anyway what will happen inside the ring. remember, we have witnessed a lot of upsets recently. it depends on how they prepare for this fight. i can understand that lopez is the favourite here. but we can't disregard campa's boxing skills. if you are lucky with campa's bet, it is going on as 14x in stake. that's a very wide gap of odds. it seems campa has no chance over lopez here, based from bookies' odds.

Teofimo Lopez wins.  A 7th round TKO victory.  The fight was fully dominated by Lopez from 1st to 6th round until Campa was KO'ed in the 7th round.  Although Campa managed to stand up and continue, Lopez follow suit with a barrage of punches until the ref. decided to stop the fight.  It looks like Teofimo Lopez is in for the killin' on this new weight division.  Looks like his punching power is still devastating in this weight division.

[fortunecrypto]

Teofimo Lopez is back and the takeover style has come back the ref stops the fight in round 7 because Campa cannot defend himself anymore, Teofimo is very calm from the opening bell, no eagerness in his fight he looks for Campa's weakness and let his speed and power do the talking, this is the Lopez that we used to see, there's a big gap in skill and fight was fully dominated by Lopez, I guess Lopez is now ready to take over the 140 division now with this win.

Yeah, this is to be expected, you can clearly see the odds on Lopez on this one.

This is just a step up fight in the 140 lbs, cherry pick as we may call it. So it's good to finally see him back in the winning column though. 140 lbs might be as lively now since Lopez has entered this territory.

Let's see who will be his next opponent, I'm not going to be surprised if he has given the pass to go to the champion. Or maybe that is too much, another tune up fight won't hurt him.

Yes, it was the only knockdown but you can see from Campa's face that he is done already. But in any case, not to take anything from the win, but Campa was really slow. Nice comeback for Lopez, his confidence is not high win this win. He won every round in my book and it's just a matter of time before he can score that KO and he did. He needs one more fight before he can challenge Josh Taylor or the winner of Zepeda vs Ramirez.

This was expected of him, not a surprise to me anymore. He looked good in that fight though cherry picked but still it's a good comeback and i'm pretty sure Top Rank is happy with the output as one of their cash cow is back in action.

The future of this light welterweight seems to be exciting with the entry of Lopez and now we can expect a championship fight for him in the vacant WBC before unifying it with Josh Taylor.

Let's see who will be his next opponent, I'm not going to be surprised if he has given the pass to go to the champion. Or maybe that is too much, another tune up fight won't hurt him.

Campa's lack of movement was explored by Lopez it looks easy when his opponent is not moving a lot, he dominated the whole fight he is not making any unnecessary move he just wait for the right time and impose his power and speed, I think he can dominate the Junior Welterweight with this kind of performance, he is more comfortable in this division, there's a possibility that his next fight is a championship fight, he is always ripe for any title fight.

This has got to be to most lifeless fixed fight I have seen. He knows Campa is no match against him but he wants to make it look like Campa is pressuring him in the corner. Teo makes it look like he had fought someone from a top class when in reality Campa is a 4th class fighter. Did any of you ever bet?

Agreed. Everyone has already known many months before what the purpose was for Teofimo Lopez's father when he agreed for Campa to be Teo's opponent for his return in the ring after he lost the championship to Kambosos. This is another ICO pump and dump scam from the promoters of boxing hehehehe.

Right, we can see the big difference in terms of talent, I see comments in some boxing threads that he beat a taxi driver but then Lopez and his father in post fight like won the lottery and something and they are all shouting.

If Teo steps up the plate and let's see fight Richard Prograis, it will be a very different league for him. Forgot about Josh Taylor as for sure he will be schooled and badly beaten, more than what he get from a humiliating defeat from Kambosos.

[coin-investor]

The result is what we all expected, Campa did not give resistance to Lopez, it takes an extraordinary fighter to beat Lopez, he is the man who beat the man, this is the first step in conquering the 140 division and it will look easy for him leading to that road, it will attract a lot of talks if his next fight will be against Tank Davis or Joshua Taylor, his camp should work on the next big fight he's always ready and he will attract gate sales since he is already a former undisputed champion.

Hehehe, as we all expected, Teo will win by either TKO/KO and that's what happen in this fight. And Campa is really not on the same league as Lopez as it was very evident from the first round, the contrasting style, stance, you can its vey different.

Let's wait for him and fight good boxers in this division to see if he can stand with the big punchers in this division. He mentioned a name after the fight, Prograis, that will be a good match and real test for Teo if he can fit in this 140 lbs division. The good thing is that he brings hype already, so maybe there will be fans going to watch now the Jr. Welterweight division.

It was just a one-man show when he dominated his opponent in the early rounds and finally, the ref stop it because it was too much for Campa to take all those power punches that always landed in his face. Lopez is really back because he just show us a fight that he had been having when he was winning knockouts throughout his career his precision and accuracy are still the best. I think he is ready for another title match after this and gonna make a lot of fighters in their division struggle.

Exactly, as expected, it's a one-man show as it was cherry-picked to make Lopez look good, if only he fought a caliber fighter, it would be more exciting to watch but let's hope Lopez will have a tougher challenger in his next fight, if it's against the champion, that would be even better.

Lopez already made his presence felt in this new division, he still have more fights before a championship fight, so let's see if he will continue winning before he could challenge the champ. Lopez after a bad loss to Kambosos has bounce back in a round 7 TKO, congratulations to him and to the fans.
