[Boxing] Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett WBO Super Lightweight Title - June 29

[coin-investor]

You can bet on Claggett to win and enjoy a x7 return of your bet if you have a feeling that it will be an upset. But as we can see on the odds, it tells us that this is just a cherry picked fight by Teo.

Its zero chance that I'm going to do that Teofimo should be at his worst if this guy upsets Teofimo, upsets do happen in a fight but the discrepancy in power and skill is just too wide for me to think that Clagget has a chance.

This is the reason why Teofimo is not attractive in the PPV he is putting his level down to face a fighter like Clagget.

If a boxer attains popularity he should sustain it by fighting top-level fighters or mandatory opponents or one that can attract sales, he defeated Josh Taylor he should sustain it by trying to get the top 3 boxers in his division, not someone out of that ranking.
What exactly he will get from this fight?

Right, it's really hard to see how Claggett will win here, unless Teo didn't prepare that hard in this fight and then go on a party before, similar to what Tyson did when he fought and lost the fight to Buster Douglas as later he reveal that the didn't train that hard and underestimate Douglas that time.

Teo is being manage by his Father, so 24x7 he is being monitored and see if he really trains and prepare on this fight very hard. So for sure Teo wanted to keep his title as he is the man at 140 lbs, the lineal champion and this is considered a get busy fight, meaning if he wins here, bigger fight awaits him in the future.

I keep hearing Claggett's name over the years. He was a hot prospect before but I wonder if he is really a world championship fighter. This is his first title shot and he is fighting the division's lineal champ. Lately, a lot of upsets happened, and Teofimo is inconsistent with his performances so who knows another upset is coming.

Teofimo should be able to score a knockout here. This seems like a showcase fight for Teofimo. I usually root for the underdogs so I am hoping once again  that a new lineal champ will be crowned next month.

Same here, hoping that the ref will raise the hand of the new lineal champ but it seems that judges love Teofimo Lopez. Teo needs a knockout win here as to reassert himself in this division and intimidate his future opponents just like what happen when they fought Lomachenco.

For Claggett, he has already 7 losses and should take this fight seriously as a win would make him a household name and thanks Teo for giving this fight to him.

This is the biggest fight fo his career, for sure he'll do the best training to have the best stamina in the fight. I agree with @inthelongrun , Teofimo is incositent sometimes, probably because he is too cocky and underestimated his opponent so he loss his focus at times. Anyway, some say it's just a cherry picked fight for Teofimo, but let's see if that is true, I'm hoping that Claggett will deliver a great fight, it doesn't matter if he loss as long as he is not just fighting for the money and just to survive.

It looks like a cherry pick because Claggett has 7 losses already. But he is actually 11-1-9 KOs in his last 12 fights. He was beating guys that have decent records. So this guy cannot be underestimated as his overall record is misleading. The good thing about Claggett is he is also capable of hurting and stopping opponents, so Teofimo has to defend himself as well from getting hit by those power shots.

Hopefully, after this fight, Teofimo will go for unification fights once again. I wonder if Haney and Pitbull Cruz are willing or if their promoters are willing to risk. I can only feel IBF champ, Subriel Matias as the most willing to unify with any of the champions because he has the lowest fanbase among them.

If the money is right then we can have Haney vs Pitbull Cruz. But so far we haven't heard anything from Haney's camp yet after that lost against Ryan Garcia and it seems that they are hell bent of having that lost be a NC because of Ryan's positive test. But there are still a lot of drama there as his lawyers are fighting it out that Ryan takes contaminated supplement.

I do agree with Subriel Matias case, he is the odd man out and so if he wanted to get the fame, then he should be the one calling this champion. However, he should understand that despite being a belt holder, he could be the B-side against any of this champions.

Maybe Pitbull Cruz is willing to fight Teo but I don't think Haney will after that humiliating loss to Ryan Garcia. Teo Lopez is a power puncher just like Ryan Garcia so Haney's team will try its best to avoid those kinds of fighters as long as possible.

Haney needs to come back with an impressive win, so he should not directly fight a champion and instead try to build his confidence once again. If he chooses to fight Teo, he has the edge since Teo is not as tall as Ryan. Haney can use his length since he prefers to run and beat his opponent on the scorecard. Also, Teo lost to a slower Kambosos Jr. (who probably retired after losing to Loma), so I see that speed is a big advantage for Haney. However, in terms of power, I give Teo the edge.

It's the other way around, Teo or at least his father is looking for Pitbull Cruz for their next fight, unfortunately they settled for Claggett and again as we have said, this is a tune up fight for maybe Cruz in the future,

Teofimo Lopez Sr. says he wants his son, WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo Jr., to face the winner of the March 30th fight between WBA champ Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero and Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.

Maybe Lopez Sr knows that it will be a good fight for his son and most likely he thinks that he can beat Pitbull.

Fight week for this Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett fight.

There is not much option to bet on this fight but per recommendation of some users, "under 10.5 @1.86" is a good bet as Steve Claggett has not face a fighter in his entire career with a caliber like Teo Lopez. Claggett is an aggressive type which fit the style of Lopez so i think he won't last the full 12 rounds.

His last 3 fights went to decision, so it's quite risky. But I agree with you, since Claggett is aggressive then there's a possibility that the fight will end in KO. Teofimo is very aggressive as well, if his opponent would dance with the same music, then your bet will likely hit. Good luck mate, I guess I would just bet on Lopez to win by KO, you have an idea what's the odds for that?

Claggett is an aggressive type which fit the style of Lopez so i think he won't last the full 12 rounds.

Steve Claggett in his last fight in January against Marcos Gonzalez Barraza showed how great he was and how aggressive he was in the boxing ring Steve Claggett won in just two rounds.
In the upcoming fight in few days time, maybe we can see how Steve Claggett shows ferocity in every punch he throws, but on the other hand, Teofimo Lopez is also not an easy fighter to beat.
Teofimo Lopez is much younger and he has pretty good record because in 21 fights he has only suffered one defeat, there will be tough fight later and I sure it can be much better than Steve Claggett fight against Marcos Gonzalez Barraza.

Teofimo Lopez and Steve Claggett both have quite high knockout ratios and are almost equal, anyone would also believe that they would not fight the full 12 rounds because the finish would definitely end in knockout.
I myself tend to be more interested in making Teofimo Lopez the favorite and maybe he will actually get the win even though Steve Claggett is an aggressive boxer and has lot of experience.

[Natalim]

Teofimo Lopez and Steve Claggett both have quite high knockout ratios and are almost equal, anyone would also believe that they would not fight the full 12 rounds because the finish would definitely end in knockout.

Nowadays, a boxer with a 65% KO ratio is not already considered as high. IMO, a high is 90% up.

As per boxrec, Lopez has 65% Ko ratio while Claggett have %68... So both fighters are not really a KO artist, and this could go to distance.
Well, we never know what would happen but I like the chances of Lopez winning the fight again.

As of this writing, if you bet for Lopez to win via knock-out, the odds for that is @1.74.

Though a little bit low but for me that is still a attractive odds.

Not so attractive so I'd just bet on the KO odds as shared by bisdak. Imagine betting $1100 to win $100, that's crazy, I can't risk with that kind of odds although everyone believed that Lopez are gonna win this fight, but you know, upset happened in boxing anytime.

I like the over/under as well, maybe I'm taking the under 10.5. (tailing with bisdak here).

If this is the odds? maybe I will pass betting because the interest and the excitement seems to be gone when this kind of fight .

and besides the match up is mismatch for me but lets see what can Claggett give in this bout .

Yeah, Claggett is 6:1 underdog in this fight and maybe some of us here are going to skip on betting this fight as there are no value although there is one in the over and under 10.5 rounds. But for boxing fans, we are seeing Teo going to win this fight and will not go to the judges to score the fight.

Claggett though might be a good test for Teo, he has been out for quite sometime and so a light workout might do good for him in the future fight. So best of luck to those who are going to bet the under rounds, it is still at 1.8x if I'm not mistaken, so very appealing, but for me I will skip and just watch this fight unfolds.

Team Lopez has chose Claggett because he is an aggressive type which is a good fit to Teo's boxing style. This fight is for Teo to look good and if successful on this fight then i think Top Rank will give him an opponent which is ranked in the top 5.

Though i have not put my bet yet but most probably i will go for under 10.5 @1.8x or go directly to Lopez via knockout @1.7x.

I haven't placed my bet yet as well, but I might also go for under 10.5. I'm not too confident of this bet, though. I know Teofimo has power in his punches but he hasn't shown that in his past fights since Campa. Although this is different this time around since Claggett is probably not in Ortiz's or Taylor's caliber, but Claggett deserves this. He has fairly and squarely made his way into this title fight. He's been on a nice winning streak.

Teofimo via UD at 2.45 is a nice option as well. Claggett is old but he might survive a little rusty Lopez.

3 days before the fight , the votes favoring Lopez completely so i assume that Lopez will win this fight even without a knockout .

Claggett has 7 losses already so Teofimo should be able to beat him. Not sure if Teofimo can win by knockout because Claggett was only stopped once in his 7 losses and that indicates that he is tough. But the skills, Teofimo is highly favored.

But still, I am want an upset for the heavy underdog. Claggett is 11-1-9 KOs in his last 12 fights. Maybe he can hurt Teo and change the momentum of the fight. I voted for Claggett by knockout because there is no such thing as zero percent chance in this sport.

Make sense for a possible knockout win by Teo as well, and at 1.7, that is big already. I haven't seen highlights of Claggett, but if he is that aggressive then Lopez will bring the his best version as he always does for boxers who wants to test him.

So let's see, as I have said, I will just skip this one mate, but definitely I wanted Lopez to win so that he can challenge other champions and with Haney out and Matias upset by Paro, I think it's obvious that Teo is the man to beat at 140 lbs as he is the lineal and the best amongst the champion right now.
