[fullfitlarry]

I thought no one has created this thread, so thanks again @bisdak40.

I did watch the snippet of the first press conference and so far it looks like this two is respecting each other. Although it could be that they are just reading the body language. But it was said that Teo Lopez after coming from a lost is already focus on this one.

So let's see, it could be that this fight could be a good comeback for Teo and to win a belt again.

For me this fight is so interesting and as of now i have not pick on whose to bet. Teo Lopez might be the more skillful and popular of the two boxers but this is his first fight on the welterweight division where his power and speed has yet to be tested and he hasn't KO'ed opponent yet in the 140-lb division so there is a chance that Rolly Romero might pull an upset here like what he did in the Ryan Garcia fight. So far it is good that the bookies have placed Teo as the favorite on this match so that Romero fans could win more money once their hero wins .

Rolly finally returns almost a year and a half after that stunning upset of Ryan Garcia. The corrupt WBA didn’t enforce the mandatory he had against Giyasov and instead elevated him to super champion. We all know Rolly ducked Giyasov because Rolly is an overrated fighter who could lose at any point and is looking to cash out against a bigger name before that happens. He didn’t get Pacquiao or Haney and now has to settle for Teofimo.

Teofimo is a far better fighter and should win this if he can stay disciplined and fights intelligently. Rolly will be trying to land something big because winning by knockout is his best hope.

Also boils down on the strategy, and hopefully his father has still better plans for them after that lost against Shakur Stevenson. So the bookies favor Teo because of his technical skills. I still do believed that he can still have the power here and his chin might hold against the power of Romero.

So for now, we might see Teo as the more polished fighter. But if he is ever hit in the mouth and tasted the power of Rolly, then all those strategies might go out of the window. Teo should really shows his resilient and disciplined as he doesn't want to lose again.

It really comes down to the style of the fight. I do not think Teo can beat Shakur because Shakur is too quick and too difficult to hit.

Against Rolly, though, I think Teo has a much better chance. Still, I would not underestimate Rolly because many people already did that before, and he ended up beating Ryan Garcia. I even think Ryan is better than Teo, so I might bet on Rolly here if the odds are attractive or if he comes in as the underdog.

Either way, I think this fight will be entertaining and the fans will enjoy it. If it ends in a close decision, people will probably ask for a rematch, so both fighters need to put on a strong performance. That could make the matchup even bigger and possibly lead to another profitable fight in the future.

I agree that Rolly is an overrated boxer; his two losses are ugly to look at. He won the title because Ryan was coming from a long period of inactivity. If they fight now, I don't think he has a chance against Ryan.
All Teofimo has to do is fight intelligently. Rolly has an average IQ in boxing; he is all brawl. Teo needs to find angles to make Romero pay for his misses; he can take lessons from Rolly's two previous losses. I don't think Rolly can match Teo's ring generalship.

This is indeed to going to be a strong performance display coming from both boxers because there's so much as stake for both.
While Teo would be looking to win so he could move up into qualifying for a world title shot, Rolly would be looking to defend the title he won from Ryan.
Rolly could be a raw fighter but I don't think he has much tactical play up his sleeves of which Teo has and could use to out manuever him in the ring.
My fingers are crossed though, but I would place my bets on Teo if I could on that day.

I don't want to say that Rolly is underrated, but his upset win on Ryan could be Ryan's own doing, maybe he didn't prepare that much on that fight and thought that he could just outmuscled and outpowered Rolly just like what he did against Haney.

If they ran it a second time for sure Garcia might rethink his strategy and fight much better. So in this match, I don't think that Teo will be like that. As I have said, in the press conference, I can't remember if Teo or his father that says that he is very focus on this fight and ready by Aug 22.

Maybe part of it was Ryan Garcia's doings coming into the fight but the thing is we know for sure that Rolly Romero has the power and Teo lopez should respect that power of Rolly to avoid the same fate he suffered when he fought George Kambosos. On that fight he was the aggressor and Kambosos was just patiently waiting Teo to commit mistakes then he countered, if the same strategy Rolly will use against a smaller Teo i wouldn't be surprised if Teo will loss this one. This fight is an exciting one as we don't know who will win until the final bell will sound.

It's more on mind games that time and obviously Kambosos was able to get into Teo's that's why early on Teo just try to go and look for a knockout. But Kambosos is well prepared that's why he was able to score a knockdown and that is enough for him to secure a win.

But after that, it seems the Teo has learn his lessons already, but then against Shakur, it was their style clash and he was no match. But here I think he has a better chance against Rolly. But as you have said, he should play defense as Romero has some serious power specially in his left hook. If might not be a beauty like Ryan's left hook, but Rolly's version has power in it.

This will be the chance of Teo to win another championship and become ready to have a superfight against the boxer the will give him the biggest purse. This will be King Ry!

I speculate that if King Ry vs. Teo will be real, King Ry will win this fight. King Ry is bigger and has longer arms. He also has a very strong hooking punch on right and left hands! However, the left hook will give him the victory with a knockout!

I would love to see Ryan vs Teo as well. We all know that this 4 boxers, Teo, Haney, Tank and Ryan as supposedly being compared to the legends before them. Unfortunately we haven't seen Ryan vs Teo or Tank vs Teo or Haney.

But I think this will be the best fight. Two trash talkers and are very competitive, with Ryan with his left hook and Teo maybe with his ring IQ.

So hopefully after this fight, we might see another super fight between this two.

Same here, but please do not include Haney in that group because he could make the fight boring.

We want boxers who are willing to engage and fight toe-to-toe, not those who only rely on quickness, movement, and scoring points.

Rolly, Tank, Teo, and Ryan are the kind of boxers who can provide real entertainment. They are exciting to watch, and fighters like them are one of the reasons boxing continues to attract fans.

However, King Ry has also been witnessed to have a power punch with also his right hook! The opponents of King Ry should be careful and presently should not underestimate him because he might also have an uppercut as his next surprise power punch heheheheh.

In any case, I also speculate a bigger superfight for King Ry and this fight might bring him to become the boxer that will bring more popularity and demand. King Ry versus Pacman and it will be uncle Dana and the Arab billionaire master Turki who will bring this with a partnership with Pacman's team.

[fullfitlarry]

^^ That will be a blockbuster fight for Ryan Garcia, if he were able to get to Manny as we all know that fight the legend is like winning a sweepstakes. Although I think that Ryan can bring fans as well to watch that fight that's why it's going to be huge.

And since you are a fan of Rocky or Stallone @bbc.reporter, you should watch this film,



So it's a dude playing a dude, who is acting as another dude.

Well we can say that Haney is a boring fighter, I do too see him that way. But we can't deny what he has accomplished and I will say that he is the more proficient as he has won belts early on. Rolly just burst out of the scene because he lost to Tank Davis. So I think Haney should be in the discussion as well.

He was a nobody that time and became well known even if he lost that fight. While Ryan become a champion and so is Teo. But then Tank, of out of the 4 he is the one that should carry the torch. Unfortunately, wrong decisions in life caused his career to be stalled while the rest has move up in the division make money.

As I believe this fight will be decided by the scorecards, I think this is going to favor Teofimo. He's generally the more athletic fighter. He can counter quite well. He's got the higher ring IQ and makes full use of the space. It seems Rolly's game is just to throw that single shot that ends the fight. He doesn't have that much combination. He's flat-footed. If Teofimo won't be looking for a knockout himself and would rather be patient scoring points, he might get this with a UD.

But the thing with Teofimo Lopez is that he hasn't KO'ed opponents yet when he move up to the 140-lb division, his power for me is questionable but you are right, between the two Lopez has the edge of ring IQ. Personally, i'm leaning more to Rolly Romero in this fight if the odds is juicy enough then i would go for him. Romero needs just be patient and time his counter and hopefully he could hurt Teo early in the rounds because that would prevent him to be aggressive and filed points.

Hehehehehe this will certainly be a very good movie to watch for boxing fans! I have also subscribed to Amazon Prime because the Rocky movies are all there. I will watch from Rocky 1 which is my favorite to Rocky 4. The others are not anymore included for me very much similar to the Gladiator part 2! They do not need to create this movie!

In any case, on King Ry vs. Pacman, I very much speculate that uncle Dana and the rich Arab billionaire master Turki wants this fight and promote this.

Yes, love them or hate them, Uncle Dana and HE Turki wanted the best fight so for sure they are looking at this in the future. And even before they enter boxing, king Ry wanted to fight the best of our generation in Pacman. He even chances his Twitter picture before to Manny. And he said numerous times that his idol is Manny and he wants to fight him.
