[Boxing] Rolly Romero vs Teo Lopez WBA welterweight title - Aug.22

[stadus]

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.

I’m not sure Pacman would agree to that fight. King Ry is still young, strong, and active, while Pacman is already older. Pacman is a legend, but I don’t think he would risk his health by fighting a much younger boxer who could seriously hurt him.

Of course, Pacman has never been known as someone who is afraid of another boxer. But honestly, I don’t believe this rumored fight with King Ry will happen. I think Pacman is more focused on a possible fight with Mayweather, probably an exhibition match. That seems more likely to happen.

The better for Ryan to fight Teo after this game. It will be much more entertaining to watch instead watch him to fight an old guy like PacMan, though he's PacMan fan.
The fact that Ryan has never fought Teo. So it can build another hype.

PacMan's game against Mayweather already delayed for indefinite time. So it's possible to hold a fight between Ryan against PacMan. However, i'd still prefer to watch Ryan to fight Teo after Teo kickin' Rolly's ass.

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!

Before becoming Tony Stark. 

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.

What do you speculate on uncle Dana and the rich Arab billionaire master Turki's Zuffa boxing promotion? Will this become as big as Top Rank, Matchroom or Golden Boy boxing promotions? It appears that they might begin improving boxing as a business and as a sport.

I very much wish Zuffa will become bigger so we can witness more superfights similar to Bud Crawford vs. Canelo!

@bbc.reporter - with that deep pocket? HE Turki has one of the biggest stable of fighters.

He even had a lot of fights that other promoters didn't have a chance to put up, like Usyk and Fury and all other heavyweights. So it's obvious that they are bigger already. And we can see that even ODLH, Bob Arum and others have been in contact with the rich arab.

As far as Pacman fighting a young Ryan, that's what Pacman wants, to proved that he can still fight those boxers even half of his age. So still a win-win for him.

For real? I haven’t read any news saying that Pacman wants to fight King Ry. Could you share a link or source for that?

It would be interesting to see them fight, but I think Pacman is already too old to face someone like Ryan. Pacman may still believe that he can beat him, but his body might not cooperate anymore. I still remember how he struggled against that young Japanese boxer who was probably around the same height as Ryan. So honestly, I don’t really like this matchup.

It seems like Pacquiao is still interested in fighting, especially if there is a chance for a championship bout. He has been looking for that kind of opportunity, but so far, nothing has been finalized.

Still, I believe it could happen. Whatever rumors are out there, Pac-Man just needs to keep moving forward and look for the best possible fight. Of course, fighting a younger opponent could be dangerous because that fighter may be taller, stronger, and fresher. But Pacquiao still has the skills, experience, and confidence of a legend. That is why I still trust him.

Current odds show Lopez with a (-230) advantage over Rolando Romero with a (+178) advantage in their highly anticipated fight on August 22, 2026, in Las Vegas for the WBA Welterweight Championship. Most betting agencies consider Terfemo Lopez the favorite.

Lopez is a former world champion in two different weight classes and possesses superior technical skills with which he has faced big names. There is a clear advantage of approximately 65% ​​to 70%, as experts expect him to win either by judges' decision or by knockout in the later rounds.

That is one thing that really separates Manny from Floyd. Pacquiao is willing to take the risk to fight young guys, like when he fought like Keith Thurman or even Barrios.

As for this fight, it's only 4 weeks so for sure both of this boxers are in the height of their trainer. Teo though is still the favorite in this fight, although we can't discount that Romero just need one good punch to put Teo down.

The thing that goes with Teo though, is that Rolly is a brawler and not that technical. And in his recent lost to Shakur, it looks like the weakness of Teo is fighter that can play good defense and Rolly doesn't have that.

It appears that we might witness that there will be no avoidance on the occurrence that uncle Dana will also be the king of boxing promotion in the world similar to what he has done on the sport of MMA. This will certainly not happen without the help of the rich Arab billionaire master Turki.

Also if uncle Dana will become the king of boxing promotion in the world, I speculate that there will be a higher chance of a Pacman vs. King Ry superfight!

Yeah, that is the difference. I also think Teo has a decent chance against Rolly, and we could see a very entertaining fight because they have similar styles. Both of them like to attack and try to finish the fight early. That is the kind of action we want to see, not something slow and boring.

I like boxers with that aggressive Mexican-style approach. I hope more fighters like them can dominate the sport so boxing can regain its reputation as a sport for real fights, not just a running show.
