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

[TastyChillySauce00]

This fight is nearly approaching and i browsed the odds of this fight, nothing significant has change still Teo Lopez is the heavy favorite to win this matchup. I have not made up my mind yet on whom to bet but the odds for Rolly Romero to win by decision is very attractive considering that this will Lopez first fight at the welterweight then i think betting for Romero is worth a try.

I'd be going for Teo by decision. I put Teo's durability as the thing that can help him to win this even by decision. I know Rolly seems underrated here, but i don't like his consistency.

Romero is a one hit wonder until proven otherwise. He has lost to Pitbull Cruz, one of the most one dimensional fighters I can think of. He also should have lost to Barroso who was 40 and looked closer to 50 years old.

It's the thing that gives me guts to bet on Teo. Rolly got beaten by average boxers while he's also doing pretty well against high rated boxers. His up and down is making it so hard to guess whether he's good or bad boxers.
So i can hope he will be doing badly in this game like he did when he lost to Cruz. So Teo can take his first win game in the current weight.

Although I love Teo, but I would agree that maybe Romero here is worth a try. It looks like he is also riding high on his upset win against Ryan Garcia. And so being a underdog here, and with that kind of odds specially by decision, it's really attractive to bet.

Still some weeks though, but if you can lock in your bet this early, you still might get a better odds for him. I don't think that the odds might change in favor of Romero, maybe just a small movement and that's it.

I very much disagree on your assessment that Rolly Romero might be underestimated for this fight because he won against King Ry. Rolly is being given a storyline that he is better than what the odds make him appear to be, however, this is not correct. It was King Ry who did not perform according to his real level as a boxer. I speculate that this is because of the father Henry. He might not be the correct trainer for him.

But the question is Rolly Romero is really that good? Or he is just one hit pony for all we know? I don't know who's given him that storyline that he is better than what the odds are showing. So I don't that Las Vegas odds makers are going to do that.

If not train by his father, who do you think might be a better trainer for him? Removed Reynoso in the equation. Teddy Atlas? or Robert Garcia?

What is this argument from you? You say before that Rolly Romero is worth a try because he might be a good boxer after the victory everyone has witnessed against King Ry? However, presently you are questioning him? This is headshaking heheheh. In your original argument, I replied that you might be making an assumption that Rolly is better than his underdog odds and you presently appear to be making my argument against you for me heheheheh.

You might have misunderstood me, You said that he has given that storyline, if so then he might really be that good?

And I don't know who is giving that storyline line to begin with? It is the fans? or the community? Or it is just you that assuming that Rolly is really that good?

I'm also confused.

It's the thing that gives me guts to bet on Teo. Rolly got beaten by average boxers while he's also doing pretty well against high rated boxers. His up and down is making it so hard to guess whether he's good or bad boxers.
So i can hope he will be doing badly in this game like he did when he lost to Cruz. So Teo can take his first win game in the current weight.

If Isaac Cruz is considered an average boxer, then George Kambosos Jr. should probably be considered average too. Both fighters already have two losses and both have been beaten before. With that, I would not really take Teo to win by decision at those odds. For me, the more enticing bet with better value is still Rolly winning by decision.

Kambosos was also an average boxer. However, Teo's lost to him is already in 2021. Teo has improved a lot compared since then, and his fight against Shakur was the proof though he lost it.
He gave a tough fight to the Shakur, and he also proven how durable he was by received so many punches from Shakur, but he could still stand.

The fight between Rolly Romero and Teo Lopez is going to be a tough one , both are excellent fighters with their own unique fit . Rolly fighting style is quite aggressive and unpredictable with his weapon with is his power , his punch usually come with lot of force , while Teo in the other hand is quite faster when come two the fighter . I’ve watched both fighters fought In the ring, so it won’t be an easy pick  . A fight between WBA     welterweight champion and a former WBO junior-welterweight champion.

In an interview with DAZN, Rolly made the claim that Manny Pacquiao ducked him. It is a funny thing for him to be saying when he’s been out of the ring for 15 months because he didn’t want to fight his mandatory. He also ducked Ryan Garcia when he was with Mayweather Promotions and Al Haymon convinced him to fight Isaac Cruz instead, where he got knocked out. Rolly has never been a big enough name for Pacquiao to even consider him until the Ryan fight, and even then it made more sense for Manny to fight Barrios with a better risk/reward ratio and then go after Mayweather.

If Isaac Cruz is considered an average boxer, then George Kambosos Jr. should probably be considered average too. Both fighters already have two losses and both have been beaten before. With that, I would not really take Teo to win by decision at those odds. For me, the more enticing bet with better value is still Rolly winning by decision.

Teo has a win against prime Lomachenko, and that far exceeds anything Romero has done. He was arguably the undisputed champion, if you want to recognize the WBC Franchise title holder as the real WBC champion.  Teo lost to Kambosos when his health was not great and the match got delayed for a long time because of money issues and Teo getting COVID.

He also recovered from the loss and went on to beat Josh Taylor. He isn’t the most consistent fighter, but he is on another level compared to Rolly.

The betting odds already say a lot, and Im sure that's also what many bettors see, thats why Teo is the heavy favorite to win. So now it really depends on where we want to put our money. Favorites don't always win, and an upset in boxing is nothing new. On paper, I also see Teo as the better boxer. But personally, I don't fully trust fighters who already have losses, especially when the odds are too low.

Boxing, first and foremost, is a sport
But it has been commercialized, turning a pure sport into a mix of sport and entertainment that allows organizers to make money.
However, this phenomenon isn’t unique to boxing-it applies to any spectator sport. Even the Olympics and world championships are shows and businesses. If people are willing to pay, someone is bound to monetize it. On the other hand, professional athletes receive very high compensation for the risks involved, and let’s not forget that virtually any sport involves the risk of injury, whether they’re paid for it or not.
I can give you many examples from a vast array of sports where, unfortunately, athletes suffer injuries and even disabilities...

That's how been sports is even at the start, it goes back historically to gladiators wherein everyone is watching for entertainment. As Maximus of the movie gladiator once said,

Are you not entertained?

And that's what my point is, it's entertainment and so they wanted to be pay handsomely. But you argument says that they don't need to trash talk in press conference to sell the fights. But if they don't then how can they sell the tickets and make the fans wanting more even before the fight even started? So we can say today that trash talking is part of any sports.

Gladiatorial combat is something a little different. It’s part of the "bread and circuses" model organized by rulers. That bloody spectacle is a far cry from the sport I’m talking about.
Back when I was active, I competed in an amateur league and played for a team. We held competitions, gained experience, fought matches, and racked up victories to achieve a higher status, but we didn’t receive any financial compensation- just like sports clubs. Those who switched to professional boxing likely ended up in "commercial sports", where it was turned into a spectacle and a business.


I really hope that these guys, in the heat of battle, won’t forget about friendship and their responsibility for their friend’s health!

I think Teofimo Lopez will win this boxing match. In my opinion, he's superior to Rolly Romero in almost every way. 🙋

Lopez is younger, faster, and more technical than Romero. Rolly Romero could try to knock him out in the early rounds, but I'm confident Teofimo Lopez is prepared and can avoid the risk. Rolly Romero is aggressive, but that's unlikely to intimidate Teofimo Lopez or disrupt his rhythm...

In my opinion, the extra weight will only make Lopez's punches stronger. He has a powerful punch and high speed... Therefore, I expect the fight to end in a knockdown (TKO) or even a knockout.👊

Go for Teo. Teo's lost to shakur was something else compared to the Rolly's lose to Cruz. If you watched his game against Shakur, you would be amazed with how intense he was in that fight. Imagine an alite boxer like shakur who being considered as high iq in boxing unable to take down him.
Based on that you know how good Teo is.  

BTW, i will also show my betslip when we're just days away from the game.

Kambosos was also an average boxer. However, Teo's lost to him is already in 2021. Teo has improved a lot compared since then, and his fight against Shakur was the proof though he lost it.
He gave a tough fight to the Shakur, and he also proven how durable he was by received so many punches from Shakur, but he could still stand.

I can't forget that fight when Kambosos defeated Teo Lopez as the odds was @18x and i hit it. My thinking at that time is that the win of Teo Lopez against Loma was just luck so i bet against him when he faced Kambosos and the rest is history.

Shakur is just too quick for Teo and there is no way that he could beat him that is why this fight with Rolly Romero is some sort of a comeback fight for him and Romero's style is tailored fit for Teo and he might look good on this one, i mean Rolly loves to engaged and that is what Lopez wanted in an opponent.

But honestly i am having a hard time picking on whose to bet on this fight as Rolly Romeo might land a solid punch that would hurt Lopez coming in and Teo will stop being aggressive just like what happened to the Kambosos fight.

You are right with your instinct, so I also dont think its impossible for Rolly to upset Teo. If we compare them, I would even rate Rolly higher than Kambosos.

The problem with Teo is sometimes he is not that technical and he loses control, he likes to go toe to toe because he trusts his power too much and thats where he can make mistakes. If that happens in this fight, then I think even a KO loss for Teo is possible.

I meant even if it's too early for Teo to beat Shakur, Teo gave a tough fight like a warrior who can't be knocked down by Shakur. So give him + for his durability when he fought one of best fighter. This is why i think Rolly won't be more difficult than Shakur.
Beside that Kambosos fight happened at 2021, do you think Teo will use time machine then go back when he fought Kambosos? It's been 5 years since then, and current Teo is not what he used when he lost to Kambosos.

Yes, we can say that Rolly could be a better fighter than Kambosos. But this fight happens in a lower weight and the atmosphere that time was different. With all the trash talking before the actual fight, Teo might have abandoned his plans that's why he was caught.

The problem with Teo is sometimes he is not that technical and he loses control, he likes to go toe to toe because he trusts his power too much and thats where he can make mistakes. If that happens in this fight, then I think even a KO loss for Teo is possible.

Yes, maybe he was hurt and just wanted to go brawl with his opponents. But it's hard to brawl against Rolly as he might be caught by a surprised left hook just like when Ryan was caught. So Teo should control himself here in order to win the fight.

[lionheart78]

I picked Teofimo Lopez to win this match as long as he maintains his coolness and doesn't engage head-on.  It would be devastating for Lopez if he caught the heavy punches of Romero. But I believe Lopez is a smart person and will know the best approach to nullify Romero's punching power.

Lopez has the move and discipline to have an advantage against Romero, so better for Teo to avoid fighting Romero toe to toe and use the ring instead, and except if Lopez's weakness gets exploited, the one that got him knocked down during Pacquiao's match.

[bbc.reporter]

This fight is nearly approaching and i browsed the odds of this fight, nothing significant has change still Teo Lopez is the heavy favorite to win this matchup. I have not made up my mind yet on whom to bet but the odds for Rolly Romero to win by decision is very attractive considering that this will Lopez first fight at the welterweight then i think betting for Romero is worth a try.

Although I love Teo, but I would agree that maybe Romero here is worth a try. It looks like he is also riding high on his upset win against Ryan Garcia. And so being a underdog here, and with that kind of odds specially by decision, it's really attractive to bet.

Still some weeks though, but if you can lock in your bet this early, you still might get a better odds for him. I don't think that the odds might change in favor of Romero, maybe just a small movement and that's it.

I very much disagree on your assessment that Rolly Romero might be underestimated for this fight because he won against King Ry. Rolly is being given a storyline that he is better than what the odds make him appear to be, however, this is not correct. It was King Ry who did not perform according to his real level as a boxer. I speculate that this is because of the father Henry. He might not be the correct trainer for him.

But the question is Rolly Romero is really that good? Or he is just one hit pony for all we know? I don't know who's given him that storyline that he is better than what the odds are showing. So I don't that Las Vegas odds makers are going to do that.

If not train by his father, who do you think might be a better trainer for him? Removed Reynoso in the equation. Teddy Atlas? or Robert Garcia?

What is this argument from you? You say before that Rolly Romero is worth a try because he might be a good boxer after the victory everyone has witnessed against King Ry?

I'm also confused.

A storyline is something similar to a fake news where the fans are manipulated by this storyline. Read our discussion again and it is very much clear that you have said that Rolly is worth a try hehehehe. This also makes it appear that you are implying that Rolly is being underestimated and he is better than what the odds are implying to everyone.

After my reply to you, you have said is Rolly really that good or is he a hit pony which is showing that your are arguing against your original argument where you have said Rolly might he worth a try.

Hehehehe also, you are escaping the argument by creating your own storyline that I have assumed Rolly is really a good boxer? Read in my posts about Rolly Romero, I never assumed that Rolly is a very good boxer.

[bisdak40]

I can't forget that fight when Kambosos defeated Teo Lopez as the odds was @18x and i hit it. My thinking at that time is that the win of Teo Lopez against Loma was just luck so i bet against him when he faced Kambosos and the rest is history.

The problem with Teo is sometimes he is not that technical and he loses control, he likes to go toe to toe because he trusts his power too much and thats where he can make mistakes. If that happens in this fight, then I think even a KO loss for Teo is possible.

Yup, you are right that there is a possibility that Teo could lose his cool just like what we witnessed in the Shakur fight that he kept on moing forward trying to hit Shakur but in the process he is the one being hit and countered. I could say that Rolly Romero is much better than Kambosos and both has the same fighting style more or less that could possibly create problem for Teo so with that being said i'm going for Rolly Romero to win this fight via decision.

[stadus]

that being said i'm going for Rolly Romero to win this fight via decision.

Great decision, this time maybe we will see that the bookies really overestimated Teo here with those very attractive odds. I wouldn't really call it a trap or something, I would go with your prediction too because I can't really say no to that value.

Rolly can pull another surprise, and since Teo has never lost by KO, then losing by decision looks like the more possible outcome.
