this snuck up on me. super fucking amped up for this one. no idea what to expect. I think any and all different outcomes are on the table. cant fucking wait.

Even if this ends up being a dud, it's still such a meaningful fight. One of the most meaningful to be made in that division. Here's to hoping the young upstart upends the old man.

It'll go the same way how this always goes....the og gonna tame the young lion

Same like Floyd did to canelo....
Same like Oscar did to Chavez
Same like lebron did to Murray, jokic,and butler

Lopez is great he'll have his time...the kids a star just like canelo hes gonna make millions hes special no doubt about it....but loma is the og

Best in ring performer since Floyd hes gonna take Lopez to school how Floyd did to canelo period

Ya. I feel this too. I just dont want it to happen.

The only time we see Loma in trouble is when hes trying to crowd please. If he settles to just outbox Lopez...itll be one of those old on young masterclasses.

Irish Moe is so dumb. Or drunk. Or both.

Yea, its one of those fights you do and don't want to see.
But these fights should happen.
Lopez shouldn't feel any pressure.
Lopez just has to relax and see what happens.
WE all know this isn't something he's seen before.

Looking forward to it!

both guys are great and technically sound, Loma obviously more proven against much better competition. but I think this may turn into a bit of a macho slugfest.

Loma to smart he knows Lopez is huge clearly the bigger stronger man...he won't be foolish enough to open up to much and exchange cuz he knows that's the only chance Lopez has to win

Loma just gonna touch and tap him give him a lesson...I already hear all the excuses tailor made.
Lopez and his dad have problems it sounds like Lopez gonna change to a real trainer after this fight

Poor kid wants daddys approval and love desperately sounds pretty pathetic to me

Lopez will be ruined in this fight. Loma doesn't like him so he is gonna punish Teo a bit more... Lopez will not be the same after this fight because of all the internal damage he's going to suffer...

This fight is going to be the spitting image of Jeff Lacy vs Joe Calzhage...Teo being Lacy of course... remember prior to that fight all they talked about was Lacy's power and his left hook... this fight it's Teo's power and straight right hand... he will not land on significant punch with his right hand in this fight...

Lopez's corner throws in the towl in round 8......

Lopez will be fine just like canelo was after Floyd schooled him... He'll chalk it up to losing to a generational talent same like canelo did

Lopez father is horrible he needs to get a real trainer to take him to that next level... Shields,Reynosa, he needs to get himself 1 of the top guys
His father is a thug lowlife living vicariously thru his son its pathetic

Teo said himself in this blood sweat and tears show he loves boxing and training his son more than he loves his son.. Teo said that he wants him to be a father sometimes not a trainer it obviously bother two he was almost in tears

Sad stuff man and I already see that will be teos main excuse wen he gets schooled...even if he wins I could see him still changing trainers

I swear i reread that 3 times like... tf?

Moe when did you become such an alpha?

I'm all in on this one, and the k my way I will be disappointed, is if Loma puts on a one sided clinic.
Lopez needs to make this a fight.. If he does, I think the rest take care of itself and we will all be satisfied, maybe even shocked and ecstatic.

leave it to Moe to shit on a fighter by talking about his family relationships.
Talking about love, tears, and daddy and dumbshit.
Sumin' going on in your life Moe?

This shits gonna be legit, I waana see what kind of plan Teo has

Teo is fuckin corny and cringeworthy when he speaks. I still will be rooting for him but as of right now i am leaning with Loma by decision. But Teo looks so much bigger i think his plan is to come forward and bang, force those exchanges. He definitely can hurt Loma and get him out of there, especially to the body.

The only way Loma can get him out of there is how Loma has gotten others out of there, frustration and retiring in the corner. If López really does have issues with his dad it could spill out into the fight.

As gay as Irish Moe is that is key to pick up on, Teo is an emotional dude, before his last fight i thought he was emotional when talking about his new wife and their issues but then he slept Commey in 2 rounds.

It’s either Loma by decision or Teo by KO. I dont really see it any other way.

I agree that TEO's best shot is to come out banging. But that shit is double edged, as Loma is a hella counter puncher. But if he tries to out box Loma, its an 11-1 type cleaning for loma.

I find this fight so intriguing because it's the first major step for any of the class who I feel "got next"

The next 3-5 years the biggest names in the sport will be

Teo
Tank
Ryagar
Haney
Stevenson

Those 5 will all mature right around welter....and it'll be up to them to see if they make the superfights going forward.

But to get there, they all gotta establish themselves.
Tank is on ppv now.... So you would think that's the head start.... But naw....Teo wins Saturday.... He clearly steps over the rest of the crop and rises straight to the top.


I'm rooting hard for Teo...

This would be the epitome of seeing greatness born...

This is that moment where people switch their arguments down the road. Right now Loma is THE MAN.

Loma not too old. Teo is not too young.

Those excuses don't cut it.... This is the real deal. Teo loses, then he just fell short. He had his shot, he absolutely had to take it.

But if he wins....I don't wanna hear shit down the road and Loma being too old and not in his prime. I don't wanna hear shit about covid. I don't wanna hear no excuse.... If Teo wins crown him.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

I don't think Loma ever really beat "the man" to get where he is.... Maybe that's why it's hard for me to root for him... But it is what it is......Teo will be the man if he gets this win

I'm rooting for Teo but I think Loma will win by decision. It'll be a close fight but Loma takes over down the stretch and starts beating Teo up a bit. Would be crazy to see Teo sleep Loma but I can definitely see it happening. Can't wait.

Bro loma detrosyed all these so called boogymen....
Russell,Walters, Campbell, Linares he killed these guys beat the breaks off them

Walters was the axe man he hasn't fought since loma cut his ASS.... Everyone was saying that was a 50-50) fight

I think Loma is a 4 to 1 favorite last I saw and that's about right.
Teo is hard to listen to and I don't think he has the confidence he is trying to project.
Loma was staring straight through the man and Teo's was stammering and eyes darting all over while giggling and smiling with that nervous way. Maybe that is just the way it is, but its not going to have anything to do with the relationships going on in his life. Its going to be about how is handles his mind when he realizes Loma is on a differnt level not just with the IQ, but speed and footwork. Loma isn't going to be there.

Most pros understand Teo has something special and everyone wants to see this fight. But you ask Linares who I've seen talk on LOma more than any other opponent. What Loma did to RIgo was otherworldy. And Walters. People just quit and rightfully so. Their minds broke.

Like Floyd, Loma is big on reflex building drills and development of functional strength and sustainable speed instead of raw power. Lopez is gonna have to get in his wheel house and fight dirty and rough. he aint winning a boxing match with Loma, he dont have that kind of pedigree. Hes not a Haney or Stevenson. He gotta do it like Castillo did Floyd, which aint even saying much since Floyd beat him twice.
