I like Taylor on decision win. Lopez wil have to hurt Taylor early or score a knockdown to get Taylor’s respect. Otherwise Taylor’s boxing ability will be too much for Lopez. Lopez doesn’t sound like he is a mentally in a good place
Does he ever sound like he’s in a good place mentally?
I think Teo’s getting starched tomorrow night. He’s got Taylor fired up and motivated. Taylor looks to have made weight without being drained, so he’ll be primed. He’s bigger than Teo and is more mobile/busier. Taylor tko 7
Taylor to me is the most overrated elite fighter in boxing. Got schooled by Catterall, I thought he lost to Regis. Wouldn’t give Catterall a rematch. Squeaked by Ramirez, who I’m not all that high on. Lopez seems unfocussed, but is clearly more talented than Taylor. I’ll pick Teo, but with very little confidence.
Yeah cause Lopez looked great in this last couple fights too.
Teo gets stopped in 10!! Taylor too mentally strong! Heck, he weathered Prograis!!!
I hope Taylor stops him. Lets GO Taylor!!
What a dumass. Ortiz doesn’t make weight after his promising showing against Loma???? Not a good way to win over a high profile fight.
Taylor is going to send Lopez into retirement hes too skilled and has faced much harder hitters in Ramirez and Prograis hes a southpaw who can box and Teoflimo is limited skill wise and his worst problem is his dad who is just not capable he should fire him and hire a real trainer but even then hes still limited he will fade away after a few more losses after he loses by KO to Taylor
i haven’t been impressed with either fighter in their recent fights, but teo seems to have really fallen after his impressive wins over commey and lomachenko.
