I also tire of ESPN's analysis of his family and thier building him up as an opponent for Loma. Tessitore recapped the Nakatani fight as one that Lopez "won easily" and blamed the entire poor performance on his personal issues. Too much propaganda.
Agreed. Kriegal looks foolish pumping soap opera romance from Teo and Shakur.
Teofimo did exactly what was needed in order to secure his shot against Lomachenko. Impressed with his power but aside from that I can't gauge too much of that performance since he took Commey out early.
I still have to favor Lomachenko based off of resume but Teofimo on paper and based off of the eye test is a viable threat to anyone at 135. Looking forward to a great match up.
I'm actually not surprised by the quick ending, because Commie's style suited Lopez. The Ghanaian fighter falls in a lot and I knew Lopez would be there to catch him. Commey relies too much on the one two, and he would have to fall into a shorter fighter to land the right hand. Lopez timed the jab and stepped in with his own shot which essentially ended the fight. Lopez still fights a little too squared up to beat lomachenko. Commey has inept clumsy stilt legged footwork, while the Ukrainian has some of the best footwork in the history of boxing. Lopez power will keep it interesting, but Lomachenko should walk away with a unanimous decision victory when they fight in April.
