Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Lightweight Unification fight
Teofimo Lopez is only 22 years of age, even though he is a good fighter and lightweight titleholder but experience does matter in boxing.
Whenever this match date is decided and it is available in sportsbooks I will bet for Lomachenko. Even if Lopez lose the match, it will be a honor for him to play against Lomachenko.
Experience will be a huge factor in this bout. One more is their opponents. Some of Loma's opponents are popular, strong and familiar for me (Rigondeaux & Linares).Whenever this match date is decided and it is available in sportsbooks I will bet for Lomachenko. Even if Lopez lose the match, it will be a honor for him to play against Lomachenko.
In Lopez' 15 fights, 12 ended in KO (80% KO rate) which is already a sign that he is a power puncher.
I don't want to underestimate Lopez but anything can happen right now since the Ruiz-Joshua 1 fight
. Betting on Lopez right now has risk but the reward is good .I'd go for Loma in this fight by KO (just a prediction).
.Watching both their (Lomachengco and Lopez) fight highlights, I can say this fight will end in a knockout and I think Lomachencko really had an advantage in this fight both in experience and quickness. But that does not mean a guaranteed win for Lomachenko since Lopez had an arsenal of his own, power punch and good counters. I believe this fight can go either way since we don't know who will be the first one to land the killer punch. I would go for the underdog (Lopez) since I always love to see an upset win.
