    That fight between Lopez vs Commey is this Saturday yet I don’t hear much hype for it. Why is that?? I feel like this could be another barnburner! Definitely more excited for it then the actual main event which is Bud vs Mean Machine.

    I didn’t realise it was this weekend, excellent fight.

    It has it seems flown under the radar.

    When the big heavyweights fight it drowns out the little guys

    Because Teofimo taking 7 rounds to stop Terry Flanagan KO2 victim Diego Magdaleno, and the fact that he arguably got a gift against Masayoshi Nakatani kind of blunted some of the momentum he had.

    Lopez and his old man are a pair of wanka's and I hope Commey gives him a dose that will make him wish he was born a woman.

    I didn't even know the fight was made before today. Looking forward to that card and also want to see what Egidijus Kavaliauskas can do.

    I'm excited for it. I think Teo was distracted and bought into his hype before the Nakatani fight and Nakatani was tough and undefeated, and also tall. I think Teo will have an amazing performance on Saturday.

    Part of me gets the feeling that Teo might make a statement tomorrow. I’m mostly excited which of them is going to end up facing Loma next year.

    I honestly have no idea, there's a few variables that we all don't know the answer to. Like how well does Lopez take a punch, and can Commey take his power? Is it that Nakatani just has a next-level chin, or that Teofimo has overrated power? Commey was hurt badly in the 12th by Easter, and I'm willing to bet Teofimo has more power than Robert, but the question is, can he land it enough and take Commey out before he gets chin checked himself. Who knows. That's what makes tonight's match so interesting. One thing is for certain though, if it goes to the cards Lopez is winning. My heart says Richard, my brain says Teo.
