    Hasn't got the same marque value, but I see this fight as similar to the Floyd-Canelo fight.

    A P4P elite guy against a bigger, much younger champion who has looked very impressive.

    Pac is too big for Loma. Dont give me no bs about height and reach its about weight and strength. Loma is a small 135lber never mind going up to 140 against a power house WW like Manny. You are absolutely correct, Manny obliterates Loma. Too strong.

    Whovever wins gets credit from me. I give credit already to Lopez for stepping up at a young age and daring to be great.

    Lomachenko is taller than Pac. Pac is smaller on fight night than Linares and Campbell and only 2-3 pounders heavier than Gervonta Davis. Size is not the issue.

    my bad you are not a biased loma fanboy like some others i run across here

    but yes i will give loma full credit for beating teo


    there is a difference between being in you're early 20 's and a prospect level and being in your early 20's and at a championship level


    teo is in the championship level his KO over commey solidified that .

    i rate loma highly once in a generation fighter this fight is the best one of the year

    Haters gonna hate.

    I don't care what you guys think, if Loma beats Lopez to further unify the division its another seal on his greatness.

    Linares and Campbell are both 150+ on fight night. Davis was 146.6 in his last fight. Bogere was 152 as was Fortuna.

    Thurman, Rios, Beltran, and Mikey all said Pac is basically a lightweight. Pac won't be heavier than 150 on fight night.

    I don't think Lopez is a one punch knockout artist. He has power but i think he's more of an accumulative type puncher. Loma should win.

    Loma's chin is questionable especially in a fight like this

    I think it'll come down to Ring IQ and stamina. Lopez has fought 80 rounds as a pro in contrast to Loma who's fought 131 rounds albeit with a lower KO rate.

    I think the question is how both guys will adapt and what pace will be set early on in the fight. If i was Lopez i'd try to make it an ugly dogfight and apply effective pressure and keep that effective pressure throughout the fight.

    I think that's what the other fighters have failed to do with Lomachenko is not keep an intense pace over the distance. I think Lopez might be capable but the lack of rounds in the pros puts a question mark over it for me.

    Agree ,ever since the linares fight critics have been calling for loma to face a fighter with punching power .

    Well this is it. If loma survives teos shots. There is no questioning his chin even further

    They learned that from the Mayweather haters. So predictable!

    He was set to fight the big punching and way bigger Commey in a unification match up after the Linares fight and that was his first fight back after shoulder surgery too.

    And Campbell might not hit as hard as Teo but he's a big puncher too. Big enough to have dropped Teo in sparring and many fighters who've shared a ring with him, either in a real fight or sparring, or who have seen him up close in the gym have praised his power.
