    Multiple KDs and winning rounds because every shot seems to rattle Lomachenko and make him gun shy. It wouldn't be a schooling, but more a power differential.

    I'm just having a look at some of Lomas old weigh ins & the likes of Crolla & Campbell are bigger than Lopez, Campbell dwarfed him, admittedly Lopez is young & will fill out more but the size was overplayed a little bit even tho he is bigger framed

    Pakkuman has responded for me. I think if Lopez can shake Loma, the fight goes in a different direction to most Loma fights.

    Loma actually likes and needs to get inside. If Lopez makes him respect the distance with his power, its a different fight.

    Damn some ppl seem to have forgotten who Loma is lol.. suddenly a big mouth comes along who scraped by Nakatani & KOd 1D Commey (who has beaten NO ONE!) & suddenly he's an ATG killer .. wtf! I'm not totally writing Lopez off, no one is invincible but that's fkin Lomachenko he's facing not some clueless chinless wonder :lol:.. keep milking that Linares KD if it helps tho

    I saw them both with Max Kellerman. Lopez looks like he's going to catch leather. I don't like his focus. Lomo looked like he knows exactly what to do.

    Lomo should win, and year later this will be viewed as a top win as I think Lopez can win a belt at 135, or 140 sometime in his career.

    Lopez's sole chance is his power, which appears to be very, very legit. No one thinks Lopez is going to outbox Lomachenko. He will be the heaviest hitter Lomachenko has ever faced and Lopez is quick and explosive with his shots.

    I read he wants to drown him in the deep end of the pool, something tells me Lopez will quit

    No surprises at the weigh in. Both guys look fit and ready to lay it on the line. Loma is always calm and in great shape. Lopez looks ready and bigger framed.

    I’m still picking Loma but he’s been inactive for longer than ever in his pro career. That could be trouble for a guy who relies on stamina and technical precision boxing. Lopez is going to use his size and power and I don’t think the layoff will affect him as much.

    Don’t be fooled by the pre fight hype. Both guys are pros and will stick to the plan. I’m looking forward to the biggest fight of 2020, at least in my book.

    I think Lopez's gameplan is to sit back and throw hard counters.

    Maybe, Loma did say he wanted to go the full 12, he didn't want to finish this early, so he didn't say "I'm gonna blast him out" so he might not be angry or irritated, could well be messing with Lopez.

    I think a firefight is going to break out. Much more than people realize.

    Have a good feeling that Lopez knows he can't fight off the back foot as he likes to and try to rip monster counters. Loma is too good and he knows it. He see's a 32yo man that hasn't fought in 14months, knows he's bigger, stronger and younger, the only way forward is to bring the fight to him hard and push Loma backwards which nobody has ever done before.

    On the other hand Loma loves fighting in close quarters and realizes he needs to stay in close to take the heat off those punches coming in.

    There's no way there won't be good exchanging. Pride and bad blood will have them going for the kill.

    My redhead is hotter than your redhead. Of course she's dead but whatever.

    Loma looking more and more like a crazed smaller Usyk.

    I thought Loma was fighting but that must be Usyk surely, looks like a Cruiserweight.

    How that man can make 135 I don't know, but RIP his kidneys!!!

    Must be scared of the big boys @ 147 what a pussycat
