My thoughts on Lopez-Kambosos

watching it for first time now.
1st rd.
teo the agressor, showing little respect for kambosos who is looking to counter. teo winning rd clearly when a perfectly timed and quick overhand right takes his legs at the end of the rd. i have the rd even, with the knock down.
(in between rds, this was the advice given to teo immediately after having been dropped. "hes done, watch yourself. thats why i said, time, take your time.... bro, the right hand is working, finish him already, wtf is going on? allright, just relax...that was off balance, that wasnt a hard shot, you were off balance. it didnt even hurt you. now eat this mother ****er now.")
rd 2
close rd. both connected some hard eye catching shots. teo connected more by virtue of throwing more. 2nd rd.to teo.
rd 3
lopez lands the harder, cleaner shots, including a well timed uppercut that froze kambosos. 3rd to teo.
rd 4
clear kambosos rd. teos activity has dropped dramatically. he is no longer probing and flicking the jab. content to follow kambosos around allowing him to pick his spots. first signs of possible fatigue.
(teos corner saying "beautifull, you won that rd. too")
rd 5
bit of a repeat of previous rd, with teo only slightly increasing activity. george looking more comfortable letting his hands go. rd 5 kambosos on activity.
rd 6
trend continues. kambosos has caught on to teos rhythm and is timing flurries after teos single shot attempts. teo visibly breathing hard, while working less.
rd 7
very even rd. teo looking tentative, isnt committing like before, becoming weary of the responses. teo fighting completely flatfooted, choosing to lean instead of using his legs. rd 7 to kambosos on generalship.
rd 8
teofimo still breathing through his mouth, showing little spark in his movement, only working in short spurts. feet look like lead. close rd but kambosos connects the better shot. rd 8 to kambosos.
rd 9
kambosos waiting to much, allows teo to get off some hurtful shots. rd 9 lopez.
rd 10
10-8 rd for lopez. had kambosos seriously hurt and landed some big shots.
rd 11
lopez looks spent. defense got very lazy, barely moving. kambosos wins rd on activity and accuracy.
rd 12
kambosos takes the 12th on desire.

my final score.
114-kambosos
112-lopez


teos preparation and corner work was dismal. they brought him in all emotionally revved up burning energy and gave him no plan to speak of. needs better coaching, his iq is not high enough to figure things out on his own. even simple things.

 

yes. someone like crawford or canelo would have set kambosos up with feints and half steps back. catching him in between his 3 punch combos out of position. he let kambosos dictate the distance the fight was fought at the whole way. when kambosos leaned forward to throw one of his combinations, not once did he have to worry that teo would step back and catch him leaning in. teo left his legs in the dressing room.

 

i scored it even because of the knock down. i saw teo clearly taking the rd, up till the knock down.
