    They should call this fight The Final Nail in the Coffin.

    Obviously Taylor will win at a canter, probably by stoppage.

    June is so ****, is there anything at all worth seeing next weekend?Jose de Jesus Macias vs Erik Bazinyan is in a couple of days, might be ok.

    i think lopez has a shot to win this one.
    he has fast hands and some pop in his punches.

    I guess I'm not seeing why people are picking Lopez. He couldn't get past Kambosas and struggled against Martin. He also is not fighting at his natural weight.

    Taylor is one of the better technicans in the sport and he's also naturally bigger. He had a bad night in his last fight but he's fighting a smaller man who is flawed. Taylor has already beat better fighters than Teo. I can't see any other outcome other than a Taylor win, unless he is absolutely shot to pieces or the weight cut drains him. But I doubt those are in play here.

    Fimo will need FEMA to put him back together after The Tartan Tornado tears through him.:sisi1 Lopez struggled mightily against a crafty but very featherfisted southpaw, he also struggled against Loma in the second half, when Loma started actually throwing punches. So he's not all that adept at fighting them, well Taylor is bigger and heavier handed. I don't think Lopez's chin was all that great at 135, it seems much worse at 140, so I think Taylor can win this on the inside, where he's the much better fighter or at range if he chooses. Josh will pack enough of a punch to make Teo skittish and second guess himself, clearly he's been suffering from confidence issues, so when Josh starts picking him apart and hurting him in exchanges, he'll get in his head and mentally fall apart. So either route The Tartan Tornado takes, will probably end in a stoppage victory for him.
