    Anything is possible, he was able to elevate his level against Loma but with all his distractions outside the ring with his marriage, l doubt he's in the same mind frame to repeat that type of performance.

    That or Taylor can no longer make the weight and is too drained.

    Course he can, it wouldn't even be THAT much of an upset Imo.

    Yes, only because Taylor is so inactive and his latest fight was bad.

    I wouldn't be surprised honestly. People said the same going into the Loma fight after Teo looked average against Nakatani. They both have something to prove, it's only a matter of who wants it more.

    Yes but he’s going to have to fight better than he did against Martin. He lost that fight except in the eyes of the judges. Not impressed.

    When Lopez wins it won't be an upset.

    For the life of me I don't understand why Taylor is even favored. Furthermore Lopez looks confident and relaxed whereas Taylor looks like he's on the verge of an anxiety attack.

    For the record I'm not really a fan of either of these guys.

    I think it depends on what Teo shows up, I was picking him for the upset but after hearing about his out the ring issues I got Taylor by Demo job

    If Taylor looks like crap at the weigh in then yes! It’s quite possible he leaves it too late and makes weight but has nothing on his punches on the night or he comes in over and gets fined

    His wife has filed for divorce and taking half his money and his kid. One of the most stressful things you can go through apparently so not exactly ideal circumstances for this fight. Maybe it will focus him or maybe it will drain him mentally, probably the latter.
