    Nah....Taylor is better than Lopez. The former wins by UD.

    JT is overhyped again and he could easily walk into something being Teo’s right hand or left hook. The difference here being if Teo hurts him he puts him away unlike Caterall.

    I have a feeling that Joey Gamache was the difference maker in the Loma fight. they got rid of him to save $$$ for Kambosos and we saw how that went.

    Few years back definitely, now not sure where both guys stand with them only fighting every so often, still put my money on Teo.

    Gamache used to be part of Loma's team

    Let's get this right, all the fans voting no simply don't believe in upsets fullstop.

    They didn't believe Cameron was ready to overthrown KT.
    They didn't believe Zhang could stop the Juggernaught
    They didn't believe Smith was big, quick or fresh enough to beat Eubank.
    They didn't believe Wood could put things right in the Lara rematch.
    They didn't believe anyone, let alone a voluntary challenger could beat Okolie.....CBS says Hi.

    Upsets happen in boxing all the time. This is a stone cold fact.

    2 massively unlikable guys, hopefully one gets violently knocked out but suspect it's going the distance with some kind of controversial decision.

    Almost, Lopez looked like Hamed at times in there, specifically with the corkscrew left uppercut he kept trying to land.

    Scottish certainly CAN take a punch.
