    Another asswipe who thinks he's hot **** because he got one prediction right. Prove your meddle, join Kirk's league and make predictions for every even vaguely important fight that occurs, then we'll see who's loling. You'd crumble after a week. Everything about you screams mental midget.

    Woah calm down bro. I did join Kirks 2022 league at some point but I got one of my predictions wrong so I was out of the tournament. Has he made a new one recently?

    It's the one at the top of the page called Kirk's Championships, it's been there for years. It's year round with no eliminations, I run it and it's ****ing grueling.

    Tbh I don’t understand why this is considered an upset. Taylor is literal garbage whilst Lopez is still one of the best young champions in the world.

    If he had looked drained at the weight for this fight too, then maybe I would agree, but his preparation seemed fine, he made the weight comfortably and I just haven't seem the wear and tear I'd expect to see from a fighter who's shot. He went from being top 5P4P in some peoples eyes to suddenly being dead at the weight vs Catterall and now shot vs Lopez.

    It's just a coincidence he fought too guys that could keep him on the outside where he has always been weak. Nah that's too convenient and takes away from what Catterall and Lopez did.

    Taylor is the same fighter he's always been in my eyes. Very good, especially when he fights a smaller opponent he can get inside on, but he's never been a top 5 P4P fighter, not even close, too many gaping holes in his game and now we've seen not one but two fighters expose those flaws it's because he's now past his best at 32 with only 20 fights? That's too much of a stretch.

    A big stiff Brit with no heart..same as all the rest of them

    Loma beat a prime version of this man at 135 with 1-arm and smoked Haney.
    It's a sin what happen to Loma. Sickening.

    Anyways, Lopez dispatched Taylor with ease . I couldn't even bet the fight because it's all so rotten now.

    Congratulations to Teofimo Lopez on his excellent victory over the man at 140 pounds Josh Taylor. Floyd Mayweather said Tank should fight Lopez next after the Garcia victory. This fight makes sense as both will multi millions provided it’s arranged by PBC who know what they are doing.The takeover is back on. Tank May give Teo a makeover though.

    Well intended to stay up and watch this fight but unfortunately had to much to drink and fell asleep. Anyway woke up early this morning and managed to watch the fight not knowing the result.Going against popular opinion that this was an easy win for Lopez i thought the fight was relatively close.My scorecard 116 - 113 Lopez in other words i had Lopez winning 7 rounds Taylor 4 rounds with the third round i called a draw

    Taylor got a hell of a beating. The kind of a beating that a scumbag who punches while offering touching gloves deserves.

    Teo didnt want to KO him,btw. He let Taylor recover every single time he could have KO'd him. Really bad blood there, when you try to punish a fighter as much as possible like teo did.

    Talylor: overrated as F
    Teo: true talent with an unstable brain who lost a stupid fight because of a stupid behavior.

    I think Taylor is a good fighter with glaring weaknesses that can be exploited by lesser fighters with the right style. Which is the case for most fighters. Very few fighters can remain highly competitive against a high level fighter (or even decent fighter) who is a stylistic nightmare like say Pac against Marquez. That's the mark of a great fighter.
