Not really. Lomachenko is almost universally hailed as the P4P #1 and widely considered to be one of the most skilled fighters in boxing history. For a guy who just left prospect level with a TKO off Richard Commey to beat him is a massive upset.

Upset, yes? A big one? Sure. But my point still stands. Teo is actually among the top of the division. Many are expecting him to give Loma a good fight. Douglas and Ruiz were widely seen as jokes and easy KO´s.
WTF is this thread. P4p #1 (or top 3 minimum) vs Up and coming huge talent. It's not a huge upset, just a huge fight. This is Mayweather vs Canelo in 2013 all over (comparison).
Bigger upset than aj-ruiz. I rate loma much better than Aj I had him p4p #1 for awhile now I have him #2.
But Tyson and Joshua weren't considered two of the most skilled boxers in history like Lomachenko is.
You must be trolling, right? When did you become one? Well, whatever. Everyone here has disagreed with you, which should show you that it won´t be seen as among the biggest upsets of all time. Just look at the betting odds.
Well he started out at featherweight, but he's so skilled it will not matter until he gets old. OM Teo Lopez he's young, a good puncher. If he's tough, this could be a fight. Usually goes at this weight 30+ don't fight many 23 year olds.
From trainer & specialist Stephen "Breadman" Edwards (scene of): " This fight is 52/48 in my opinion. I am scared that Loma will get clipped and his legacy will be dumped on. Lopez has unique timing. He also has the ability to hit his opponents with his hardest shots. Not just a clean shot but his hardest shots. In my opinion Loma, Loma has slipped. The last time I saw APEX Loma was against Linares. It’s not just the weight. It’s the age and stress of being so great for so long. He’s 15 title fights in." Nuff said = not close at a very big upset. And, in accordance, if he wins, it must be appreciated as one of his greatest.
