    If by bigger you mean the same size then you are correct

    Minimal difference. They were basically same size. Nakatani was properly bigger. My point is that Lopez struggles with bigger guys.

    I hear what you saying but Lopez was visibly tiring out a lot toward the later rounds. Round 12 was epic for him, landing 51 punches but I think it was more a case of him wanting to close stronger and also finding a second wind.

    In what ways did you observe fatigue in him?

    Loma used up little energy in the first seven rounds, fought (in spurts) for four and was gassing in 12. I think he’s the one with the stamina issue.

    Teofimo has beaten Loma, but what else?

    He's not proven yet. He's clearly good, but is he great? What happens when he faces a taller, rangier opponent like Luke Campbell for example? There are questions still to answer. We don't have the full picture for Teofimo Lopez yet. And I think we need to dim down the hype until we have that information.

    I still have Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis absolutely dominating Teofimo Lopez. Loma was the smaller guy in that fight, Taylor and Prograis won't be and they both hit way harder than Loma ever could.

    Maybe it was the wicked body shots or all his excessive movement.

    Fury understands what an advantage size+speed gives.
    But he also seems to like supporting everybody against those who threaten his P4P ranking.
    Fury aligns with some toxic characters, he lacks judgement. For instance, watch him support Chisora against Usyk. He's a knob in many ways.

    Fury got a fight prediction right, the end is nigh!

    Previously predicted the following wrong

    AJ vs Martin
    AJ vs Parker
    AJ vs Ruiz
    Hughie vs Parker
    Whyte vs Povetkin
    Dubois vs Gorman

    Exactly. And my original point was to look at Masayoshi Nakatani. He gave Teo hell

    You're talking rubbish.

    He supports Chisora for obvious reasons that I shouldn't have to state

    And he supports Lopez because he was a fresh-faced kid he met training in a Top Rank gym and could see he was the nuts right away. Then he beat Comey in that fashion and Fury became a fan.

    Just because you're a Loma & Usyk fan. Don't get butthurt.
