Great for australian boxing, smart money is on lopez but i feel he is being overated a little due to a **** poor performance from loma in a fight that still ended up being close. George will come to fight make no mistake.
I like this idea to establish Teofimo as a worldwide superstar and so he can also get credit for going to a good opponent's backyard and beating him.
I'd favor Teo, in the US. Going to Australia might not be a good idea if Teo's not looking to get set up for the steal. Make that man come to you. Teofimo has all the cards....undisputed LW champ, and thus should get to choose location.
Better to fight here in Oz than to stage the fight in the states. It would be summer here and you could have a crowd, screw the vegas bubble.
I would have preferred getting to watch Loma fight live here,which was was discussed months ago as a potential big stadium fight,had he beaten Lopez but I think Kambosos matches up better with Lopez and has a better chance of an upset in front of a massive parochial crowd. Lopez could be there for the taking after coming off the high of beating Loma and could end up underestimating and looking past the tough Kambosos,to the potential big money fights that lay ahead.
That and Arum has wanted to go back there since Manny vs Horn. Loma vs Kambosos was in the making for a while.
No one is saying he is, but he is a live dog in this fight, george aint a 33 commey who won his belt vs a 39 year old and he aint a 33 yo featherweight with one shoulder who forgot to throw a punch. George is young hungry and will bring it. Teo better be ready.
Age is an irrelevant factor here. Teo is far more experienced and just the far better boxer. Commey always gave it his best. He was at the peak of his game, not an old man who no longer had the fire.
