Think Taylor’s overall size advantage as well as his skills, power and speed will be enough to beat Lopez probably decision via 8 - 4 score with Lopez having his moments but Taylor controlling the fight overall if this is at 140 but if they try weight draining Taylor then it’s anyone’s guess lol
Taylor is a complete fighter and a skilled operator in the ring, Fimo won't be knocked out but he's getting UDed for sure.
Taylor by KO at 140. However there are some things that could help Lopez: 1. Taylor recently expressed interest in going down to 135. If this were the case, it would give Lopez a better chance. 2. Lopez could demand a rehydration clause. Taylor looks like a shrunken skeleton on the scales and rehydrates a lot. He is huge huge, and long, for 140, he would even be a huge 147 fighter. Overall, in whatever scenario I can think of, Taylor is still a huge favorite.
The thing is Lopez hasn't fought enough to get a solid read on him so it's a bit difficult to comment on him, OTOH Taylor has gone 12 with solid dudes in the division and has come at the top. Imo this fight won't happen as Taylor's 30 and he's got a good 5 years in the sport where he will test his luck at 147 and Lopez isn't moving upto 140 before two years.
Taylor won't lose unless he goes up in weight. The WW division is filled with some real stallions. Anyone at 140 or under is a potential Taylor victim
