Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez, who you got and why?

Lopez wins

 

Teo is obviously the much more skilled and much better fighter but he hasn't been the same puncher at 140 he was at 135 where he was a massive weight bully. He was arguably the hardest puncher at 135 when he was down there and was knocking dudes dead with either hand but since moving up to 140 he's scored 1 stoppage and 1 KD, both in the same fight.

He's fought mostly good quality guys at 140 but his power just hasn't been as effective at 140 so how effective is it going to be at 147? I think he still has power and we know he's much better vs aggressive fighters who come to him than he is against risk averse back foot boxers and he should be too skilful and be able to outbox Rolly.

But he should be 4-4 in his last 8 fights and 4-3 at 140 with those 4 losers being Kambosos, Sandor Martin, Jamaine Ortiz, and Shakur

Rolly should be 4-4 in his last 8 too though with losses or unofficial loses to Jackson Martinez, Twink, Barroso, and Cruz so both have benefited enormously from corruption and should have double the losses they have

Rolly is the bigger man here though and is better suited to 147 and his power is very much legit and Teo has barely fought any big punchers and almost none at 140, certainly no world class ones

Shakur KO 44% featherfist
Barboza KO 33% featherfist
Martin KO 34% featherfist
Ortiz KO 50%

Taylor is the best puncher he's fought at 140 but that was an inactive injury-ravaged Taylor who has clearly not been the same as he once was and should be 0-4 in his last 4 fights

Martin dropped Teo x 2, only 1 KD called by the ref

KO 45% Kambosos also dropped him too so if Rolly catches him clean it could end up very bad for him

But how many punchers has Rolly fought though?

Twink who knocked him out

Cruz who stopped him

Barroso who dropped him and was paddling his ass until that corrupt SOB Tony Weeks waved the fight off on nothing to ensure Rolly got the win

And Garcia who whilst a very fast and powerful puncher retreated into his shell after getting dropped and fought scared and barely threw any meaningful punches

As I keep saying, it's a different ballgame when you're facing world champions and world class fighters your own size and KO artists and legit bangers your size, let alone ones bigger or much bigger ones, because you're crossing a minefield fraught with danger, especially if they happen to also be fast or fast for their size

The skill disparity should be enough to secure Teo the win, and I wouldn't rule out a stoppage win for him either because Rolly isn't packing iron either, but Rolly's size and power could prove to be too much for him too and he could catch him and hurt him and finish him
