Do you see Teofimo Lopez pulling off another surprise win against Josh Taylor?

If Teo uses his brain and boxes he has a chance

 

I really hope Teo pulls it off, Taylor is a POS

 

Nope. He has always been about power. Doesnt look like it carried up to the welterweight.

 

If he were just a boxer and just did boxing things, sure he might. But he and his pops are more interested in being famous than they are in fighting so probably not. Not an uncommon state of mind.

 

He has no triumph card. Against Loma he had his size and power, which for an off-night or injured Lomachenko could mean some leverage. Against prepared Taylor? Nah.

 

Based on Teo's recent form, I would have to say: No.

 

The old Two wins.

 

Teo's only real hope is a dodgy decision, but even then he won't have the crowd in his favor most likely.

 

Neither has impressed recently. Taylor shouldn't even have the belt he has. The division has been historically one of the lesser ones ... and it isn't a good one, now.

Would a win over either really be "huge?" They both got the snot beat out of them by lesser fighters.

 

I don't know if Taylor is considered "the man" at 140. I can't recall anyone thinking he even won his last fight. You saw him last time out. If Lopez smacked him around and floored him like Catterall did would that be considered a "huge" win?

People will just say he should've moved up and not stuck around. Taylor would probably say that, too.

They're both damaged goods. That doesn't mean it can't be entertaining. I'm just saying if either loses it's not some huge win.

 

I like his chances

 

Prograis fight was too close to call. Would have lost elsewhere.

 

Taylor should've rematched Prograis and Catterall. Especially Prograis as their 1st fight was one of my favourite fights in recent memory.
