    nakatani is more proven than kambosos and lomachenko is miles better. right now there is nothing suggesting he is more than a gatekeeper level fighter.

    Id say he is on par with nakatani accomplishment wise, a 33 yo ex feather in loma won 5 rounds with one arm whilst spending 6 rounds in the closet with the lomasexuals.

    He looked average against Lee Selby. Lopez stops him.

    I initially thought this might be surprisingly competitive, but I just threw on the Lopez-Loma and Kambosos-Selby highlights on side by side and it's a mismatch.

    Kambosos may be able to go the distance. If Lopez loses his belts it will be on the scale.

    I wouldnt go by that if i were you, styles make fights, selby and loma are nothing alike, they are different. Lopez will always look good against an opponent who doesnt throw punches.

    Kambosos is strong and very powerful (not necessarily a big puncher).

    I can see Lopez struggling here with the aggression. Wouldn't be shocked if he upsets Lopez. People forgetting about the fact Lopez struggled with Nakatani as well. And Nakatani also has size and aggressiveness. And strength.

    People overrating Lopez because he beat Loma. He's still very, very, very good but this is a tough fight and an entirely different matchup compared to the Lomachenko fight. Styles make fights.

    being competitive with lopez and koing verdejo is much more accomplished than closely beating shot selby and bey.

    Kambosos has heart so it will be a better battle than most think. he does have that warrior blood especially if hes been in with Pac. Closer fight than most expect. Lopez needs to bea ready or may lay an egg a la Nakatani

    I am looking forward to seeing Kambosos rile up that gimp Papa Lopez in the lead up

    I like the fight alot but i dont see Kombosos beating Lopez. Will he give him problems? I think so but hes going to have to be able to give and take all fight long if hes going to have any chance of at least making it a very close fight. Will he be willing to take big risks after tasting the power of Lopez?.. we'll see.
