    Even though I detest both, Lopez beats that ugly little stumpy neckless fidget slow adult senseless and stops him in 2. It wouldn't even be competitive. When it takes you 12 rounds to stop a one legged glass jawed man in an ass kicking contest, it means... you like Twinkies and Ho-Ho's more than you like boxing.

    Awww, how adorable. James has found true love again!:encama: I know he took the break up with Livingstone and Hurd hard, but he's finally gotten over it. Good to see. However... what do they say about love? It makes you blind, and it also makes you say the craziest things.:dancing::loko2gaydude:

    Like....


    REALLY CRAZY THINGS.

    Davis needs to get by Santa Cruz first. And it's not going to be so easy. Santa Cruz should be able to take his power and has a great work rate to beat Davis.

    Though I'm still leaning towards Davis on good counter work,...this fight is not so cut and dry.

    I have seen absolutely nothing from Davis to think he`d beat a bigger and talented fighter like TL. The Gamboa fight reinforced what i thought about Tank. Good talented fighter but hes not special and hes not the next big thing.

    I like entertaining fighters to be fair to me

    Who cares if I occasionally get a bit excited and overrate a few fighters. I'm not the only one who does that here.

    To be fair to me I only overrate some people to bring a balance to this place where these fighters are apparently useless.

    I get tired of the same group of fan boys wanking over the same fighters all the time.

    I'm not surprised that my favourite fighters are the least fancied fighters here. If my favourite fighters started getting a bit of love I'd probably go off them.

    I like an under dog story

    It seems to me Lopez might win on points based on the sparring video of the two. It seems Lopez knows how to keep busy and win rounds while applying dangerous pressure. Davis fights in bursts.

    Gotta go with Davis. Loma hit Lopez to clean. Davis would be much more aggressive and hits harder than Loma. Tank actually has pretty good defense as well.

    We need to see Lopez in against some genuine punchers and especially ones his own size to put that questionable mandible section of his to the test. Commey can match him for size and can bang a bit but he's easy to hit and he left himself wide open early doors to getting caught with a perfect right hand and wasn't able to hang around long enough to put Lopez's chin to the Ghana Test.

    Nakatani is a big lump too and he looked like he had a fairly respectable get your respect type dig on him albeit it's hard to know for sure because he'd been feasting on an exclusive diet of domestic opposition back home in Osaka prior to Lopez.

    But when you're getting hurt numerous times by a blown up injured 126 who barely let their hands go who you're way bigger than, and dropped in the gym by both Campbell and in HL reel fashion like a sack of potatoes by a rank novice with big gloves and head gear on, and almost dropped in the gym by that Carlos Balderas dude it definitely sets off my potential glass alarm.

    Granted with the exception of Pedraza, Twink hasn't fought anybody and there's a complete dearth of punchers on his CV too so we've never seen him take the chin test either which is arguably the most important test out there a fighter needs to take. However, he weighs a whole weight class more than Loma and has a 2'' reach advantage over him so there won't be such a big size disparity between him and Lopez as there was between Lopez and Loma and Twink hits harder than Loma too.

    That being said, it taking him 12 rounds to get a shot always shaky whiskered Cuban leprechaun out of there who was fighting with the huge handicap of having a peg-leg for 1o rounds is a concern, though. That really isn't a good look for someone who allegedly KOs HWs in the gym. But if he detonated that back hand of his on Lopez's mandible section it would be interesting to see what would happen, as it would to see what would happen to Twink if Lopez detonated one of his bombs on his chin. And if Twink were to land with even 25% of the power shots he detonated on Pedraza's chin on Lopez's, I'm 100% confident it would be night night for Lopez and it might not even take half as much as that because Pedraza is tough as nails.

    Tank is not a 135lb fighter.............He's gonna likely lose to someone not even at as high a level as Lopez. He's a 130 pounder, and even there, he isn't the best at the weight. He's a talent, but he's not gonna be "the guy" anywhere he lands. I say that as one of the few guys that like him.

    Both are quick but Teo is bigger, a true 140 pounder and Tank is a puffed up 130 pounder. At this stage, I don’t care about predictions, it would be great to see this one happen. Tank is wasting time with smaller guys and older washed up guys. The Pedrazza win was a long time ago and he hasn’t fought a game opponent since. He looked bad against one legged Gamboa and has a meaningless LSC in his next fight.

    Teo seems willing to fight anyone, I’d like to see him fight Tank, Haney or Ryan Garcia within the next year. Maybe even Mikey at 140 after he grows out of LW. All of these guys are talented and prime (or close to it). I hope these fights happen, unlike the WW class where they talk big fights and always seem to avoid the biggest challengers. Props to Porter who seems to be willing to fight anyone. How long have we been talking about Spence-Crawford ?!!?
