If Loma loses to Teo will it affect his legacy? If so by how much?

He tried to overpay Salido and it wasn’t enough. Salido might be broke enough to have to steal beer but he’s not dumb enough to take way more money than he’s worth to take the beating he would have gotten. Salido is a coward who had to miss weight, and throw low blows all night to beat a guy in his second pro fight. It was a split decision and Salido was almost out at the end.

Betchelt always chirps but he mysteriously had fights with bums ever time line was available. At this stage of his career, Loma clowns him. I hope it happens because it will shut people up, but it will not be a competitive fight.

 

It'll hurt a bit. But how big the impact depends on : 1) how he loses ; and 2) how he pick himself up again after the defeat.

For the first factor, we need to see his previous record of losses. Loma only had been defeated twice in his entire long boxing career. One in amateur and one in pro. There are one similarity in both of his losses. Loma actually gave his best shot and put a good fight. And when he declared lost, he did not make excuses and learned his lessons. This is why I'm convinced that Loma is not going to lose to Lopez for reasons like 'lack of preparation'. Because he always gives his best.

As for the second factor, Loma is known to have pretty good record after defeat. In amateur, he lost in 2007 and he has been undefeated since then to 2013. In pro, he lost to Salido in 2014 and he has been undefeated in the next six years, even against bigger opponents in 135. He is a special boxer, one in generation. People will follow him even if he loses. Just like Duran, Tyson, Pacquiao. When they lost, people won't easily forget about him.

IMHO, the biggest challenge in Lopez fight is not Lopez's strength and powerful blows, but how Loma keeps his head cool and follow his father's game plan. I won't be surprised if Lopez is trying to taunt and insult him greatly in weigh-in and press conference. If Loma can keep his mind focused and doesn't care about this clown's provocation, Loma will win.

 

It would have a negative impact, how much would be seen in time dependent on how his career finishes and probably the manner of the loss.

 

He beat himself. Started way too slow. Lost it by 2 points if I remember correctly. Logan beat Haney he should of had all the belts.

 

G'day mate. Yeah, unlucky but you're right he started a tad slow against Teo, still reckon he should have got the nod though.

 

As much as i love Lomas beautiful boxing his resume isn't that great.. he made poor career choices, I wish he would have turned professional 4 years earlier and I wish he would have dealt with his injuries a bit more sensibly.. boxing did do him dirty tho so i dont blame him for retiring.. he seems to have found peace in his life now and is a man of deep faith so all the best to him, it was a pleasure watching.

 

whoever he surrounds himself with either gave him bad advice, or he didn’t take their good advice, this dumbass wanted to do photo ops in the Ukraine instead of fighting George for all four belts, a fight he would’ve obliterated him in while claiming all four belts simultaneously, and then he could’ve did his little photo op stunt in the Ukraine after. why he decided to go to the Ukraine first for two years or however long it was and then come back and fight Haney for all four belts was a tragic decision with career consequences. Why only do one thing when you can do both? Fighting George for all four belts is not the same as fighting Haney for all four belts, one of those fights is far easier than the other.
