    Going back and forth whether or not this fight will go the distance, I’ve decided to pull the trigger and bet hundred on a Taylor KO.

    Lopez can’t have had the best camp if he’s struggled to make weight since moving up.

    All this talk of dying in the ring could be a self fulfilling prophecy psyching himself into getting knocked out and Hank is spiteful enough to not let him off the hook for them comments.

    Also, call me a fool but I’ve parlayed it put a little on a Sunny Edwards KO separate bet for a 28/1 double.

    No… it’s VERY fortunate :) Cowardly swerving away from the Loma rematch, talking about legit killing Taylor in the fight… It would be extremely fortunate witnessing that sleazy pukes destruction on Sat. I just hope the camera pans over to Lopez’s father right when Teo gets put on the deck. Hopefully face first.

    Though I will say I do appreciate Teo saying some things that many other fighters wouldn’t say in the past. :thumbsup: So he isn’t a complete POS. But he still has to pay the piper for some sins.

    I predict we’ll see another panicking son in between rounds asking for help/advice like Devin did :)

    Lopez is finally fighting someone near his size.

    Taylor should beat the **** out of him. I have a feeling it’s going to be quite a brutal knockout

    I hope he KO's Lopez early, but inactivity is the only thing, why I don't bet on it.

    Taylor can crack, and I just think that straight left or that uppercut will be the demise of Teo.

    This. Lopez is an uncouth ignorant SOB. With Taylor, he's 32 years old, seems to have a pretty good brain on him too. It feels like he's consciously making a decision to be rude and nasty.

    I am joining you on that. Taylor looks like he made the weight well. Lopez looks undersized to me

    Swerving away from the Loma rematch? There was no need for the rematch. Teo whooped him.

    Looks like it was Teo who turned out to be bigger, stronger, nastier.

    against Prograis, when he was getting hit with quick, sharp counters early on, Taylor changed things up, got inside and used his size to bully Regis and drain his energy

    here he just plodded around cluelessly doing nothing. sign of a shot fighter.

    Taylor was bigger than Lopez but why did you think Taylor had power?
