    The right hook of featherfisted southpaw Sandor Martin wreaked havoc on glass jawed Fimo, Taylor's will leave him face down, lip quivering in a pile of his own excrement. I can't wait!:applaudit:


    And anyone who says he's ducking Catterall... :lol: **** off. The first wasn't a robbery, and outside of the hardcores, no one really cares. It's certainly not as big a money maker as this fight will be.

    I like Jack, I thought he won their first fight, but I prefer this matchup tbh. Will be interesting to see if Teofimo can compete at the top level at 140.

    Not convinced Taylor has it anymore, both are looking shady lately

    This is definitely more appealing as a fight than Taylor-Catterall, Jack does deserve a rematch, but I have no enthusiasm for it. At least Taylor and Lopez after coming from lackluster performances will try it duke out and make it fun.

    Catterall is said to be entering the ring after the fight.

    No the rematch with jack needs to happen first.

    Teo looked like **** in his last fight. Taylor should beat him based on that. I'd rather see the jack rematch not to mention teo has done nothing at 140 to deserve a shot at Taylor. Jack is getting screwed here if this fight happens instead of the rematch.

    I'm actually down for this. I would have rather seen a rematch with Caterall first but this is still an interesting match up. The pre-fight build up and trash talk will be intense. Taylor should win this but it'll be crazy if Lopez actually manages to pull off another surprise win.

    I'd rather see this than hit and hold Catterall.

    One of my favorite fighters today beating up my least favorite fighter today. This needs to happen, I honestly don’t care about the Catterall rematch.

    Lopez seems to be mentally out of it. But I'd still like to see him Bolivianize that loudmouth Taylor.
    And I'd still like to see CAtterall get a rematch. What happened to that match?
