Can we stop with the Lopez hype? He's absolute trash... Weight bully basic *****. Put him in with anyone decent his size and he gets TKOd
Marquez loses a close decision and then cries about it like he did against Pac I, Pac II, Pac III, Norwood, John, Bradley.
Can see this being a good fight TBF ...Lopez probably scores at least one knockdown but I'd back Marquez to stomp his ass before the final bell
He went in against the unified LW champion, literally couldn't have faced anyone more difficult in his division.
Teo ain't a classical boxer type that would trouble Marquez, he's fleet of hand and foot and explodes in bursts. He'd be countered and eaten by Marquez You lead irresponsibly against Marquez, you lose big.
Marquez is at his best against aggressive fighters if you force him to take the lead he struggles if Teo approaches the fight with the plan of being the counter puncher he has all the tools to beat Marquez he has faster hands and feet and better reflexes as long as he stays disciplined he wins by decision in a boring fight imo.
I'm in the same mind but wanted to know if others felt the same too because Lopez seems to lead well against the competition he's fought against and his counter right hand and the uppercut works quite good coupled with his naturally heavy hands . His Philly shell imitation does annoy me to a degree because while he's good with rolling and countering the opponent, his defense doesn't really seems to be aided by the Philly shell and he's a fake slickster at best. Marquez worked his best while the opponent leaded and didn't counter conventionally, so I felt this was an intriguing matchup .
Lopez isn't good enough to be matched with a counter punching machine like JMM. He doesn't have the footspeed or defensive skills that could in any way trouble him. Dinimata outclasses Lopez.
Lopez went away in the last part of the fight with Loma, I feel he'd do the same with Marquez when the going got rough. JMM by close decision
