Teofimo Lopez vs Brian Norman Jr. in talks for December in NYC, MSG for 147 WBO belt

Hope this happens Teo deserves credit for taking this type of challenge.

 

Ennis should fight the winner.

 

Risky fight for Teo, he can lose this because Norman aint no Jermaine Ortiz or Steve Claggett, this dude can fight and in more ways than 1.

I would just favour Teo, just.

 

How’s Norman? If ive seen him fight before I don’t remember

Teo didnt have KO power at 140 but he did have authority on his punches to get respect. I wonder if he’ll be able to even make a dent with his punching at welterweight. He struggles mightily with movers, but I’m not sure if Norman is a mobile fighter

 

He's a good, basic guy. I wouldn't call him a mover, he's a press forward behind the jab 1-2 guy. And a take a step back to avoid or avoid and counter. Norman doesn't really do anything outstanding but he arguably does everything well. Good power, good speed, good defense, good jab.................nothing otherworldly................He's steady...........

He could definitely beat Teo. Teo even attempting a fight with a steady guy that doesn't give a lot would be a task, especially given how he performs up and down.

 

Respect to Teo for taking this fight but he’s likely getting stopped.

 

Check out Norman’s last fight if he gets that fighter he’s getting rag dolled.

 

I like that description.

 

Norman has power. I would pick him over Lopez if they had a shootout.

 

He is basically lesser version of pre-accident Errol Spence Jr.

 

Not so sure. Teo has superior timing and counterpunching. Teo, when firing on all cylinders, is basically a bigger Juan Manuel Marquez with slightly better defense

 

Spence couldn’t fight off the back foot.

 

Man , thanks for the laugh. You are comparing Lopez to JMM.

Lopez has always been about using size and power punch. Lopez has been outboxed before and his power bailed him out. I have no idea where people are making Lopez out to be some slick boxer.
