Lomachenko has to be more mobile than a BLM looter for all 12 rounds. He has to turn Teofemale constantly, never letting him set or sit down in his punches.
Loma is more of a boxer puncher and Teofimo is more like a come forward power punching sharp shooter. It would behoove Teo to sit back and watch for Loma coming in and to go to the body whenever possible. I don’t think he will be able to so I expect a Loma blow out.
Movements , speed , letting his hand fly and pivots are what Loma must keep doing if he ever sits or plants too long he could get stunned
Loma just has to stay disciplined and professional and don't get emotionally involved. Which is what the immature little dope is trying to bait him into doing.. i.e Tyson Fury is a master of getting inside peoples heads. It does work but I don't think Lopez has the head fk skills of Fury let alone Furys ring IQ either. I also think Loma is too mentally strong and has vast reservoirs of experience to draw on. Talk is cheap.
Teo is more than a live underdog in this one..his power alone makes sure of it..the boy can crack..he sneaky fast with it too..Loma should keep moving turning and not allow Teo to set..even so Teo is a decent counterpuncher with fast hands. Loma's fluid mobile volume should see him through if he can keep it up for 12 rounds..and stay away from Teo's power shots.
Styles makes fights Teo got the style to inflict some damage on Loma. It will probably be like Pedraz vs Loma. But Teo is a hell lot stronger all shots are full power. I am expecting Loma to take a big shot somewhere.Not the pitty pats that Pedraza was throwing at loma. It will be full power and possibly get Loma attention.
Loma vs Pedraza is the worst fight to judge Loma on, Loma fought without one arm for most of the fight as he just came back from surgery
The best chance at beating Loma is to put him on the retreat and keep him there, out of his comfort zone which is pressing the action and controlling the rhythm at midrange. He’s easier to hit going backwards where his style and frame isn’t really suited to sticking and moving/potshotting. Lopez has zero chance if he tries to make it a chess match. IF Lopez can hurt Loma early, make him cautious and push him back with body shots I think he could potentially make it close on the cards. I don’t think he has the experience or stamina to execute it though, and his best chance is to catch Loma coming in with a big counter. Still I feel that’s unlikely. My only real concern for Loma is him getting too involved emotionally in the build up which we haven’t seen from him before. He just needs to keep his head, not get dragged into a fight and Lopez will recieve a boxing lesson.
