TEO LOPEZ vs JOSH TAYLOR
Re: Who Wins & How? TEO LOPEZ vs JOSH TAYLOR
Both guys have been on the underperforming in the ring since winning major fights. Taylor won the light WW tourney by beating Prograis, and Teofimo beat P4P king Lomachenko. They both put on great performances in those fights. This is a cross roads fight for who stays a star in boxing. I really like the match up.
Jack Cartterall gave Taylor a good fight. Taylor made it close, but he should have lost. Against Ramirez, Taylor won a close fights due to a KD as shitty ref Kenny Bayless gave the fighters a verbal order for them to break, and then Taylor hit Ramirez and dropped him (I know protect yourself at all times, but this was at the refs command). Taylor after having Ramirez out on his feet, survived and came back. Taylor lost the last four rounds of the fight as he ran out of gas.
Teo was dropped and school by Kombosas to lose all his lightweight belts. Teofimo would have lost his last fight on the cards against Sandor if the ref would have ruled a rightful KD against Teofimo, which he ruled a slipped but was a clear KD. Teo also showing a loss of confidence after the fight as well.
This could be a war, and could be a close fight. I'm rooting Teo, but I favor Taylor to win a UD. Taylor is bigger and has faced better fighters, and Teo has really struggled lately against guys who are mobile. It really depends who comes in more prepared and motivated between the two. This is a pick'em.

Re: Who Wins & How? TEO LOPEZ vs JOSH TAYLOR
IMO...this fight comes down to who will lay the biggest egg on fight night.
If both of these guys are at their best, I have to favor Taylor, he's just the better fighter. But with both of these guys lately, we just don't know which version is going to appear. Taylor could be on his game, and Teo not on his game, and it could be a one-sided ass kicking. And vice versa.
Taylor should win, emphasis on should. But the way he fights sometimes, with him falling in to fight on the inside, that could put him directly in Teo's power punching range.
We'll find out. But I think it should be entertaining....

Excellent breakdowns guys
Can't wait, lots of questions will be answered
Teo now saying his wife is leaving him... so he has a few distractions...
Taylor UD imo on style and stability

Re: Who Wins & How? TEO LOPEZ vs JOSH TAYLOR
He said this after the conclusion of the Kambosas fight, and used it as an excuse why he lost. It's been a thing for a while now. Teo seems to be a mental midget, but talks a big game on every interview.

Lots of pressure on Teo
Re: Who Wins & How? TEO LOPEZ vs JOSH TAYLOR Saturday
Taylor by UD or late stoppage. I think as the rounds go on, Taylor will increase the severity of the beating on Lopez. The longer it goes, the worse the beating.
