1. TEOFIMO LOPEZ WILL BEAT VASYL LOMACHENKO BECAUSE HE IS BIGGER.
Teofimo will beat Vasyl. López 15-0 (12 KO’s) is shooting to be the first Hispanic fighter to hold all four title belts at 135lbs. His IBF lightweight Title belt will be up for grabs when he squares off with Vasyl Lomachenko 14-1 (10 KO’s) who holds the WBA, WBC, WBO title belts, and is considered by most to be the pound for pound best in the sport.
Lopez is a solid 135 pounder who carries knockout power. He trains down to 135 lbs by fight time. He walks around close to 160 lbs between fights.
If he connects with the power punches he knocked Richard Commey out with, I don’t see Loma shaking them bombs off easily. Teofimo is no Walters or Rigondeaux. (Two guys Loma made quit).
Keep in mind also that Loma has zero problem making 135lbs. He is actually a small lightweight, solid, but small.
Also lets not forget Linares dropped him. If that bomb is from Teofimo is he not getting up? There is an old-timers boxing saying.
A GOOD BIG MAN ALWAYS BEATS A GOOD LITTLE MAN.
Old Timers Saying
I always want a challenge, ALWAYS!
Vasyl Lomachenko
2. TEOFIMO LOPEZ WILL BEAT VASYL LOMACHENKO BECAUSE HE HAS SPEED AND CAN BOX
For some strange reason some fight fans assume that a fighter with pulverizing power in both hands, lacks boxing IQ. Some believe fighters with high KO percentages depend on their power for victory.
Deontay Wilder‘s fighting style does absolutely nothing to dispel this common misconception.
A load of boxing fans consider Vasyl to be the best boxer in the fight game currently. And there is not much room for arguments on this point. His uncanny ability to utilize angles.
His radar like punch placement and defense. They don’t call him the MATRIX for nothing.
With that said, Teofimo is a underrated boxer with plenty of speed and boxing knowledge. Do not assume he is a one dimensional plod ahead puncher, he is a slick counter puncher. He also has speed to go with plenty of power.
It’s not entirely out of the question to assume Teofimo can play chess not checkers in the ring with Vasyl Lomachenko.

3. TEOFIMO LOPEZ WILL BEAT VASYL LOMACHENKO BECAUSE HE IS NOT AFRAID OF LOMA
Boxing is about confidence. Not load-mouth, I’m really scared but I’m covering it all up with brash talk confidence, but real, I cannot wait to show you confidence.
When Muhammed Ali said “I’M THE GREATEST”. He was not selling woof tickets. He meant what he said. That was BELIEF from deep down where it counts stuff.
Anybody can say, I will kick your butt. But believing is a whole other thing in itself. The quiet confidence of a Julio Chavez. The frantic almost spooky aura of a prime Mike Tyson. The Macho boast of a young Hector Camacho.
If a fighter believes in himself, you can plainly see it if you been around boxing long enough.
Teofimo truly believes Vasyl is a overhyped creation of Bob Arum. He truly believes that he can hurt Vasyl with his power. This may not be the walk in the park so many believe it to be. A overwhelming underdog once told the world
“IF YOU WANNA LOSE YO MONEY, BET IT ON SONNY”
Then went one to shock the world. That man’s name was Muhammad Ali.
