It’s all in the Game Yo
Salido beat dude clearly, Linares dropped and fought him tough before getting stopped, Luke Cambell barely lost on the cards...
Why are people acting like this dude is invincible?

I think Max Kellerman heard that Ukrainian dance shyt, put some weird backstory about it helping his footwork to it, and everyone just rolled with it. I never once heard Lomachenko himself say that dancing did anything for his boxing or that he did it for any reason other than him participating in a bunch of random shyt when he was a kid.
Lol..this nygga might get knocked completely out. Pedraza fukked this goofball's face up..yeah right

I can see this too but Lopez will be very dangerous in the first few rounds. He is a fast starter and he knows he has the upperhand physically, Loma takes a few rounds to get going. But I think Loma will be careful enough to bot get caught with something big early in the fight.

Pedraza and Lopez are very different fighters stylistically though and Pedraza is arguably at his prime now. Loma still beat him without any doubt about the result.Lol..this nygga might get knocked completely out. Pedraza fukked this goofball's face up..yeah right
Lopez is a counter puncher who relies on athelticism, striving to finish his opponent with just a few big shots (doesn't mean he's not a smart fighter just saying he is not the pot shotter kind of counter puncher or the warring JMM like). Pedraza constantly worked and moved, always threatening Loma with his jab or straight rear hand. Not leaving his jab out to control Loma as Campbell tried but nevertheless, he tried to stop Loma from getting into his rhythm. Lopez won't work as much and won't move as much, he kinda flat-footed, rather likes to lunge in. Either he catches Lomawith something huge or he gonna be overwhelmed in the pocket completely.
It's a question of stamina too, keeping up the rhythm with Lomachenko is super tiring mentally, you always have to be super alert, many fighters can't wither that and get frustrated easy. See Loma's 4 RTD wins in a row. He hasn't reproduced that at 135 yet but Lopez has to be careful. He is very proud and that can be to his detriment in mentally handling the situation if Loma starts to befuddle him.
Lomachenko vs. Lopez - More Undercard Bouts Announced
By Random Hits
Published On Thu Oct 8, 2020, 03:38 PM EST
The breakout star of the Bubble, “Cassius” Clay Collard, is back for more.
Collard, the MMA pro-turned contender for 2020 “Boxing Prospect of the Year,” will fight Quincy LaVallais in an eight-round middleweight bout on the Vasiliy Lomachenko-Teofimo Lopez undercard on Saturday, Oct. 17 from the MGM Grand Las Vegas Conference Center. It is a rematch of their June 2019 fight, which was ruled a draw.
Collard-LaVallais 2 and additional undercard bouts, including a 10-round junior welterweight clash between top prospect Josue “The Prodigy” Vargas and Kendo Castaneda, will stream live on ESPN+ at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The Lomachenko-Lopez world championship main event, the 10-round junior welterweight battle between Alex Saucedo and Arnold Barboza Jr., and an eight-round super middleweight tilt featuring knockout king Edgar Berlanga against Lanell Bellows will be broadcast live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 10 p.m. ET.
“A marquee main event deserves marquee supporting fights, and we have an incredible lineup in store underneath Lomachenko-Lopez,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “Vargas can graduate to contender with a win over Castaneda, and Clay Collard is back to once again put on a show. Tune in early to ESPN+ to kick off an incredible night of boxing.”
Collard (9-2-3, 4 KOs), who is 5-0 with 3 knockouts in 2020, began the year with three victories over previously undefeated prospects. In January, he toppled the 9-0 Quashawn Toler by unanimous decision in Toler’s hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. The following month, he knocked out the 5-0 Raymond Guajardo in the second round of a bout that saw both men hit the canvas. He made his Bubble debut June 18 and battered the 6-0 David Kaminsky en route to a split decision nod. Collard has notched knockouts in his last two Bubble bouts and returns against LaVallais (9-0-1, 5 KOs), a native of Kenner, La. Collard and LaVallais fought in New Orleans, and LaVallais escaped with the draw. LaVallais has won two fights since, both by first-round stoppage.
"I'm a born fighter, and I'm grateful to be back on such a significant card," Collard said. "When Quincy and I fought the first time, I knew I'd done enough to win, but we were in his hometown. We're fighting on neutral ground this time."
Vargas (17-1, 9 KOs), and his teeth, made an impression in his last bout. Vargas lost a veneer, but still managed to nearly shut out Salvador Briceno over 10 rounds in an ESPN-televised co-feature. He has won 11 consecutive fights and takes a step up against Castaneda (17-2, 8 KOs), a San Antonio-born boxer-puncher coming of a competitive decision loss in July to Jose “Chon” Zepeda.
In other undercard bouts scheduled for ESPN+:
Jose Enrique Vivas (19-1, 10 KOs) vs. John Vincent Moralde (23-3, 13 KOs)
8 Rounds, Featherweight
Vivas’ last fight was one of the best of 2020, a 10-round war against Carlos Jackson that took place July 2 inside the Bubble. Vivas and his hellacious body attack earned him the unanimous decision nod. Moralde, a top Filipino contender, is 3-1 since a September 2018 decision loss to Jamel Herring at junior lightweight.
Quinton Randall (6-0, 2 KOs) vs. Jan Carlos Rivera (4-0, 4 KOs)
6 Rounds, Welterweight
Former USA Boxing amateur star Randall takes a step up in class against Rivera, a Puerto Rican knockout puncher who has yet to see the third round as a professional. Randall, from Houston, Texas, defeated Clay Collard via unanimous decision in June 2019.
Jahi Tucker (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Charles Garner (1-0)
4 Rounds, Welterweight
The 17-year-old Tucker, who signed with Top Rank earlier this year, made his professional debut Sept. 19 and scored a first-round stoppage over Deandre Anderson.

shyt has been covered in a bunch of stories about his dance background
https://www.si.com/boxing/2018/05/09/vasiliy-lomachenko-boxing-footwork-dancing-jorge-linares
thats all true. just left out three things: teofimo is quick handed, hits hard, and has a trigger.
Bob Arum tried to make him the white mayweather, problem is he not that good, he fighting amateurs when 27 years old, i'm keep in Mayweather was like 17 and robbed against a near 30 year old man in the olympics, Erroll Spence lost in the olympcs came to two time gold medalist who is a little older than erroll is now, just keep that in perspective
Not only did ESPN on a national TV broadcast ERASE Lomachenko's lost, something that has never happened in the history of boxing television programming, but they said he would beat mayweather at 135 lmao
From Gary Russell fight highlights you will think Lomachenko destroyed him lmao, I thought this shyt for years because for some reason this fight was impossible to find long period of time
but Not only was the fight a Majority Decision which means one judge thought Gary Russell won, but Gary Russell actually dropped Lomachenko they didn't rule it has a knock down, a clear drop, so the fight should've been a draw if Russel got that 10-8 round
Nicholas Walters was out of boxing two years, gets no tune up fight whatsover, comes in to fight Loma, quits, AND HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE, nikka just vanished off the face of the Earth lmao
Rigo called out loma to meet in the middle, but is forced to come out two weight classes after already moving up two to fight Donaire, the nikka is smaller than them chiraq nikkaz, and they act like lomachenko's performance was so great, when he did zero damage to Rigo, didn't even rock him one time in the fight and the nikka has a suspect chin, he just quits out of the blue lmao, next thing you his belts at bantam weight are stripped for no reason, and he's off top rank and goes to PBC lmao
everything about this guy's career is fishy
He fought Salido for the vacant WBO belt, losses that fight, Salido is the WBO champion, his very next fight is against Gary Russel for the same VACANT WBO belt that somehow Salido doesn't have anymore, top rank is full of shyt
Bob Arum tried to force Lomachenko into a star but nobody took the bait except for white supremacist in youtube comments section, when he fought luke campbell them british commentators was talking about "i'm not impressed" lmao
If Teofimo can't be lomachenko he's trash, end of story, but I think Bob is cutting bait with Loma and will make Teofimo his new pacquaio because Teofimo already surpassed lomachenko in popularity being showcase on ESPN benefited him more than it did Lomachenko
So Teofimo will stop Loma, loma going go down to 130, and Devin Haney gonna be left without nobody to fight for years to come

you are right. they kinda off set each other. lomachenko is high volume. lopez is low volume, but its a trade off: he is low volume because he is pin point accurate with his punches. the pattern will be, lomachenko steady, and lopez with better peaks. so you want to keep an eye on lomahencko's punch output. if its high it means lopez cant figure it out. if its low it means lomachenko is gun shy and lopez has his timing down. both of these guys styles can perfectly cancel out the other one, if i am making sense.
