Let's see if he makes the weight . Also about time he takes a step up in competition. Santa Cruz is just the level below the very best in the world.

I'm more excited for Lomachenko vs Teofimo and the comeback of Spence Jr when he fights Danny Garcia. That's a tough opponent. Crawford vs Brook is also interesting. Usyk vs Chisora at HW also coming up, would be a good win for Usyk. If he gets past Chisora, one more win should guarantee him a title fight, looking at how he dominated the CW division.

Yea Loma is my favorite boxer now so I'm definitely looking forward to his bout with lopez. I think Spence is going to wash Danny, i love Danny but he can't bang with Spence, he's just below the top level fighters but good opponent nonetheless. I don't think Crawford and brook is happening anymore I read it somewhere I can't remember. That will be a good fight tho if it gets done, Crawford finally fights someone that's tough and with a name, I think Brooks is too big for him though but we'll see.

I think Crawford dominates Brook, but it's still the biggest name he has faced at WW - and Brook can punch. But as you said, hopefully Crawford fights one of the top guys next. Spence vs Crawford is ofc the fight everyone wanna see - but i'm happy to see Crawford fight either Shawn Porter og Thurman next. Can't rule out Pacquiao either.

I agree with everything u said except Crawford dominating Brooks. Crawford doesn't have a great chin, he almost got knocked out by a washed up Gamboa, I don't think he can take a clean flush punch from Brooks, Brooks is muscled up. crawford will have to fight smart. I definitely think he can win but I don't see him dominating Brooks , Brooks is tough and won't lay down. Shawn Porter, Thurman, Pac and Danny Garcia would all be good opponents. I actually wanted Garcia to fight Crawford instead because those 2 don't like each other.

Before the GGG beat down, Brooks was a top 2-3 welter weight.

That version is a 50/50 fight with Crawford. Now, the fight isn't competitive. His best days are way behind him. That GGG fight took years off his fighting prime.

Good point, he moved up too much in weight and GGG was in his prime knocking everything out. Also the fight with Spence did a number on him too, Spence busted his eye I believe. That was a classic fight tho no doubt about it, those 2 guys battled it out.

GGG originally busted up his orbital bone. Spence went to work on what was damaged already goods. The last round of Brook GGG fight took a lot out him. He was never the same after that beat down.

People forget how good Brook was in his prime. Brook beat Porter convincingly. He had his moments despite being undersized against GGG. He would totally be in the convo with Spence and Crawford pre-GGG fight.

[cowboyronnie]

Yeah, Brook is a real lost talent. What a sense of timing and angles. He really messed up taking that GGG fight, his handlers especially. You gotta protect your guys from their own courage.

Never did get a fight with Khan either.

I unfortunately would still like to see it.

Only because watching Khan's delusional ass getting knocked out has become a favorite past time of mine.

Teo vs Loma this Saturday.

I dunno who's going to win this one. Probably the best match up on paper for 2020.

[cowboyronnie]

Loma is going to run away with it. Teo is courageous and confident, lots of talent, but way too green. It's good psychodrama and Loma needs warm bodies. But I'm surprised this is seen as a competitive match.

Are the betting lines close??

+750 for TL.

They're not. Appropriately so.

Lopez are bigger and has legit one punch KO power. That's what makes it interesting. I have no doubt Loma are going to outbox him - but the power and size-advantage for Lopez makes it an interesting matchup. Loma should win it, but he can get hit.

[aggerrard]

15-0, 15 1st round KOs. Impressive but just get Loma vs Lopez started already. It's 4:20 in the night here, can't stay awake for much longer

[Reeko]

15-0, 15 1st round KOs. Ah the power of the plantain, it's real folks.

[Reeko]

I am predicting that at some point Teofimo is going to have to leave his father and find a different trainer. I think Abel Sanchez would be a great fit for him.

Loma vs Teo this is the fight of 2020. I expect a action pact fight. I love both of these guys

What part of Puerto Rico is your family from?

[aggerrard]

JUST START!! - These boxing cards are really complete **** shows. Hate it with a passion, but can't miss the main-event.

[Reeko]

Won't be surprised if Lopez Sr rushes the ring if his son is losing.

[aggerrard]

Early days - BUT 4 rounds in and Loma has barely thrown any punches. Lopez clearly won all 4 this far.

[aggerrard]

5-0.

[aggerrard]

6-0. Loma needs a knockdown to win on the cards. He's fighting scared.
