He is the number one boxer in the world, but he’s certainly not the biggest draw. If he were American or British, he’d be raking in PPV money, but he’s Ukrainian, so he’s fairly unknown to people who don’t at least have a casual interest in boxing.

Interesting

I'm certainly a casual boxing fan, but he's the only dude I make it a point to watch all of his fights.

Lopez looks at least one weight class bigger than Lomachenko.

Same. I’ve practiced boxing at a gym a few times. You realize how lightning fast these guys are and their footwork are unreal.

Did Barbosa win? He’s a fricking warrior.

Loma is going to hurt Lopez. Loma is so disrespectful by Lopez and that’s scary

Probably my Loma bias but watching all this trash talk right now from Lopez, I'm not buying his confidence and what he's saying at all.

I'm fairly certain he knows Loma ain't one bit scared of him, but he's chirping a whole lot trying to talk it into being the truth.

Teo has a magic right had but Loma is so slick and when he decides to grind you up is brutal.

Yep. He's trying to convince America a d himself that Loma is scared of him.

Neither are buying it.

I love watching Loma fight, his style is just so...different, and smooth.

I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch, but if Barbosa is smart, he won't even consider it.

Eta: I hate the bubble. Time to get back in front of a live audience

Maybe it’s just me but lip-syncing fredy mercury on the way to the ring doesn’t exactly qualify as intimidating

It's not just you

The fact that Loma shows up looking like he's ready to work, however, is.
