What is the purpose of making that unification fight ? You don't get any belt. You don't get any rating points. The only thing you can get is an injury. And money...

Unification bout is very important to see who among the champions really deserves to be called a real champion on that division, we now have 5 boxing organization and it's good for the boxing world to see unification bout to represent only one weight category, of all the unification what i really want to see is the bout against Wilder and Joshua.

supporting this,there are many title holder in each division so why not try to Bout them all to find who really deserves the title?
we have seen them fight in each organization but we have not witnessed fighting in other organization that we wanted them to face?
so would be glad shuffling them to fight each other?and besides for me a boxer must face everyone in his division to prove his worth as a real fighter and a champion.

I will go with Lomanchenko, i've seen Lopez highlights and his fights it was impressive knockout victories but those we're not so good fighters, i think this could be his first time facing a real experience fighter.

Lomanchenko is more, as a counter puncher and a strategist on the other hand Lopez is a very aggressive fighter. For me in fights like this, the one with most experience wins but who knows Lopez might have a shocking knockout win.

Truth.

Plus his footwork is unreal, I don't think Lopez has ever gone up against a fighter so light on his feet before (are there even any others?)

I predict 7th round KO/TKO by either combination or body shot—Linares style!

I am tempted to go for Lomachenko but the guy Lopez can knock any guy with one good punch a fighter with a one punch knock out is ont only dangerous but can win the fight in any round at any time, his defense is also good I don't want to predict a draw but I will go for Loma if it reach a decision.

Well, this will be a thrilling fight between those two boxing fighters. But I am in favor of Lopez because he is young and probably hunger for this fight. At the age of 22, at this age usually, fighters have strength but don't have a strategy. I hope the odd will go with Lopez and this young fighter will win this match. Indeed, there are too many instances that Loma will have a chance.

Experience is a huge advantage in boxing though we cannot square out that Lopez as a young boxer is eager and has a good boxing record with no defeat and compared to lomachenko, his KO rate is higher. This is a good march to watch.

As far as Loma's boxing record is concerned, it is best to go beyond what he achieved professionally in terms of numbers. Although Lopez has indeed a better professional boxing record as compared to Loma, it should not be the only basis. We have to take note that in all of Loma's professional fights, only one is not a title fight and that was his debut match. After his debut, every fight of this man is already a title fight. And he already secured a world title in his third professional match. We have to consider his amateur record of 396 wins and only a single loss. A true legend.

This fight for me is like a match between a teacher and one of his best students. A good fight of course but one is simply much better than the other. It is no wonder why Loma got a -400 favorite odds over Lopez, at least as far as Betfair is concerned.

Lomachenko might have the experience, but as Bob Arum said, Lopez can bring out surprises to fights. The age gap is not really that relevant since 30s is still an age where mose boxers actually fight their best, with training and experience in the ring.

It's either Lopez surprises us, or Lomachenko proves Lopez he ain't ready to take the title. Nevertheless, still a fight worth to watch.

It really is a great fight to watch Lopez will prove to be a big challenge for Loma, because Lopez can take out a fighter with just one punch, while Loma takes it with a lot of combination if Lopez can catch up Loma's speed then he is in big trouble, like Pacquiao, Loma's big weapon is his speed and accuracy.

Strange to see that he has got only 3 fight on Wikipedia while his record is 15-0. Does it means that despite this 15 wins were in "professionals", 12 of the opponents were punching bags?

again another AGE and EXPERIENCE test?

there is no doubt as Lomachenko is in his perfect age to prove his boxing skills,and this young aggressive Fighter Lopez also wants to prove his capacity so?for me in this one it is the experience will decide who will win.

I really wouldn't say this is a youth vs experience test whatsoever.

Isn't Lomachenko like, what... 31 or 32 tops? That's definitely not even close to old in his division. Lighter guys can usually keep fighting a lot longer than older ones IMO, so long as they keep their speed.

Teofimo is up against a guy that is basically in his prime, both in terms of athleticism and experience. It's going to be devestation that's for sure.

The odds only have Loma at a 1/4 favorite though, surprisingly really.

Teofimo Lopez got the advantage for me, the height and reach js on favon Teofimo Lopez and boxing records too; still Teofimo Lopez got no lost on his entire boxing professional career.
Even one of the IBF lightweight champion Tyson Fury said that Teofimo Lopez can beat Vasiliy Lomachenko on this fight. Tyson Fury is rooting for Teofimo Lopez for this fight against Vasiliy Lomachenko.
He once said that here;

I wouldn't call this age vs experience. Loma was a late starter in boxing, but he get his chances to be a champion in his second fight if I'm not mistaken.

So Lomachenko is just on his prime, peaking at the right time vs a young and very aggressive Lopez who thinks that he can beat Loma at this stage. So in this kind of scenario, a talented and very skilled and with so much experience usually won. So let's see if a young fighter Lopez can prove us wrong.

Well, I suppose money is everything it's still the same as getting a belt though. Just look at Floyd Mayweather going against weaker opponents to get that easy money with just an exhibition fight. Expect already that there are gamblers too who will going to vouch money for gambling purposes only.

We all know that boxing is a business, so I guess when there is a lot of money in the table, reunification, mandatory fights can be put aside and make fights that will make a lot of money for promoters and fighter themselves.

@xZork - I agree, it was very disrespectful on the part of Lopez, but I think a lot of trash talk between him and Magdaleno, lots of emotion involved and being very young, he might has gone overboard with his antics that time.

Lomachenko is an excellent fighter, it is great to see him playing. If the first match between Lomachenko vs Teofimo Lopez was held, I would cheer for Lomachenko

I didn't like Teofimo Lopez, in the first match against Diego Magdaleno he had a celebration that made many people criticize.
In this first match, Lopez was the better player for most of the time and got a knockout victory in the 8th period. Seemingly overjoyed with this victory, the 21-year-old boxer was overjoyed. He started with a dance in the game "Fortnite", followed by an acrobatics before running straight to his opponent Magdaleno lying on the floor to let go of provocations.
That is not beautiful action

Loma comes with lot of experience and sure he going to win the fight and add a belt to his career. I guess it should be an honour for Lopez to fight against Loma and consider this as a moment . This indeed will be a good fight with experience beating the young blood. My bets if any surely going to be on Lomachenko.

Date: TBA
Venue: TBA

The unification fight between Loma and Lopes is sure to take place, they are just finalizing the date and the venue.
Loma will once again be tested with this young and taller Lopez.

Bob Arum quoted,

Quote

“Lomachenko is fighting Lopez, that is done. Now the question is the site of the fight. We have Madison Square Garden bidding against Barclays in Brooklyn and we are also getting a bid from Saudi Arabia to do that fight,” Arum stated.

Odds for this fight is not out as there is no final date of the fight yet.

What do you think of this fight guys?

I'm expecting that Davis will be the first, I guess the young Teofimo really wanted to show his talent that's why he step up the plate here.

After the fight Teofimo Lopez will have a good experience fighting against an artist in the ring and i do not see anyone defeating Lomachenko anytime soon, if he is fighting in his late 30s then age might catch up with him other than that no one is going to catch him and even if there is a lucky punch i am sure he will come back and do a master class on the opponent so that he will not be able to land any more punches.
