Fight week for this Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett fight.

There is not much option to bet on this fight but per recommendation of some users, "under 10.5 @1.86" is a good bet as Steve Claggett has not face a fighter in his entire career with a caliber like Teo Lopez. Claggett is an aggressive type which fit the style of Lopez so i think he won't last the full 12 rounds.

His last 3 fights went to decision, so it's quite risky. But I agree with you, since Claggett is aggressive then there's a possibility that the fight will end in KO. Teofimo is very aggressive as well, if his opponent would dance with the same music, then your bet will likely hit. Good luck mate, I guess I would just bet on Lopez to win by KO, you have an idea what's the odds for that?

As of this writing, if you bet for Lopez to win via knock-out, the odds for that is @1.74.

Though a little bit low but for me that is still a attractive odds.

Teofimo Lopez and Steve Claggett both have quite high knockout ratios and are almost equal, anyone would also believe that they would not fight the full 12 rounds because the finish would definitely end in knockout.
Nowadays, a boxer with a 65% KO ratio is not already considered as high. IMO, a high is 90% up.

As per boxrec, Lopez has 65% Ko ratio while Claggett have %68... So both fighters are not really a KO artist, and this could go to distance.
Well, we never know what would happen but I like the chances of Lopez winning the fight again.

Based on the odds also, this could be a mismatch.

Claggett is an aggressive type which fit the style of Lopez so i think he won't last the full 12 rounds.
Steve Claggett in his last fight in January against Marcos Gonzalez Barraza showed how great he was and how aggressive he was in the boxing ring Steve Claggett won in just two rounds.
In the upcoming fight in few days time, maybe we can see how Steve Claggett shows ferocity in every punch he throws, but on the other hand, Teofimo Lopez is also not an easy fighter to beat.
Teofimo Lopez is much younger and he has pretty good record because in 21 fights he has only suffered one defeat, there will be tough fight later and I sure it can be much better than Steve Claggett fight against Marcos Gonzalez Barraza.

Teofimo Lopez and Steve Claggett both have quite high knockout ratios and are almost equal, anyone would also believe that they would not fight the full 12 rounds because the finish would definitely end in knockout.
I myself tend to be more interested in making Teofimo Lopez the favorite and maybe he will actually get the win even though Steve Claggett is an aggressive boxer and has lot of experience.

Hopefully, after this fight, Teofimo will go for unification fights once again. I wonder if Haney and Pitbull Cruz are willing or if their promoters are willing to risk. I can only feel IBF champ, Subriel Matias as the most willing to unify with any of the champions because he has the lowest fanbase among them.

Maybe Pitbull Cruz is willing to fight Teo but I don't think Haney will after that humiliating loss to Ryan Garcia. Teo Lopez is a power puncher just like Ryan Garcia so Haney's team will try its best to avoid those kinds of fighters as long as possible.

It's the other way around, Teo or at least his father is looking for Pitbull Cruz for their next fight, unfortunately they settled for Claggett and again as we have said, this is a tune up fight for maybe Cruz in the future,

Quote
Teofimo Lopez Sr. says he wants his son, WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo Jr., to face the winner of the March 30th fight between WBA champ Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero and Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.

Maybe Lopez Sr knows that it will be a good fight for his son and most likely he thinks that he can beat Pitbull.

Haney needs to come back with an impressive win, so he should not directly fight a champion and instead try to build his confidence once again. If he chooses to fight Teo, he has the edge since Teo is not as tall as Ryan. Haney can use his length since he prefers to run and beat his opponent on the scorecard. Also, Teo lost to a slower Kambosos Jr. (who probably retired after losing to Loma), so I see that speed is a big advantage for Haney. However, in terms of power, I give Teo the edge.

I keep hearing Claggett's name over the years. He was a hot prospect before but I wonder if he is really a world championship fighter. This is his first title shot and he is fighting the division's lineal champ. Lately, a lot of upsets happened, and Teofimo is inconsistent with his performances so who knows another upset is coming.

Teofimo should be able to score a knockout here. This seems like a showcase fight for Teofimo. I usually root for the underdogs so I am hoping once again  that a new lineal champ will be crowned next month.

Same here, hoping that the ref will raise the hand of the new lineal champ but it seems that judges love Teofimo Lopez. Teo needs a knockout win here as to reassert himself in this division and intimidate his future opponents just like what happen when they fought Lomachenco.

For Claggett, he has already 7 losses and should take this fight seriously as a win would make him a household name and thanks Teo for giving this fight to him.

This is the biggest fight fo his career, for sure he'll do the best training to have the best stamina in the fight. I agree with @inthelongrun , Teofimo is incositent sometimes, probably because he is too cocky and underestimated his opponent so he loss his focus at times. Anyway, some say it's just a cherry picked fight for Teofimo, but let's see if that is true, I'm hoping that Claggett will deliver a great fight, it doesn't matter if he loss as long as he is not just fighting for the money and just to survive.

It looks like a cherry pick because Claggett has 7 losses already. But he is actually 11-1-9 KOs in his last 12 fights. He was beating guys that have decent records. So this guy cannot be underestimated as his overall record is misleading. The good thing about Claggett is he is also capable of hurting and stopping opponents, so Teofimo has to defend himself as well from getting hit by those power shots.

If the money is right then we can have Haney vs Pitbull Cruz. But so far we haven't heard anything from Haney's camp yet after that lost against Ryan Garcia and it seems that they are hell bent of having that lost be a NC because of Ryan's positive test. But there are still a lot of drama there as his lawyers are fighting it out that Ryan takes contaminated supplement.

I do agree with Subriel Matias case, he is the odd man out and so if he wanted to get the fame, then he should be the one calling this champion. However, he should understand that despite being a belt holder, he could be the B-side against any of this champions.

You can bet on Claggett to win and enjoy a x7 return of your bet if you have a feeling that it will be an upset. But as we can see on the odds, it tells us that this is just a cherry picked fight by Teo.


Its zero chance that I'm going to do that Teofimo should be at his worst if this guy upsets Teofimo, upsets do happen in a fight but the discrepancy in power and skill is just too wide for me to think that Clagget has a chance.

This is the reason why Teofimo is not attractive in the PPV he is putting his level down to face a fighter like Clagget.

If a boxer attains popularity he should sustain it by fighting top-level fighters or mandatory opponents or one that can attract sales, he defeated Josh Taylor he should sustain it by trying to get the top 3 boxers in his division, not someone out of that ranking.
What exactly he will get from this fight?

Right, it's really hard to see how Claggett will win here, unless Teo didn't prepare that hard in this fight and then go on a party before, similar to what Tyson did when he fought and lost the fight to Buster Douglas as later he reveal that the didn't train that hard and underestimate Douglas that time.

Teo is being manage by his Father, so 24x7 he is being monitored and see if he really trains and prepare on this fight very hard. So for sure Teo wanted to keep his title as he is the man at 140 lbs, the lineal champion and this is considered a get busy fight, meaning if he wins here, bigger fight awaits him in the future.

It could be but the upset that we have seen lately, it looks like the odds are very close. Nevertheless, I do agree that sometimes Teo's performance is unexpected, he will far bad against a fighter that has no name, but then show us something big that he is a elite fighter by beating big names like Josh Taylor and become the lineal champion.

So let's see what Claggett can offer here, he might give Lopez a good fight in the early rounds. But I don't think that Teo will take him lightly, his belt is on the line here. He doesn't want to lose his belt against a unknown boxer and then chase him for a rematch.

Odd are not close actually, if Claggett will win, it will be a big upset.

Let me play devil's advocate here, but what if Claggett upset Teo Lopez here? We all know that upsets do happen in boxing, and them thinking that they could get away by picking a non household name to win and make Teo looks good? It might back fire on them big time.
There's always a rematch clause, so Teo will take the fight seriously and take back the title but Steve will have shortlived glory and make a lot of money in return, but his bargaining power in big fights will be weak, he cannot expect a big paycheck if he faces the likes of Tank or Matias, when you are a big name in boxing every fight matters.

Quote
Or another scenario is that it's a close fight, up to the judges to score the fight and fortunately they give it to Lopez. But fight fans knows that Lopez lost that fight. So that's the problem with tune-up fight though, as the opponent has nothing to lose and will give everything he got and might pull an upset.
That again will weaken his bargaining power and his status as well, Lopez should take this fight seriously it looks easy but the stake is high if the situation is not in his favor, I hope after this, Teo will stop doing cherry pick fights he should establish his legacy and it should be continuous.

The only advantage s Steve Claggett has here is his experience in boxing as he has 38 fights but his loss record is bad with 7. I agree with ya all that this is just a cherry pick fight for him, and most of the time when a boxer cherry pick and opponent,  we know it's equivalent to an easy win. However,  let's just see what they can offer, hopefully this one is an entertaining fight and maybe Lopez is just gearing for another big fight after this.

This site has an odds of the fight, i'm not sure if it's accurate though.
