Wow did Lopez' trash-talk age poorly! Classic case of Lopez looking past a good fighter and failing to realize Kambousis was undefeated, prepared, skilled and NOT looking past it, instead peaking and ready to make his own dreams come true.
Loma is already #1 with the WBC & WBO and if he beats Commey he may end up #1 with all of the sanctioning bodies and imo will deserve the chance of redemption against Lopez.
However Lopez is considering any fight other than Loma - he is talking about weight issues and moving up to 140lbs but then suddenly mentions a fight with Haney at 135lbs - what Teo and his father says at different times simply doesn't make sense.
As long as Loma beats Commey without injury then the pressure on Lopez to give Loma a rematch will grow and if Lopez still continues to ignore Loma then imo many fans will conclude that Lopez is on the run and is trying to avoid another fight with Loma.
After Lopez' loss, a Loma rematch might be a good $ option for him to consider...though I don't know if Loma should take it b/c he's still undersized against Lopez. That said, Loma is elite and the revenge factor would play big. I would definitely pay to see it.
