kiko martinez in a title fight is a joke. he lost every second against gr jr in his last shot, won only 2 rounds against a very average zelfa barrett, and wins a pedestrian interim fight with a journeyman as his qualification. galahad is too good to even count this as a soft defense. typical of the ibf's atrocious rankings to lean on his status as a "former champ"... garbage.
From the Lopez articles I've read he seems determined to duck a Loma rematch and the reasons he gives are quite poor and rather immature.
The Loma rematch is still the most lucrative financially for Lopez and if he won again it would cement his superstar status - from these angles his refusal to take the fight is rather strange especially for a fighter so confident that he's better than any other lightweight.
I like the sound of Lopez fighting undisputed 140lb champ, Josh Taylor, as long as...
(1) It's at full 140lbs and not a catchweight - I don't want Josh weakened by having to drop more weight - and....
(2) It happens in Scotland or some UK venue - Josh is the champ at 140lbs and so is entitled to have home advantage.
Has Teo lost any respect after all this Trilla stuff ? It looks to me like he lost ground with the fans who were with him all the way after his Lomo fight Seems like all the money turned against him of for not reason then he had to stay out of the ring at the very least..........

The Bronze Bomber just stepped up.
Joet is talented. But I don’t think he’s got anywhere near enough power to keep Navarrete at bay. El Vaquero by 6th Round KO.
