Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-12-14, pretty good fight between Richard Commey and Teofimo Lopez: it gets three stars.The Ibf Lw champion Richard Commey entered this fight with a pro record of 29-2-0 (26 KOs=90%) and he is ranked as the No.2 lightweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Vasyl Lomachenko). He lost two consecutive fights in 2016, both via split decision, against Robert Easter Jr (Robert Easter Jr vs Richard Commey) and Denis Shafikov (Denis Shafikov vs Richard Commey) but then he has won five bouts defeating Isa Chaniev (Richard Commey vs Isa Chaniev) and Raymundo Beltran in his last two (Richard Commey vs Raymundo Beltran).
His opponent, the undefeated former Olympian Teofimo Lopez, has a perfect boxing record of 14-0-0 (11 KOs=79%) and he entered as the No.4 in the same weight class. In his last three bouts he has won over Diego Magdaleno (Teofimo Lopez vs Diego Magdaleno), Edis Tatli (Teofimo Lopez vs Edis Tatli) and Masayoshi Nakatani (Teofimo Lopez vs Masayoshi Nakatani).

Anyone think Lopez can beat Loma? Lopez certainly thinks he can, so even if that’s only hubris the fight will be interesting. He’s fast and dangerous, and he has the body size advantage over the smaller Loma who belongs at 130. I expect it ends up looking a lot like Loma’s fight with Campbell, maybe with a surprise or two, in an education for the young showoff.
It’s possible
Loma is risking a lot as his natural weight is lower. He went up over 30 yr of age which is not easy. He is also relatively old. The risks for Loma are big punchers or Crawford. Let’s see.
fantastic win. the deception on the back hand from Lopez gets to me lol. loma vs Lopez is a great fight
Genuine boxing with two well matched oponents. This could have been anyones fight. He looks like that he has the skill set to give lomo a run for his money, he also has a great deal of self confidence.
Roll it on!!!!
