Even with the post-win burst of testosterone you can still see that Teofimo knows he’s the inferior animal there, licking his lips and moving around nervously.
I don’t know if Teofimo has the nerve to actually step in the ring with Lomachenko. I’d give him big credit just for being willing.

Lopez was more than willing. Where's that 'big credit' you were going to give him?

Props to Lopez if he goes after the fight!

He's young, talented. confident and testing himself. May not be the best thing for his career over all.... but as a fan what's not to like!
I can't but admire the kid. He seems to have that champion mentality where even if he loses vs Loma it'll make him even better. (Time will tell/confirm of course)
Look at Shakur and Ryan dicking around in their comfort zone against uncompetitive "competition".

He was born Hank Aaron Haney, in South Flintsby, New South Wales, Florida County, Michigan, fifth of April, 1987. He had a lisp, short arms and was 1/4 to 1/8 German, but mostly Chinese. His parents named him with a girl's name to fool and avoid a demon that plagued the male children of the Haney family. He would later rip the sink out of a bathroom or something and stop singing spiritual music. When he was just eleven, his father left home and his mother decided to abort his second cousin. Times were tough in the Haney family. That is when he left for Georgia on a fast train and made friends with fellow boxer Victor Ortiz. But things became bitter when they both tried to do a song about drums. Their manager said it was Ortiz's deal, and Haney turned pro, discouraged, bewildered, bewitched and be-bothered.

While he turned pro, his parents opened up a pizza parlor and Haney began to learn Kung Fu from an eccentric old man who tried to shoot him with a bow and arrow all the time. The local Shogun tried to foil Haney's plans to become a master fighter and even accosted him at a local movie theatre. They said if he beat the Shogun, he could beat The Matrix, another master from another world, different to that of his own world of dance TV, pizza and martial arts. Vanity was always Haney's problem. He believed in himself too much and changed his name to Hammerin' Hank, to honour the sodium bicarbonate guy with the arm. But then he had to change that name too, to Homicide Hank Aaron Lundy. No one knew that one day, just thirty years after that, in one of the next century eras, that he would be a potential defeater of the nearly undefeated Vaselini Lomachenkovalevschko. AKA...The Matrix. A man who, counting his amateur background, was 1000-6 with 1 newspaper no contest. All six losses were either avenged or masterfully ignored.

Linares for me is the best and most accomplished fighter loma faced. I don't know why linares doesn't get the credit he deserves he's a 3 (correct me if I'm wrong) weight division champ and is a veteran. The knock down he scored against loma was no lucky shot. Ryan garcia is gonna be humbled if he thinks linares is gonna be easy

It’s a long time between fights for Lomachenko. Almost seems like he is retired, on his way out. He had a long amateur career. He should still easily dispatch this guy, but I think Loma is old for his age. I don’t think he has had the same passion in the pro game, there seems to be some fire gone.

Interesting possibility. Hard to believe Loma is 32 y-o already. That's definitely getting up there for the lighter weight divisions, and Loma's style is extremely dependent on his reflexes & his legs, which are the 2 things that start to go first.

And as you say, he may also be mentally tired. It's hard to train at the elite level, at any age, but over time it becomes a real chore. He may be at the point where he wants to coast a little, and start enjoying life more.

Man, sucks for the profit margin of promoters. Boxing would be doing ridiculous fucking numbers with the quarantine. Arum was dumb not to put on those "no audience" shows when he had the chance. It is wildly irresponsible, though, like @Bob Weaver mentioned. Uh, I miss watching boxing, though. I feel like that's the thing I miss the most with the quarantine.
