As with many big fights, people ask questions when a great fighter doesn’t do this or doesn’t do that. The answer more times than not is their opponent took it out of them with body work.
Lopez was punishing the body early and he never went away from it. Even when Loma caught punches with his arms and elbows you could see it was still punishing him. Loma didn’t throw as many punches as usual because the body work took it out of him. Loma didn’t move like he usually does because the body work took it out of him.
You had a bigger fighter with more power who never let up on the body. That’s the story. Respect to Lopez!
And that 12th was a thing of beauty.
