Lopez says no rematch for Loma

I don`t blame him. He just got a big victory in a fight where he was a clear underdog.

he knows he'd lose the rematch thats why, lomachenko had figured him out in the second half of the fight Didn't look like it in the 12th round.

GREAT point!!! Lopez out and all four belts up for grabs now??? I just dont get it? As someone said even Hearn won't let his fighters team go full RTARD like this. Look at AJ? Way the fuk out of the country in a GIANT sized ring. Yeah AJ had more of reason to not have a rematch clause he was fighting a last minute replacement.... And his promoter knew better.... Leave arrogance outta of business decisions!

well, it was close but hearing that they were not planning on giving him a rematch then i guess i understand

It’s smarter to say no rematch to establish bargaining position. The real question is whether Loma wants one. He says he thinks he won but he didn’t actually say he wanted a rematch. If he does, his team needs to put together an offer for Lopez that is too attractive to turn down.

Loma is guaranteed to get a title shot at one of the 4 vacant belts when Lopez moves up to 140. I can't see a rematch because Lopez can't make the weight easily, but he could give Loma a rematch if the money is good enough to justify the spartan diet and water cut.

That’s on Loma’s team if they didn’t put in a rematch clause. I doubt Lopez’s team would have objected. They put their guy in a position of losing all his titles and having no contractual obligation to give him a shot to win them back. Bad business by Loma’s team.

Not bought, just incompetent. You're right. Bad choice of words.

Oh no doubt Dunn Lopez was f***king him up in the 12th. I'm not saying Lomachenko would definitely win a rematch at all...in fact, Lopez would be favored. I'm just saying that it would be possible. There are some fans out there acting as if Lomachenko would have a 0% chance to win a rematch. And that's absurd. A fighter of Lomachenko's caliber would of course have a shot to win. Also a fighter of Lomachenko's caliber would make a lot of adjustments based on how the first fight went, He'd be better prepared mentally and physically with regard to stamina issue. I suppose Lopes would also make a few adjustments.

The other thing I liked about Floyd was he made sure the rematch wasn't close. All the greats are able to adapt.

Based on the scoring the judges could have been bought for sure. Needlessly so though as Lopez was the clear winner just not by so large a margin. Not bought, just incompetent.

Lomachenko would ko this fool. that fight was a draw at most. Teo by a round is completely acceptable.

If this was 130 or below I’d agree with you. I think at 135, Loma is in the same type of situation Floyd was at 154. I will say this-Loma’s defense is so good that he could tire anyone out and win late. But honestly I see this as a Forrest/ Shane or Raheem/Morales deal where the other guy has the size, speed and strength on his side and will always be a bad matchup.

One thing I always loved about Floyd was that he'd immediately give a guy a rematch if it was a close fight. The other thing I liked about Floyd was he made sure the rematch wasn't close.

Arum calls the shots, not Teofimo. If Arum does not want the rematch in order to protect his new star, then we know he most likely rigged the judges in the fight. Like Pac Bradley and Pac Horn. Based on the scoring the judges could have been bought for sure. Needlessly so though as Lopez was the clear winner just not by so large a margin.

First let loma earn it have him face Haney or tank andnif he wins he gets the rematch and it would be that much bigger. Yes! This is what should happen and it will make for several interesting fights.

Lomachenko would ko this fool. So why didn’t he?

Honestly, it’s a shame they didn’t put the rematch clause in, cuz if it doesn’t happen soon, it’ll probably never happen.

Well, they haven't even really capitalized off this fight as it had no gate, so I guess there should be some money that could be made. Maybe their happy with just having the few face they can headline (against anyone) when fans come back. I'd imagine being able to do it next year at MSG with Teo coming in as THE guy, doing it his own way with his people in attendance. Berlanga on the undercard again; maybe a resurgent Verdejo as well. Loma fought a couple times there - could be a hyped up event. Like the Trinidad and Cotto days (yes, I know Lopez is not PR, just speaking of NYC boxing crowd) I supposed they could do all that and put Lopez up with a patsy and still make money so there's that going against a rematch. I just feel like, yes, I saw enough to say Teo won clearly, yet wanted to see the fight continue on? Teo was just starting to put it on him after getting touched up in previous rounds..action was still very tight

Lomachenko would ko this fool. that fight was a draw at most.
