He backpedalled bribery accusations (his manager told him to) but he couldn't stop lighter excuses come up:
- I couldn't throw right jab, right hook, right uppercut;
- I tried in 2nd round but shoulder pinched so had to slowdown again;
- Lopez didn't surprise me, I won't give him credit for fighting how I expected him to fight;
- I see a draw at least, maybe I won 7 rounds if you count punches;
- compubox lies: Lopez landed only 150, not 183 (Loma has 141), those were barely touching me, not flush.
- I want a rematch, Lopez is afraid to loose, they know they got lucky they won;
- MY FAVORITE: Before the 12th round, my corner told me I was losing the fight, I didn’t think much about it. I did what I had to do, but, of course, he landed the punches in the 12th round... but If Lopez says he can win me 100 times straight he should prove it, rematch.
This last one is transferable for the next 99 times, LOL.
And other bunch of Coca-Excusela Light where Lomachenko went full expert on mathematician, philosopher, psychologist, lawyer, video operator, doctor and even scientologist to prove how he didn't loose.
I concur
He screwed up by waiting too long to start fighting. He did it to himself. Stop crying.
Loma waited too long and basically gave the fight away. Lopez won the 12th because he was fresh and not challenged for the 6 rounds. I doubt Lopez would have been able to fight in the 12th with that much energy if he had to fight harder, earlier on. The bottom line is Loma didnt do enough (anything really) for the first 6 rounds. He should stop making excuses, it's on him.
This is similar to Mayweather-Pacquiao post-fight when Pacquiao wouldn't give the victor his props and instead claimed a pre-existing shoulder injury as a major factor for the loss. Or Donaire after being schooled by Rigo. Or Wilder after he became Fury's disciple.
At least Callum Smith admitted that even if his arm wasn't damaged early in the fight against Canelo, the outcome wouldn't have been different.
I’m a huge Lola fan but you lost the fight man, just accept it.
is that your pet name for him? is there something going on here that we should know about?
Big Loma fan, but this is ridiculous. I thought you could have it 114-114 if you gave every possible round to Loma, but realistically something like 116-112 for Lopez was right....
