Came across some nice GIFs. Couldn't upload them all.
Although Lomachenko did not win this fight, the second half of the fight was a thing of beauty.

I'm a Loma fan but I count this as his one and only loss. He waited too long to get into the fight. Gave away the first 5 or 6 rounds. He was robbed against Haney and Salido should have been DQ'd or had points deducted on several occasions.
I have a difficult time believing Tank will fight him later this year. He did say he would consider him when he turned 40, Loma will be just shy of his 37th birthday by December.
I agree.
Pretty remarkable how well Loma has done against guys physically bigger than him, yet he doesn't end up on the right end of the decision. In those gifs alone, you can see how much bigger Teo was than him. Against Haney, again Loma looked like a midget. He just comes up a tad too short or they don't give him the decision because they know he's on his way out while these younger guys are the future of the sport, so they rather give them the win in close (not even close) fights.

No wonder Lopez has a Snoz the size of an elephant trunk! Seriously though, in slow mo you can really see Loma's superb form. He hardly telegraphs, if at all. I love how he always is the right distance, those were some hellacious shots he delivered, I am suprised Lopez did not go down. Very little wasted movement from Loma... beautiful technique.
Imagine the cowardice of running from Loma after that fight. Embarrassing.

Why doesn't he do it then instead of fighting nobodies it's not like Tank isn't aware of the criticism around his resume why wouldn't he fix that and take on some actual competition?
Yup, it's the cherry picking Mayweather way. Tank and his team didn't want any of a prime Loma at 130 and waited till he got older and fighting out his best weight class.
Being the younger, fresher, bigger, stronger and at his best at 135 lbs, the ball is in Tank's court.
Lmbao......You really think those love taps are going to bother Tank at all? Davis is going to eat those shots with pleasure then cock back and flatten Lomachenko worse than he did Santa Cruz.

Loma boxed well, but he did NOT win this fight. I had it 7-5 Teofimo and though the 12th round decided it. I am a pretty big Loma fan and wanted him to win, but Teofimo proved many of us wrong. I wish he gives Loma a rematch, but I do not believe Loma would win. Unfortunately he is on the wrong side of 30 and has a good amount of boxing 'miles' on that body. Will always root for him though. Cheers!
What do you think now?
"There's no point in fighting Lomachenko," Lopez said to ESPN. "I think that moving forward. That's all it is, keep moving forward. Everything happened for its reasons. That's really it. I beat the man that everybody said was the man. When the going went tough, he backed off. So now it's all about staying forward on it."
Fuckin boxingscene clowns...

Lomadeaux's definition of trolling is kind of vague and essentially seems like if you disagree with him, or have another opinion, you may or may not be a troll?
Bit of a strange fella but obviously passionate about boxing.
What?... I replied to a post from a dude who doesn't get it late... What the hell are you talking about? Trolling.... I literally ENDED the entire trolling of the Lopez-Loma fight. With a SINGLE post.........
He doesn't seem to keen to give him a rematch, at least until he's lost a step or two, very like Mayweather would do. He should have been thankful that Lomachenko gave him the opportunity, instead of shooting off his big mouth all the time. Plenty of wind anyway, mostly hot air.
He seems very narcissistic.
But Mayweather granted immediate rematches to the 2 close fights he had?
In fairness to him, tho, he was taking fire from everywhere. Too much critique to defend against all at once. I'm sure he's still a good poster.
That's fair and yeah I tried to acknowledge that in the 2nd line there. Anyone who loves boxing has something to contribute here.
