Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: After Watching Lopez Fight A Lot Of Times, My Opinion It Was A Draw

[MrFynest]

I had Teofimo winning the first 6. I had Loma winning 7 through 11 and gave Teofimo round 12.

First, Masayoshi Nakatani is a big strong guy that gave Lopez all he could handle. Great fight that will show exactly where Lomachanko fits in the division. Second, I thought Lopez, and Salido both came in with a great plan and caught Lomachanko by surprise. It's also worth noting that both refused to give Lomachanko a rematch, both instead chose to fight lessor opponents for lessor pay.

No incorrect. BOB REFUSED THE “rematch.” How memories fail. If you recall Bob was trashing Hearn for all his rematch clause crap. He made those remarks right before inking the Lopez/Loma deal. Bob is responsible for no rematch clause or a run back of this fight; not Lopez.

[Aware]

And listen, I've got no problem with anyone saying that they felt Teo pulled it out at the last minute in Round 12. That's why I said it's a swing round.

"Dominated"? No.

"Clearly"? Hell no.

I personally didn't see much from Teo in that round. He missed more than he landed. He was dirty as hell. It's funny that people DON'T give rounds to Horn against Manny because he was dirty, yet when it's Crawford or Teo they get a pass.

My video clearly shows Teo hitting off the break, throwing elbows, initiating a headbutt at one point, and I don't even think he's a dirty fighter, but it was all he could do to keep Loma off of him. Did he land a couple of good shots? Absolutely, but you can't win a WHOLE round due to a few good punches.

When you've got a fight where one fighter is on the backfoot the majority of the fight (Teo), and having to resort to dirty tactics to keep them off, how can that be a domination?

12 was not a swing round. You didn't see much from Lopez because you're biased. I knew this to be true because in your video when you say, "at this point neither guy is really ahead..." clearly Lopez had done more work.

Lopez got lucky and that is why he won't give a rematch.

Incorrect...your memory fails you. See comments concerning rematches from Bob targeted at Hearn before this fight. There you will find your answer.

it was a draw and once loma let his hands go he won damn near every round. hence why lopez wont rematch him

[Saborconclave]

Had it 114-114 I believe Ward had it a draw as well. Though I gave Loma one early round (either 2 or 4th) Loma just waited too loing to get stated. There's a good reason Teofimo squashes the posibility of a rematch.

Just sad! He should be proud of himself for accomplishin what he did despite being to small for 135. He challenged himself like Garcia vs Spence and did better than Mikey.

Manny has some defeats but, he is universally respected now that he beat Thurman and put the excuses for the Floyd fight behind. Loma can do the same. As an athlete and a fighter, moving on and accepting defeat is not easy, that's why boxers come out of retrement when they shouldn't...

I get you Loma, I've been there but, you clearly lost that fight. One has to watch and rewatch to find ways to give you 5 of 12 rounds. Lopez easily gets 7 rounds.

Smoking Tank at a discount and max money on the rematch should have been your strategy.

[Ajvar]

I am shocked you guys take Loma's words seriously giving him credit even if his result now might be fair. Why? This guy blatantly said he won a fight which he clearly did not! He also said that judges were bought (again, they might have been biased but it comes from the mouth of a biased person who also said he won).

It was 50% Teos win 7-5 or 50% a draw... but Loma is full of sht, he should have asked forgiveness for at least some of his words and he did not.

[-Kev-]

...I have no words for this comment.

Straight up hypocrisy.


So let me get this right.

In ANY OTHER FIGHT, you guys are all over "who LANDED more" - but just because of this one, all you care about is a guy throwing and whiffing punches because he "looked" more active.

Ok.

Quote the whole damn thing.

Let me repeat it to you since you are doing some selective reading.

Lopez was busier, landed more. So it doesn't matter that he missed a lot. He landed more punches on Lomachenko than Lomachenko landed on him.

Is that clearer for you?

If I throw 200 punches at you in one round, and land 50. Yeah, terrible accuracy. But my accuracy does not matter if you're running around the ring pot shotting me and landing a measly 20 punches. In case you can't tell, these numbers are examples. Do not selectively quote them to say that I am saying that's what was thrown/landed.

50>20. that is 50 is greater than 20.

You get it?

TL;DR: It doesn't matter how much Lopez missed. He outlanded Lomachenko and was busier. Point blank period. It's not that hard of a concept.

[Beercules]

my man needs to re-watch the fight, lots of more times, to finally figure out that he lost 7-5

I like Loma too but the idiot didn't throw for like 7-8 rounds
