there are 12 rounds in a fight. If you give away the first 6 and lost the 12th, that's 7 rounds you lost. And for the record, I don't like either one of these guys. you're just upset your hero lost while trying to convince us he was robbed and won a fight while being robbed with a hurt shoulder. Stop it. He lost. And he knew he lost in his post fight interview stating how strong Teo was.

I did not say that he was robbed. This is what I'm talking about. You just keep making **** up. I said it was a close fight. He had a hurt shoulder. That's a fact. Everything I'm saying are facts. Saying that someone is strong does not mean, "and therefore I lost." In fact, Loma has said repeatedly that it was a draw. So has everyone I have spoken to whom I respect because they are unbiased. So too have a lot of others, such as Ward, Robert Garcia, Teddy Atlas, Sporting News, ect. Others gave the slight edge to Lopez because of Loma not throwing for half the fight. But whatever the case, it was a close fight, and there was nothing to signify that another fight wound't be even better. Especially considering that Loma did have an injured shoulder, that he did get a TUE before the fight (unlike Manny with Floyd) and that he need it for the pain.
Everything points to a rematch being even better than the first. EVERYTHING.
And the truth of the matter, when watched in slow motion (because that helps some
), you can see that Lopez couldn't even hit Loma. The kid was swinging at air almost the entire fight, and if not that, then his shots were blocked. Loma on the other hand couldn't miss Teo. The kids head was bouncing off of his back every time Loma threw.
And that, right there, are the facts, plain and simple.

so if you're saying for 12 rounds Teo didn't land any punches and Loma landed at will and still lost, then you're saying he was robbed. right or wrong? lol

Obviously he landed punches. Don't be ridiculous. He hardly landed any, is what I'm saying, in relation to Loma.
Here, see for yourself: (1) Punch Count One (2) Punch Count Two
Those are two separate videos, one made by a guy that favored Lopez to win.
There's a video of this, you know, of the fight. You can't argue when it's right there, in your face.Comment

Have you ever had to push yourself through an injury before? Ever box before, or play sports before? It sounds as if you haven't. There was a QB for the Buccaneers who played through a busted spleen. Imagine that!! Think you could do that? I couldn't. But there are guys out there that push themselves beyond when they have to.Comment

Well, I'm not going to spend too much time anymore making these posts, but I did explain this before, from what he had said and from what I know about injuries. Also what I know about fighting.
I'll just tell you what I saw and think, and you can either agree or not. But this is what I saw:
Loma came into the fight injured but had had an injection with a TUE. He then was caught off guard a bit by Teofimo's speed and his boxing skills. You might not be familiar with Teofimo, but he was fighting differently in this fight. I believe this was Gamache's influence or plan. He was not fighting Loma as he usually fights southpaws. So this caused a bit of a delay for Loma to get going. (I also think that the year out of the ring didn't help.)
In the second round, Loma landed the more meaningful punches. This was obvious because Teofimo's corner brought out the end swell (and his wife screamed in the audience too). Loma's cornerman hardly did anything. Not once did the end swell come out. It was just vaseline the whole fight.
After that round, the offense seemed to stop. (Later Loma said that's because he felt a grinding or pop in his arm when he threw at the end of the second round.) He knew that if he tore his rotator cuff even more, he might not even be able to throw his right at all. So he decided to try to put himself in positions and angles that let him use his good arm.
This wasn't working because Teofimo was just too good. It had nothing to do with the power so much as what it was that Teofimo was doing in the ring with his lead hand and movement. Teofimo gave Loma absolutely nothing, which was fantastic and showed Lopez's skill.
It got the point where Loma was going to obviously lose the fight, so he had to just "sell out" and start using his arm for better or for worse. This began in the sixth round. You could call it an adjustment, I suppose. It was then that he started throwing as much as possible, risking worsening the injury. Even then, he wasn't using his right as much as he normally would.
The next day he had surgery immediately.Last edited by Cypocryphy; 09-16-2021, 12:01 AM.Comment
