1 year ago today Neofimo Lopez mastered the Matrix.

Rematches are for competitive fights.

Fury-Wilder 3 defeats that logic alone. Lopez-Loma was pretty competitive too. 8-4 to 7-5 Lopez is generally how most people saw it.

I feel like a lot of you are simply scared Loma regains his titles. I actually think Lopez wins again, either way surely you’d rather see this than Lopez-Kambosos and Loma-Commey.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

exactly my thoughts

one of the most overrated wins I have seen in memory

I think it was very good win.

A lot of people talk about what Loma didn’t do, but fail to realise what Teofimo didn’t let him do.

I think Loma can be better for sure but so can Teofimo IMO.

The rematch is very interesting to me.

So Loma decided to fight a young talented explosive fighter, instead of ducking him. He didn't drain him, which guys in his position in the recent past have done.

He just wanted to challenge himself and ended up not quite having enough that night. It happens.

It's a shame though that people out there try to take shots at him for how he went about making that fight, and instead laud people like we-all-know-who, who would drain guys and avoid guys if it's a dangerous fight.

A lot of women masquerading as men on this site.

Dude he took the fight because it was the biggest payday, not for any other reason. In fact when Bob suggested another opponent when Teo wanted More loot, espn told Bob and Loma a different opponent would result in a lower purse.

He didn’t expect Teo to box like he did and lost because of that. Give Teo the credit.

Stop making this out to be Loma going against the grain and doing something great.

Nothing intriguing about this fight for me. The first wasn't that good or that exciting. It's the hope of the Loma fan club that he regains those garbage belts and are for the rematch for that reason alone. The rematch is more about the pride of his fanboys than the fighter himself. The critics don't care about that.

No rematch. Loma needs to work his way up again, even try 140, do anything.

Not a Lopez fan here either.

Whenever you lie, you lose more and more credibility. And then you lie about ****** ****. **** that doesn't even matter. Why do you do that? You have a learning disability or something? I'm being serious. Do you?

Loma said from day one that he wanted to unify the division. From day one. Lopez ended up with a belt, and Lopez was in Loma's way to unification. He didn't have to do that. He could have sat on the belts he already had. That's all he had to do. But he didn't. This is well documented history, and no matter what fantasy you, as a wee little man, have going on in your wee little brain, has no baring in the real world. That's your wee little fantasy. Why this is your fantasy is something you have to figure out. But when you spout this garbage on the forum, the only person you are hurting is yourself. And you know what? I'm not going to stop you. Carry on.

And by the way, Loma is still making the fights at 135. No one else is doing that. Look at Devin "Huggies" Haney. That kid is not only ducking Lopez, he's ducking everyone at 135. He had an opportunity to make a fight deal with Arum back in spring, and he flaked. You want a fight at 135, Arum is the guy to talk to. You want a fight at 140, Arum is the guy to talk to. He could have made a fight but he didn't. Then he goes on social media and cries like the little baby he is, about how no one wants to fight him. How the **** can he say that when his blatantly passing up opportunities to make the fights. I can go down a list of fighters that aren't doing ****. Ryan "Cold Feet" Garcia turns into a chicken **** whenever a fight is about to happen, coming up with dumbass excuses. Lopez his talking about everyone but the guy who's in front of him. We still don't have a date for Lopez vs Kambosos. Kid is holding the belts hostage because he says he's not going to fight anyone but Taylor. Then he says he's going to fight Haney now. What happened about Taylor? What about Kambosos?

Say what you want, but the only guy I see making fights happen is Loma and arguably Tank, although after this fight with Rolly, it's time for Tank to fight a real fight.

Such an odd response to be honest. If it was just about the payday, why didn't he take liberties as the A side (that we've seen other A-sides do, sadly) and demand a weight clause?

I haven’t seen it since watching it live last yr. from what I can remember, the 1st half, it was like Loma was asleep. It wasn’t so much what Lopez was doing. It was Loma just not engaging.

I think Loma realized that he needs to put his foot on the gas a little more. Once Loma started engaging more, the bout became more evenly matched and interesting. No one was really taking over and Loma did land good. Going into the 12, it had the feel like Loma needed to win the round, but I remember Lopez hurting Loma and taking the 12th.

I think Loma might have felt Lopez’s power and got gun shy. Close and still competitive, but Loma just gave away the first half of the bout. Could a rematch go any differently? Maybe, but Loma isn’t getting any younger.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It is very simple. If Lopez wants another big fight, he must rematch Loma, or fight, Davis or Haney.

And no, he didn`t destroy Lomachenko.

Lomachenko haters don`t want a rematch, because Lopez would lose.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Rematches are for competitive fights.

So, I don`t know why I had to see Fury beating Wilder`s sore ass 3 times.

[KTFOKING]

Don't straw man here. I said it was a close, competitive fight. Swing rounds were round two and round 12. I had it a draw. Ward had it a draw. Garcia said he could see a draw. Sporting News had it a draw. Other outlets had it a draw, like Ring Magazine. Teddy Atlas had it a draw. etc. etc. It is what it is but what it is not was a clear victory for Lopez. And in that sense, Lopez got lucky because the judges decided to give him the belts. You need to be honest with yourself here, for your sake, for your ability to judge fights correctly.

So LIS, there is NO ONE that Lomachenko winning.

Now do you want me to list all the people that had Lopez winning?

Even the best Lomachenko could come up with was..."I thought it was a draw."

Round 12 was not a swing round, that was a clear round for Lopez.

And round 2? Yeah, you were looking to give rounds to Lomachenko. The man threw like 10 punches a round in the first 7 rounds.

NO ONE had Lomachenko winning while plenty had Lopez winning 8-4 or even 9-3.

Get over it.
