Diehard Loma fan here. He lost the Lopez fight. Literally gave away 7 rounds and even if you somehow give him the 12th, he still loses. I thought a draw would have been VERY generous. I'm not convinced Lopez beats him if he shows up with 2 arms but he lost that fight.
He beat Haney clearly though. That was some corrupt BS.
I will say this though. I have yet to see anyone beat Loma. He beats himself every time. Started way too slow vs Salido and ate tons of low blows, but he was in full control by the end of that fight, and if it had gone the old school distance, Salido gets stopped. Gave away the Lopez fight by not fighting, but when he actually decided to engage, he put it on Lopez good. Again, if that one goes 15, he wins the fight. Could have stopped Commey, but let him go the distance. Might have been able to stop Haney, but took his foot off the gas. Even winning 12 wouldn't have given him the win though with those scorecards. Haney was up 4 before the fight even started. But he had Haney in all kinds of trouble in 11 and then backed off.
I generally think about it that the scores say what they say, but who would you rather be by the end of the fight? That says something.
Loma is always his own worst enemy, and as a fan, it drives me up the wall. Imagine what a career he'd have had if he had a mean streak...QboboB Gaydrien Boner like this.

Lomachenko is naturally smaller than both Lopez and Haney. He would have won both fights if championship bouts were still 15 rounds. But they're only 12 rounds, and he gave away too many early rounds in each fight. By the middle of each bout he had more or less figured out how to neutralize his opponents' advantages and he won the majority of rounds in the second half of each fight. But by then he had already let too many rounds slip by without doing enough. You can't beat either Lopez or Haney by being cautious. His head needed to be in a different place at the beginning of those fights. He might have gone out on his shield, but they would have been more competitive fights.BigDaddySmooth Gaydrien Boner like this.

Haney us not going to lose fights unless he gets beat up. Too much of a stylist.
Game plans count sometimes. Teo had a bad one against the Aussie. Loma had a bad one against both of these fighters.
