Well actually quite a few people thought it might happen - Commey's defence has always been leaky, and knowing Lopez could **** hard and fast, especially early, the bookies had him favourite for a reason.
Difference Commey to Loma is moving rom a leaky defence to a defence that's one of the best in the business. It was always on the cards that he would catch Commey with something heavy early on as Commey isn't tight defensively (remember Easter catching him flush and buckling his knees, and Easter doesn't hit like Lopez) - its possible Lopez could catch Loma with something big, but far less likely.
Remember that Rigo couldn't land anything on Loma, and that's nothing to do with size, he just couldn't hit him, so if Rigo couldn't do it, question becomes whether Lopez can do what Rigo couldn't.
Remember what Loma does - he moves so that the opponent is rarely able to sit down on their punches as they have to keep adjusting their feet - Lopez' power comes from being able to sit down on his punches like he did with Commey. But its boxing, anything can happen.
