I would have said Sr throws in the towel but I think Loma really wants to hurt him and will carry him as long as he can. His opponent isn't Sr its Jr. The guy in the ring.
The most likely scenario I am seeing is that Loma starts slow, works out Lopez over the first two rounds, then starts to dominate. He hits the accelerator in the second half of the fight.
Lopez tries to be the aggressor and the bully to begin with, but Loma plays him like a matador plays with a bull. Lopez finds that his strategy isn't working, and tries to adapt. He actually has some boxing skills, so he tries to box Loma - but Loma is on another level.
Lopez swaps between trying to box, trying to slug and trying to bully, with none of it working. He gets frustrated, but manages to keep his composure for at least most of the fight, perhaps all of it. He resigns himself to losing each round, and looks for the opportunity to land a KO punch. It doesn't come.
He rallies once or twice, perhaps around round 8 he has his best round.
Loma wins in a basic shutout. 10 rounds to 2. Some people will think Lopez could have edged rounds 3 or 4 but the judges don't see it that way.
Lopez will dictate the tempo with aggression and not moving back in the first 3 rounds. He won't give Loma a space and the ability to control anything, or get into rhythm. Punch everywhere, focus on body. Get a little dirty if you can get away with it.

Ha, that's quite precise chief... and plausible.
Here's scenario 17a: Lopez gets more and more frustrated as the fight goes on. He's trying to copy Salido, with some rough housing, stepping on Loma's foot, hitting after the bell, holding, and eventually starts the low blows. He gets a warning, then point deduction, and eventually DQ'd in round 10 or 11.
He's visually upset with the outcome. Sr. is yelling.
Then Lomachenko does a flip and the cha-cha...
Peace.
