Hahahah eat a ****k

There’s nothing civil about you haters alll you do is hype up a certain type of fighter even when they don’t deserve it.

We run this ****tt get use to it

Don't deserve it my @ss

You don't even know what you're looking at

You're a fighter fan, not a boxing fan.

P@ss off

Another Great White Hope bites the dust.

That's why I can't say Loma has heart! Them body shots had him shook, and they wasn't that serious! I would grade Lopez's performance a "B" and he won 7-5! Shameful!

No you can’t say that he just thought this young pup will tire let me buy my time. When he realised he isn’t going away he took the fight to Teo. Threw caution to the wind and stepped to the big man and was caught clean endless times and kept coming

Backflip on dey ass!

[Noelanthony]

Yeah, as the bigger dude, in the final round of a close fight, he turned it on. He even hurt Loma.

No one is dis*****g that. But Lomachenko hung in there. And again, the Ref thought he was babysitter. Everytime Lopez wanted the fight reset, he got what he wanted. That seriously affected Lomachenko's ability to apply his offense, which based less on raw power and more on skill and experience.

It won Lopez the round, but on my score card he was still down a round. For Ward, it was what Lopez needed to secure a draw.

You know Boxing better than Andre Ward!?

Does ward know it better than Bradley and the other commentators that gave it to Lopez ?

Lol at you trying to appear like a non-bias expert. You ruined the act by saying Lopez "possibly won round 12."

I am biased but I'm no Lopez hater.

That's the difference. I'm a boxing fan first.

And I've accepted that Loma lost that round by consensus, but he still wins the fight on my card, as I explained.

I hear you bro I agree. I’m even watching the first 6 rounds and what did Teo actually do that made Loma not engage? Maybe they underestimated Lopez like I did but you would expect an experienced fighter like Loma to have the answers before the 7th round. Lopez made him look ordinary but I will commend both their hearts today

Loma could tell that he had too much snap and power early. If he was too brazen, he would have been looking up at stars. It was the right move but he waited 2 rounds too late. (BS cards not considered of course)

i don't think loma was scared of lopez power, in the second half he didn't look scared at all, i think he was just to confidence in his game plan and it backfired. he did look good in the end while lopez looked tired. loma's rounds were more clear than lopez and other than the low blow lopez was the one looking hurt at moments, loma just has better stamina.

I'm with you man. I watched the fight with an entire Pub with no sound and EVERY fan in that pub believed they saw that yes, Loma was studying Lopez for the first 4 rounds, but after that he was landing, outboxing, outmanoeuvring and making Lopez miss.
Any punches Lopez threw landed on the gloves. I rarely saw a punch land on Loma.
Everyone had it 7-5 for Loma, and I understand why Loma alked out of that ring in disgust.
Basically Lopez threw more, but Loma landed more. It could have been a draw, but those wide margin cards for a Lopez shutout? ridiculous

I think it was more the emotional impact of Loma's strategy and lack of urgency early. His fans were frustrated, his detracors relished in the fact that he wasn't running away with the fight as exected.

But yeah, maybe I was too generous, but I scored some early rounds 10-10. I gave the last round to Lopez. I had it 115-114 Lomacheno. But I don't have a problem with anyone who gave Lopez a NARROW victory.

[BLASTER1]

Cong**** to Lopez.
****** gameplan coming in from the Ukrainians.
