I’ve been saying for a while that the kid is a cerebral fighter. Pointed out a few times that he was the only guy among fighters and trainers who picked Fury by stoppage over Wilder. He put $1,500 on it and shared why he thought it’d play out that way. Nailed it. He not just some strong kid with a punch.

Loma joined the fight late. Probably long downtime, or got worse due to age.
But by my opinion he won 115-113.
2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 - Lomachenko.
1, 3, 4, 5, 12 - Lopez.
2 and 6 was closed.
I can understand decision 115-113 Lopez or 114-114.
What about 119-109 - it's bias and corruption.
We even can't talk about incompetence. Anyway nothing new for boxing.
117-111 - also very strange decision.
Hope to see an immediate rematch.

Lots of props to Lopez. I thought he would get outboxed, outclassed, and look lost in there. Instead he was more powerful, faster, more active, landed more and just all around better at almost everything. Serious props despite the terrible scoring. Dude won fair and square but not 119-109.

I knew the ridiculous 119-111 scorecard would give Loma fans wiggle room to whine about corruption and say Loma won. He clearly didn’t. Julie Ledderman has to be put down for good.

The scores were close to absurd, but the right man won. I had Lopez up one point or so. He fought a very disciplined fight.

I don't know which fight those who had it for Lopez were watching, but Loma defintely landed more clean shots, dominated with his jab and controlled the pace.
His footwork was superb, and Lopez swung and missed alot with many punches landing on the gloves. I had it at least 7 rounds to 5 for Loma as he didn't do much in the first 3-4 rounds, but he pressed the action halfway, and many of the rounds were too close to call.

It's punches landed, not punches thrown - Loma was tattooing Lopez with left-right-left combination and flush jabs from rounds 4&5 on.

He did not look confident but I will say he showed heart when being outlanded and outmanoeuvred almost all of the time.

I definitely had it for Loma with a draw being slightly possible.

I wouldn't blame Loma if he retired after this robbery. I watched this fight in a pub, and everyone had the fight for Loma, with no sound on.

No wonder boxing is in decline. I'm disheartened by the corruption.

Fights are scored by rounds not who landed the most punches throughout, but by the rounds. Loma didnt really do much for the first 8 rounds.

Wow. Cong**** to Lopez and his team. What a performance. He made me a fan last night.

I believed that the overall skillset of Loma would be too much for the young man, met woah how foolish Lopez made me and my opinions look.

He has arrived and i do expect him to be here for a long time.

Good job. And cong**** to all of his fans who were really vocal and right!

[JonDP]

How about that rematch clause Loma? You’re screwed bud, expect to fight Lopez again when you’re 36
