    Loma was dropped in a close fight against the poor man's Khan, Linares, who'd been stopped twice in the same division by B level fighters, and he had his hands full against Campbell. Loma is a good fighter no doubt but he'd never proven himself to be some next level dynamo like he was hyped.

      Lol. Loma dominated rounds 7-11. 12th was a great round that I had Lopez winning.

      There was no round that Lopez “dominated” Loma.

      You’re an idiot calling Loma “premature” or whatever anti-white bull**** you’re on.

        Teo won, but not freaking 9 rounds to 3.
        Loma should have punched when Teo was punching a lot more .

        Rematch betting odds will be interesting

          yeah but that’s boxing......loma showed from rounds 7-11 that he could take over and if he started a little earlier maybe Lopez would not have had that 12 round in him....you don’t take anything out of a fighter if you don’t land leather on him.....the point is with 6rounds down it leaves you with no margin or error and you have to win those last 6 or you lose...6 rounds is to long to late against a younger , bigger and fresher opponent no matter how good you are...it’s mathematics nothing else

            Well this def ain’t his best weight class although he’d whup almost all of these lightweights. No shame in that.

              Probably try to make Lopez spend his energy early and drown him late. Power punchers usually fade during late rounds. Didn’t work quite well for Loma though

              Maybe he couldn’t exchange with Lopez early on as he sees his firepower too dangerous and too risky for KO to happen

                Gotta do more than not do anything to drain a person's tank

                Loma should have known better.

                  Some Fanbases needed to be Humbled! AJ fans got Humbled last year, Wilder fans early this year and NOW Loma fans and they all needed it!

                    Maybe he thought Lopez was going for a KO early and thought he could drain energy by making him miss by dancing around....

                    Too hard to understand actually. It’s like Einstein tried to make an unpopular decision that didn’t work

                      I like both guys but picked Loma to win a UD due to his experience

                      Teo won the rds Loma gave him. Teo wasn't explosive in those rds.

                      The rds Loma won, he won.

                      The better man won but almost lost. A fight of 2 halves.
