If he fights anyone but Lopez next at 135, I won't watch him again. If he loses again to Lopez, I won't watch him again. This was a shameful display tonight. Like the loser in most the recent big fights lately, he did the exact opposite of what he told his fans he would do. Like, if he was purposefully trying to trick his fans out of their money, he couldn't have pulled it off better, acting one way but fighting the complete opposite.
Lomachenko has hurt every single fighter he's been in the ring with in his entire career, including and especially at 135. That's the kind of underrated power he has. But he throws barely any punches the first half of the fight vs Lopez supposedly because of Lopez's power. What about his own power? And now wouldn't you know, the younger, english speaking, American-Hispanic, trash talking Lopez, a boxing promoter's dream, wins all the belts in one night.
Before the fight, everyone said "Lomachenko by decision or TKO, or Lopez by KO." Instead, Lopez wins by decision. How come? Because Lomachenko threw no punches. Yet before the fight, everyone said "Lomachenko is the combination puncher, volume puncher, Lopez is the pot shot counter puncher." Then in the fight, Lomachenko throws career low punches, and Lopez throws, I'm guessing, career high punches against, by far, the best opponent of his career.
Oh and just for the cherry on top, the, who knows, 1000th ranked fighter on the planet, Nakatani, performed equal or better vs Lopez as Lomachenko. "But he's tall tho." Yeah, that totally explains it! If only Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez were tall, they'd be good at boxing! Oops... they're American and Mexican cash cows, so this doesn't apply to them. But for Loma, this is supposed to explain why he and Nakatani are equals at lightweight.
Forget about who you wanted to win... does anyone else get the impression we all just got played?
