The man is making a lot of sense and I thought he'd be really arrogant in victory but he's actually playing it pretty cool. Loma was a sore loser if anything.Comment

I don't think the scores were way off.. The 119-109 was the widest, giving Loma only one round. But any other round where Loma had success, so did Teo. They were swing rounds, maybe 3 of them in the fight.
So you could be generous to Loma and score those rounds for him, or be generous to Lopez and score those rounds for him. Or score them a draw. It just turned out tonight the judges gave the swing rounds to Lopez instead of Loma. If you seen the Campbell vs Loma fight, in that one all the judges gave the swing rounds (and there were a lot of them) to Loma, so the scorecards appear very wide in Loma's favor but that was a close fight. Much closer than the Lopez fight.Comment

This. 119-109 may be a little too wide and it's giving Loma's fans something to complain about but I had it 116-112 as did one of the judges and I'm fine with the 117-111 score because it's just the difference of one round (I believe he gave the 9th to Lopez).I don't think the scores were way off..

The fight looked similar to the Campbell fight in that Loma was struggling to get into his rhythm because of the difference in reach but Campbell didn't have the same power Lopez had to deter Loma's attacks and Campbell's footwork wasn't as effective as Teo's when it came to controlling the distance. Basically Teo had a similar plan to Campbell but executed it more effectively and won the rounds more clearly.Comment
