Comments Thread For: Lopez-Lomachenko: Tyson, Atlas, Crawford, Pacquiao, Spence React

That is so true but he lost so it doesn’t matter or maybe the judges were disgusted that the supposed P4P no 1 did not want to engage till the 7th round. Either that or seeing Loma dominate the 11th then watching him come out in the 12th and nearly get stopped perhaps they wanted to award Lopez a 10-8 round
Let’s not get it twisted I thought Lomachenko would embarrass Lopez and keep him and his dad’s mouth closed for ever. He should go back to 130 and work hard to get back in the top 10

The End

I had Lopez up one or two points perhaps. Loma did start too late indeed, but in the last rounds he was more effective than Lopez, with subtle and less visible work, a bit like Ward in the first Kovalev fight.

Anyhow, Lopez fought an excellent fight.

Why is Spence thanking Teofimo? Lol!

I'm almost certain it's because he bet money on Lopez. Therefore, making Spence's pockets fatter, hence the, "Thanks Lopez."

Fair assessment, but Eastern Europeans must stop fighting in Vegas if they want at least fair scores

I say that without the crowd judges are judging differently. They are no longer being being persuaded by the crowd in their scoring. Are they doing a better job now that they are not being manipulated by the crowd? Well, I guess that depends on your point of view.

Lopez was busier. Loma wasnt until the 7th. 12th rnd all Lopez

All sound good

Except for that bias pos Atlas who’s still trying to taint Lopez win.

Fuxxxk that pos Atlas.

No, you may not like what he says but he is few that speaks 100% the truth. He has been fighting boxing corruption for years and you should be on your knees thanking him every day for it because he is one of few saying something daily about it. Last night was another prime example. Two things can be right at the same time. Great night for boxing as certainly the right guy won 100%. However the scorecards were an utter embarrassment to the sport.

Teddy out his got dam mind!

I lost a bet on this but knew it could go the other way due to power, youth and size advantages did I think the young man would stay composed the full distance; No! Teddy such a ****ed up person and he’s never built any fighter that wasn’t already good before he worked with them. We wouldn’t even know your ass had Michael Crazy ass Moore not given you an opportunity. In fact that’s what you are an opportunist! Manny did the same thing stole fighters and took all the dam credit, you MF’ers kill me like you created the sport. Lomenchenko got his ass kicked fair and square!!!!!

You may not like his persona but he’s done great works with troubled kids inside and outside the ring. He’s reinvigorated boxing careers of those that people wrote off (Timothy Bradley) and made them champions again. Your critique of him couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s harnessed great champions (Mike Tyson amateur career). He’s a HOF trainer for a reason and a great ambassador and philanthropist for the sport.

Makes sense, it definitely stood out to me when I saw the quote. Obviously these are also quotes someone just picked up for the article, so it's not like he was being interviewed or anything like that.

[super-x]

I dont think anyone is arguing about Lopez getting the win. Its more about 1 judge giving 11 rounds to lopez. That was just absurd. 116 - 112 across the board would have been totally fair had no one moaning. But at this rate had loma won 7 rounds instead of 4 he would still not have gotten the nod on that scorecard. Everyone deserves a fair shake for there effort even in defeat.

[Greenfield02]

Spare me your comments Atlas, I could say fans deserve better than Loma crying and not taking his licks like a man. Regardless of what the scores said the right man won, really anything from 115-113 to 117 to 111 I don't have a problem with it's all about perception and Loma did absolutely nothing for the first 7 rounds. Now stop being a sore loser.
