        Lomas game plan was to let Lopez punch himself out and finish the fight late.

        They tried to rope a dope but couldn't finish the fight when it counted. Outboxed? No. That was definitely part of the gameplan evident by what came out of Lomachenkos corner.

        When Lomachenko chose to box he won the rounds far wider than Teo did. Many of the rounds he was was due to Lomas inactivity.

        That jab you're talking about disappeared real quick down the line.

        Rounds 8-11 Loma was landing at will is a testament to this fact. Didnt you see Lopez legit punch Loma in the **** to stop the assault? Lol.

          His boxing skills, sharpness and IQ were much better than Loma anticipated.

          There was an interview with Loma saying he saw everything he needed to in the first round of Lopez v Commey. Even before the fight I felt that was a very bad mindset.

          That arrogance and the fact he bought into the hype he’s some real boxing genius made him forget that he isn’t the only very good fighter in the ring.

              That’s nonsense, he might have expected to do good work late in the fight but nobody‘s game plan is to go 7 rounds behind after 7 lol.

              He simply ran into a guy that was able to control a distance better than anybody he ever faced and the sharpness, accuracy and power to make him second-guess himself.

              This is high level boxing, you don’t just get to use angles and throw punches you want without high level work coming back at you. Loma realised that early in the fight and was a bit lost.

              In round 12, Lopez started ****ing him up when Loma tried to put it on him. That’s what would’ve happened early in the fight if he tried to do that, and that’s why he fought so negatively.

                Faster IMO. I mean I don't know who would run a mile faster, but Teo's ability to effortlessly let go off quick, powerful shots is very impressive. Lomachenko doesn't have that kind of natural ability.

                  They were trying to have Teofimo punch himself out and almost knocked him out in the 11th because of that fact?

                  They were smart enough to not force dangerous exchanges with a bigger puncher early?

                  These are all tried and true tactics but if you wanna be a fanboy thats okay. Cong****.

                  Anatoly was even quoted mid rounds telling Lomachenko to be patient. Was 8-11 patient? They had a plan. It wasn't a good one.

                  If Loma was so confused he wouldn't have won the rounds he did in the dominant fashion he did. Did Lopez win any rounds as clean as Lomachenkos worse round he won? Nope.

                  Lopez won rounds by landing a few shots here and there during them. Lomachenko won by landing full blown combinations.

                  But man again. If you wanna be a fanboy go ahead. Let's pretend that that 119-110 score card was legit and call it a day.

                    I’m not a fan boy haha I was pretty much a neutral but the fact is Lopez made Loma gun shy earlier.

                    Even if your plan is to come on strong later, you don’t go 7 rounds in a hole and you try to chip away early

                    He got outboxed in the first 7 rounds, then he made some adjustments and had some success. Lopez also adjusted to Loma towards the end and started hurting Loma in round 12

                    Loma got outboxed and outsmarted in the majority of the fight, it is what it is. It’s high level boxing, you run into guys that can dictate what they wanna do too and not have it all your own way. Happens to most fighters.
