Lopez won. The fight was much closer than what the judges scores showed; however, Loma needed to do more than he did the first seven rounds. Why he started as he did, I'll never know, but those rounds sealed the fight for Lopez. Last night I only got to see rounds 1-7, and I just now finished 8-12. Going to bed having seen only 1-7, I saw a clear win for Lopez. Finishing the remaining five rounds today, I saw a close fight, and I want to see a rematch. All that being said, Duran vs Leonard I puts Loma vs Lopez on the back burner. Also, so much for the pound for pound fantasy.

Just retire Loma. That was shameful and embarrassing. Did Loma bet on the over? Wtf was that? I don't think his reputation can ever recover no matter who he beats in the future. And definitely not if he doesn't beat Lopez, GD, DH, RG, and JR and JT at 140.

Lomo confirmed with his own comments, it was too much, too late. And he clearly lost the 12th and final round. He lost this fight by not stepping on the gas earlier, plain and simple. Because judges will always see a round or 2 in there either way, throughout the course of a fight.
Just for arguments sake, say you had Lopez winning most of the 1st 6 rounds of the fight and you have him winning the 12th round. No knockdowns or overly dominate rounds where you would score it 10-8 for 1 fighter. You would have had it as follows.
1st 6 rounds: Lopez 5-1
Last 6 rounds: Lomo 4-2
Almost everyone on this forum during the fight last night and I was reading most of the comments had it 5-1 Lopez after 6. Almost everyone thought Lopez won the 12th round. That’s 6 rounds right there. Are you saying Lopez didn’t win at least 1 more round to get to 7-5 Lopez?
Even if you had it 4-2 Lopez after 6 rounds as Lomo admitted when he said Lopez won more rounds in the 1st half of the fight and then you gave Lopez the 12th round. That’s 5 rounds. Were there 1 or 2 other rounds that he could have won for the fight to be scored even 6-6 or for him to win at 7-5, from rounds 7 to 11? I think that’s the debate. Did Lopez win 2 of the rounds from rounds 7 to 11 if you had it 4-2 after 6 rounds with Lopez winning the 12th and final round.
I taped the fight last night. I’m going to watch it again with no sound on to see if Lomo got more than 1 round during the first 6 rounds and if Lopez got more than the 12 round during the last 6 championship rounds. Last night, I had no issues with Lopez winning.
Lomo: “I think in the first half of the fight, he got more rounds than I did, but in the second half of the fight, I took it over and I was that much better,” Lomachenko said.
