Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I Took Over in The Second Half - I Won The Fight!

[Loque-san]

Who remembers Loma showboating against Sosa and people acting like he was coming from another planet and could walk on water? Where is the matrix now?
Reduced to claiming he won a fight that everyone saw him lose clearly, because he looked decent and landed a few arm punches in three or four rounds out of twelve...

Yesterday he was facing his biggest challenge. And he was soundly defeated. He has lost the two hardest fights of his career so far in fact: Lopez and Salido. Salido is the most rugged and experienced opponent he's faced and Lopez is probably the most talented.
And both fights have something in common: he was extremely tentative, throwing very few punches and getting outworked, using a lot of movement no adjustments made and no chances taken until late in the fight when he felt his foes weren't punching as hard as earlier in the fight.

He was scared of Teofimo's power/explosiveness and he was a dear in the headlights when confronted to Salido's pressure and physicality.

NoMás-chenko indeed.

See if email was a boss in there Loma got swept in the 1st half and only won 3 rounds in the 2nd half of the fight. Teofimo finished strong with a solid 12th round for the victory, the Correct man won the fight.

I scored the fight by 4/5 rounds to Lopez.Loma did very well to keep himself out of arms way and avoiding the KO.
If Loma was more aggressive he would have got himself KO'd . Loma needs 130, if he sticks around at 135 and demands a rematch chances are he will be KO'd .Lopez is too big, fresh and good and at 23 will only get better.Who ever thought Lopez wouldn't connect on Loma were very wrong!

4/5......I feel like your emotions were involved, being a judge ain't easy.

Loma seems to be a reasonable person. After he watches a replay of the fight, I’m sure he will see that he simply didn’t do enough of anything in the first half to win a decision in this fight. The hole was simply too big to get out of. Loma was to apprehensive and wasn’t taking any risk in the first 6 rounds

No dignity in defeat. Good riddance

Seems you graded Wilder on a curve.

[Mister Wolf]

He fought scared early on and gave away too many rounds. Bad gameplan by him and his team. When you fear a puncher you play right into their hands. Their are so many examples of this. Imagine if Crawford would have got up fighting scared after getting dropped by Mean Machine or Ward choosing not to get after Kovalev after getting dropped. Douglas vs Tyson also comes to mind.

He was scared. He fought like a ***** fir rounds 1-6 after saying he wants to hurt a man talking about his family. He had all of u fooled. Deep down he feared Lopez early and you know it.

Loma looking like he was sent to look in the reactor.
