Was Lopez the better fighter or had the better plan?

[786]

Are you serious? He neutralized Loma. Loma was Ukrainian dancing and couldn’t get angles. Why do you think? Because Teo had the left hook waiting. Teo’s footwork was amazing as well.

The constant jab to slow the setup and rhythm of Loma. The invest into the body early. Not chasing Loma down and wasting energy. He took small steps and stayed grounded. Laser quick counters that I couldn’t even see in real time until I rewatched it this morning.

Teo also adjusted your the head rushing Loma was doing trying to get inside. He was able to push him off and turn him.

Just give the credit. You ain’t gotta like him but at 23, to be that composed, to have the physical attributes but connect it with ring IQ...give credit.

To make the decision not to go for the kill because he knew Loma was banking on him getting gassed...all of that made him a better fighter and he didn’t even follow his fathers plan 100%. He adjusted. And the p4p Loma did not.

Well said.

I think it’s both.

The game plan was excellent.

What surprised many was the speed and the ability to box and neutralize Loma’s ability to use angles.

He just was the bigger, and younger man
