If Loma ain't nothin than why does Teo get credit for beating him?

[Dark night 24]

Teo deserves all the credit in the world! I picked loma by UD and Lopez outboxed what many considered the best fighter in the world. Props to Lopez he’s the real deal.

Most definitely. Some of that Tim Bradley psychology rubbed off on Teo: Q" did you ever tell your dad thanks? A" yeah I tell him all the time" Bradley: you go out there and show him you're thankful by winning this fight because HE is the one that got you ready for this point." Nuff said.

They arent the same size.

One started at 126lbs. The other has difficulty making 135lbs.

Loma has a weird narrow shoulder.

Yes I certainly agree, it was very noticeable. And I noticed his narrow shoulder span when he began, but didn't think anything of it until he started moving up in divisions. Then it became very easy to compare.

Look at the size of their feet, big difference!

That's an indication of larger bones all round. Lomachenko is almost delicately built in comparison, although well muscled around biceps, the chest, with plenty of depth. He actually tapers downwards.

I know for a fact, that medically, men can continue to grow until about age 25. Between my oen age 21 and 25, I grew about 2.5 inches, easily noticed by the fit of my clothes and asked our dr. about it. That's what he told me. And I've seen it in others.

By comparison, many girls stop growing in height around age 14-15, although of course, not figure or body wise.
