Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Lopez Won The Fight - But Those Scores Were Ridiculous!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS The right fighter won, but otherwise the judges got it wrong. That was Bob Arum's assessment of the Teofimo Lopez-Vasiliy Lomachenko fight Saturday night. The outspoken promoter condemned the officially scoring of a 12-round, 135-pound title unification bout Brooklyn's Lopez won by unanimous decision at MGM Grand Conference Center.

You guys keep employing Julie Lederman. She's as corrupt and incompetent as they come.

That was shady as hell, no way Lopez had a shut out or total domination like some are thinking it was!

Watched the fight twice and becomes more clear that the fight was a very close win for Lopez an not some
Masterclass!

I thought 119-109 was terrible because I had Loma winning rounds 8-11. That said 119-109 is 11-1. Most objective fans agreed with the 116-112 score, 8-4. That means lederman gave Lopez rounds 8, 9, and 10 in addition to 1-7 and 12.

In the rbr thread a number of posters gave some of those rounds to Lopez as well.

You are being obtuse. The fight wasn't close because the action from 8-12 was ramped up. Loma was outboxed rounds 1-7. (IMO loma was surprised by Teo's speed) From 8-11 he threw so much but was getting hit in return such that he ate a barrage of power shots in the 12th.

It wasn't a boxing lesson so much as it was a bullying session by a man who knew exactly what to expect from Loma and was prepared for it.

Teo was clearly the better fighter.

Julie had at least 1 judge in agreement w her in every round except the 10th. Judging is objective. The right guy won. We’re talking about the wrong thing here and vilifying someone when they had the right winner. If you wanna talk about ridiculous, Lomachenko was ridiculous for taking the first 6 rounds off.

The right guy won but I agree the scores were a bit ridiculous

I had the fight as a draw going into the 12 round

I had the fight as a draw going into the 12 round - Lopez won the fight by winning the 12 round.

Bob is on some Promoter BS, Loma gave up the first 7 rounds easy. He fought back in rounds 8 and 9 but Teophemo still did the better work.

He clearly won rounds 10 and 11. No Bob the cards were right. Loma only won 2-4 rounds at most. The most disgraceful card of the night was Andre Ward’s. There is no way that that fight was a 114-114 draw.

Say what you want but don’t project insults to someone who has a difference of opinion from yours, we’re all adults here I think?

Anyways, you can’t call it a schooling if someone isn’t even throwing punches or being active!

More like winning rounds due to activity, plenty times where Lopez landed on Loma’s gloves or elbows and people like you an Bradley would jump out your seat as if Teo rocked Loma to his boots!

There was plenty highlights shown for Lopez during the fight and he was missing punches and Bradley incorrectly called it as if Lopez landed lol like that uppercut Loma slipped an Bradley got excited and then he quickly changed the subject once they showed it slowed down!

Now don’t get me wrong, Lopez landed some solid 1-2’s and good bodyshots but we also can’t ignore that he was missing quite a bit as wel!

I understand a lot of people dislike Loma cuz some of his extreme fans go overboard (like any fighters extreme fans do) plus the media overhyped him but we shouldn’t ignore reality!

Loma: 2, 7, 8, 9 , 10, 11
Lopez: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12

People also need to stop insulting others for difference of opinion and going overboard with hyping the fighters they liked and just enjoy the fights!

I’m just glad we got the fight and both men returned home safe to their families!
