Comments Thread For: Pedraza Shakes Head at Scores, Felt Lomachenko Beat Lopez

[Liondw]

Loma made the fight closer in the second half of the fight but definitely a clear victory for Lopez. Pound for pound he's high up, although now probably Canelo gets the top spot.

Oh, Pedraza. You clearly DKSAB.

Lopez got a shutout against Loma. Weren't you watching?

It looked like Loma was landing something - but since they were jabs, NSB doesn't count them, so he landed nothing and it was a blowout win for Lopez.

Lomachenko's strategy was faulty. OK to size up opponent for first 3 rounds, but not first 6. He gifted so many early rounds to Lopez that you have to say the win was the right result.

Purely and simply, he needed a higher punch output. And that's on Loma's head. Architect of his own downfall.

So I cannot argue with Lopez winning. Nothing I subsequently write overrides that.

Most of the rounds Lopez won were effectively gifted to him. He rarely hit Loma cleanly before the 12th. The rounds he won were mostlly given to him for advancing and hitting Loma's arms. Take the second round, for example, which Andrew Ward scored for Loma, but the judges clearly all gave to Lopez. Both fighters didn't hit each other much. Lopez got a couple of body shots from range at full stretch. Loma hardly threw anything, but he did time Lopez a couple of times and got in some nice clean shots to the head. I don't say either Ward or the judges are wrong -- just a hard round to score.

When it came to the rounds where we actually saw some real fighting, I thought Loma came off the best, with the exception of the 12th. There were a few times in the 10th or 11th (I forget which) that Lopez was having to clinch and hold Loma's gloves because he was getting caight with his gloves down and getting turned and couldn't see what was coming. He also weighed in with a big low blow around this point of the fight. Other side of the coin, Loma's was a bit ****** with his head on a couple of occasions.

Good 12th round for Lopez, which I feel should have swung it in his favour. As it was, the judges had him way ahead by that point.

Judges scored it too wide in favour of Lopez, in my opinion (all of them, but Julie Lederman's was especially egregious), but the result was fair.

I would be inetrested in seeing a rematch, though I doubt it will happen.

Finally someone wrote unbiased opinion thank you

lopez did not win that fight

Sure he did. Give the kid some credit. I was going for Loma but he did next to nothing offense wise for the first six rounds. The only round he was in was the second out of the first six but I still gave Lopez that round. Loma came back admirably in the second half, winning 7-11 on my scorecard but seeing as Lopez clearly won the 12th round, it's easy to see how they gave the fight to Lopez. Yes the scoring was totally absurb with Letterman having a totally bogus scorecard as usual. She is a garbage judge and should not be judging a fight of this magnitude until she can prove she knows what she's watching. It was a 7-5 kind of fight. At best for Loma it could've been a draw if you gave him the second but that's it. No way was it a robbery. Lopez won fair and square. All these bandwagon jumpers calling Loma a hypejob and a bum are totally out to lunch though. Yeah, a 3 weight world champion who fought for a world title in his 2nd and 3rd pro bouts is a bum. He was taking on a bigger, younger, stronger fighter and still performed admirably, going the distance in a close fight and not even getting dropped when Lopez and his fans thought he would obliterate Loma in 6 rounds. You have to give Loma credit for that but to say no way Lopez won that fight is foolish.

Lopez: 1-5, 12
Loma: 7-11
Debatable: 6 (I edged it to Teo)

Lopez by UD 7-5

Big Loma fan but this was tough to watch. I hope he puts on a few more good fights before he goes.

[paulf]

Off on some Paulie Malginaggi shit, I see.

[Ray*]

Still don’t get those that thought Loma won, show me your cards. At first viewing I have it at 7-5 for Lopez, at second viewing I had it at 8-4 for Lopez, two rounds stuck in my mind as a swing around (2 and 8), at first I gave both to Loma because I had my Loma glasses on, after watching it again I score it 1-1.

Props to you being honest about very few Loma fanboys can admit it
