Lopez needs to rematch Lomachenko and put away all doubt

Darius, I believe what lost lomachenko the fight was his dad and strategy. You can see in the 6th rd he kept telling Loma to be patient. The gameplan from the start should have been to take it to teo from the opening bell on the inside.If Loma fights like he did in round 8-11, he stands a good chance of getting KO'd.... But Lopez didn't impress me that much... He was able to neutralize Lomachenko's usual high punch output... But he wasn't able to land a lot on Lomachenko either. I also saw some stamina issues in the later rounds with Lopez when he was getting peppered by Loma... The question is... Can lomachenko keep up that pace from round 1 in the rematch without getting knocked out in the process?
Everytime loma got close to teo, teo couldn't do much because he needs distance to extend his shots. When loma closed the gap, he was landing. If they came out with a strategy from rd 1 to push lopez back that would have surprised and fatigued lopez. I believe loma would win with that strategy.Comment

There's nothing that he landed on loma or showed in the fight that he can stop him. If anything, loma showed he can stop teo. In the 11th rd teo was visibly hurt against the ropes. You can't even get a decent highlight of teo landing clean shots on loma.Comment

I'm surprised nobody even mentioned that Lopez was clearly hurt in the 11th rd and was holding Loma.
I bet in th rematch Loma would fight differently and risk a lot more. However they not gonna fight again as Lopez moves upComment

It's crazy. Everyone is pretending like every rd loma won is a swing rd and teo was never hurt.Comment
