    He makes a lot of good points, it looked like Loma was conditioned for dancing and Lopez was conditioned for fighting the differences where very clear, Loma has fitness but no power he always looks spindly not that pumped looking.

      it's pretty ignorant. in every sense of the word, bc wtf does Robert know about his sparring? He doesn't. Definitely sounds like Robert forgot that training style garnered Loma quite a few accomplishments and he's looked incredible at 126 and 130. His team has said in the past he spars with welterweights for 135 prep. How would we know that sparring was soft?

      Idk, am I wrong? Loma looks like he digs too deep to assume he gets soft sparring.

      And what's this mean if one of Robert's guys loses a fight?

        yup from arguably the best trainer in boxing right now so he knows what a boxer needs. Lomachenko is the A side in the gym from trainers, countrymen, and other figthers that Lomachenko is a diva and is hard to work with so I doubt they be bringing in any sparring partners that can push him.

          You do know Lomachenko trains in roberts old gym, all of Robert Buddys he grew up with etc that worked for robert when robert owned that gym are still working there now that egis owns that gym right, you dont think they talk?

          And robert knows that whatever training Loma was doing failed him in his biggest fight of his career.

          Also before Egis bought the gym off Robert, Lomachenko held a few training camps at Roberts Gym.

            It's true he's used to guys in the gym believing his myth and being all respectful

            Lopez showed what happens when a opponent doesn't respect him and that's he gets his a$$ whooped

              Loma has little power because the guy is pretty small for 135.

              He still managed to KO many fighters.

              2 gold medals champion in three divisions. Does he really have to change his training methods?

                Loma has sparred all the top guys available, Tevin Farmer, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, etc. He has sparred a who's who of everyone.

                Saying that, I have no idea who were his sparring partners for this fight. He needs to be sparring Junir Welters or Welterweights if there is a rematch.

                  He needs to know what to do when someone makes it rough and tumble.

                  Everybody at 135 and 130 who fights Loma is coming to win now. Nobody is going to **** their pants like Crolla again.

                    I know he has trained there, yes. Robert is not privy to every sparring session. He's not part of their camp, gym regardless.
