Comments Thread For: Arum: I'll Explain Financial Implications Of Rematch To Lopez, Loma; Up To Them

[Doubledagger]

I think Lopez should just do it tbh he doesn’t owe Loma anything especially for the ******ity of having no rematch clause but if he really is the next big thing and has faith in himself he would shut the naysayers up and knock Loma out.

You should know by now nothing will shut up the naysayers.

Same naysayers claiming that it was a draw when it was a clear cut and non controversial win for Lopez.

Those same naysayers tried to say that Charlo vs Derevyanchenko was a draw, smh!

Haters will be haters. They are called haters for a reason.

Don't matter what you do.

Yeah, Lopez won those early rounds mainly because Lomachenko threw practically zero punches. On the other hand, Vasyl might’ve been KOed if he got aggressive early. Who knows? But I thought the fight was close; I had it a draw. I would welcome a rematch, and I think many others would also.

I wanted Loma to win but how can you call the fight a draw , that means Loma was winning the fighting into the 12th round by your accounts or did lomachenko win the 12th as well?

This looked like a clear victory for Lopez. He's clearly the bigger, stronger, better fighter at this weight class. To me, it looked like Lomachenko didn't have to confidence or the stamina to take over the fight after the slow start. He didn't do anything to deter Lopez from getting the W in the end. I don't see it being any easier now that Lopez is fully confident he can win again.

If it's true that Lomachenko fought with an injured shoulder, Lopez won't hold his titles for long.

[PETUFF]

Shoulder problems are trouble that's why he loses the fight

[Combat Talk Radio]

Its really not. He won the fight without question and looked good doing it. There was no questionable no knock down call. Just a fight where the favorite didn't perform to level that many hoped. The boxers say it was because Lopez dared him to risk getting knocked out with counters if he got aggressive. Loma fans say it was the shoulder. History will remember what that Lopez won and then contextualize it to what happens afterwards.

Oh it's definitely his Castillo moment.

Back then, everyone said it was a close fight, could have gone either way, then Floyd did the rematch because of the controversy.

Now, we've got Teo admitting that "everybody" wants a rematch - validating this also was a close fight - and his quoting Floyd may encourage him to be like Floyd and rematch a fight that has numerous undefeated fighters saying it was a draw and not a blowout.

If Teo does what I hope he does which is to step up to a rematch and actually PROVE something with a Loma that throws, how's that not the same as the Castillo situation?

Loma lost the first six rounds clearly IMO. Why doesn't matter. Hurt, afraid, too cautious, poor game plan etc. The reasons or excuses depending on who you're a fan of doesn't matter. He lost them. He lost the last round clearly. That does not make it automatically a close fight.

Except as the video showed, he didn't lose the last "clear". It was a toss up. Could have gone either way.

Regardless, many of the other boxers INCLUDING people who support Teo had the fight a draw or a VERY close win for Lopez. That many people can't be wrong. It warrants a rematch to put it all to rest.

Rematch happens if they meet Teo’s price

[Joeboxeo]

No need rematch with Lil-machenko, Lopez was dominate him. Plus Loma have nothing to put on table(Lopez at cracks the top ten P4P), no titles, no reputation, absolutely nothing! Anyway, Teofimo will be a much better fighter after this victory
