    Would Loma have fought harder if there was a win bonus?

    Instead of giving away the first 6 rounds or so do you think Loma would have tried harder to win the fight by starting to fight earlier in the fight?

      What bonus? He was well paid and he already wanted to win for pride and legacy. Maybe being in the fight and not watching it from outside he didn't realize he was losing the first 7 rounds.

        Loser of a fight always get less their next fight. Lopez will be making much more money after getting Loma on his record.

            It took him too long to figure out true smartest way to get to grips with Teo. No good sticking to a game plan if it isn't guna work for you but then it's no good just giving half the fight away before you start to make a move if your not looking to KO your opponent.

                Loma's ATG amateur record, plus the fact that he was fighting a tough young gun like Teo a division - maybe 2 divisions - above his natural weight for his minimum guaranteed fee, should answer that question for you!
