How did Lopez beat Loma in the early rounds?

[Nash out]

Loma foughts scared for seven rounds. 7-0 Lopez, the next four it was very competitive, I gave Loma 3-1 over the next four, but 2-2 would have been good too. R12 Lopez battered Loma and only the clash of heads and the ref helping Loma stopped him from getting knocked out 117-111, or 118-110.

By judging and controlling the distance. In 1 of the early rounds, I saw Lomachenko start to cut the distance, but back out of range, that was because he could see Lopez feint with the right uppercut, he could see the reflexes, knew Lopez could time him, felt Lopez's power early, and it didn't matter about Lomachenko's accuracy or angles, because he wasn't in range to land his own shots.

Huh? Loma fought scared when the bigger man wasn't able to cut off the ring? 7-0? The only one that got battered was Lopez, he was about to drop in that fight. He got saved by the bell.

Loma landed, Lopez didn't.

He did not control the distance. If he controlled the distance he would have cut the ring and actually landed something, but he didn't land anything.

Rewatching the fight now, it appears that of the punches that landed clean, they all came from Loma, while the majority of Lopezs' punches were either hitting air, or body shots from the very end of his motion that either hit elbow, glove, or if they landed at all, did not damage at all.

examples of these bodyshots:

I mean there is to many to list. Basically, none of them looked clean to me. When Loma did decide to engage in those rounds, he had very clear 3 punch combinations that landed clean. Lopez had zero clean shots. Under what argument do people who think Lopez won, do you guys think he won?

He scored points because Lomenchko was jumping away like he is a ballet dancer

You obviously wanted Loma to win, when you watch a fight with biased, you give give the fighter you want to win rounds which he is losing clearly. It was not a close fight. It was really boring because of how one sided it was. but Lopez was great. Loma was garbage.

"Lopez beat Loma in the early rounds" is just another narrative mericans use to protect their fighters, from the same series as "Ward did better in the 2nd half than he did in the 1st therefore he won" or "Golovkin missed 500 punches therefore Canelo won"

This is very easy bro. The full fight is on youtube. Find it, and give me a time stamp of the punches that Lopez landed clean. I'll be waiting, and I'll return to you an even cleaner punch.

I thought Lopez clearly won the first 7 rounds because Loma threw very few punches in those rounds. Lopez forced the fight and threw and landed more punches in all of those rounds. Loma finally went to work and won rounds 8 9 10 and 11. Lopez had a great round 12 and won that round. Just my opinion and how I scored that fight.

[Get em up]

Lopez beat Lomo by applying pressure but Lomo beat himself by not trying to fight first half. I think he was trying to tire Lopez out and it back fired. Good win for Lopez no matter how you scratch it up.

[Lomadeaux]

Yeah, he was aggressively boxing with the air

Doesn't matter.

Yes, it was a weird fight. You have to understand he was too inactive and that cost him the early rounds.

They had a game plan and they stuck to it. That in itself is impressive not to waver from it. It began to work in the later rounds, but due to too much inactivity early on it didn't come off like they wanted it to.

When he began to really turn it on, he needed about 4 more rounds. A 15 round fight would have been much better for Loma how it ended up playing out. But even then... Look how horrible the scoring was.

Hopefully there will be a rematch.
