Comments Thread For: Lopez: Lomachenko's Statements Just Show What Kind Of Person He Really Is

[Bronx2245]

He never wanted to give Lopez a shot, and he never would have given Lopez a rematch, if the shoe were on the other foot! F--k Loma!

I'd have more respect for Loma if he said he froze for the first 7 rounds. He lost all of those rounds. He started fighting from round 8 and had the better of it from 8-11.

The thing is though, what happened in round 12, showed that if Loma fought like that all the way through, he'd likely have been KO'd.

In being more aggressive, he was more open and Lopez almost had him out in that final round. I haven't rewatched it, but I remember the referee protecting Loma at some stage when he was about to go.

I get his complaints about the Salido fight where the referee was terrible, but he has no arguments here. He did not perform. Maybe that was down to the tools Lopez has. Just like Fury nullified Wlad, as Canelo does often to his opponents.

I'd like Loma vs Tank next. If he wins that, the Lopez rematch will come. I wouldn't be too up for that rematch until I see Loma perform near his best again.

It was a close fight but Lopez won. Would Haney or Davis beat Loma? I'm not totally sure, but those would be good fights, besides of course them against Lopez.

Haney wouldn’t beat Loma because he has no pop Loma had to be careful with Lopez due to his power and reach Loma will out box Davis due to his size and not having a reach advantage

Lederman’s card was ridiculous. She’s the same judge who scored the fight in favor of Harrison when he fought Charlo in their first encounter. She’s nowhere near as good as her father was. I think 115-133 Lopez is the most reasonable scorecard. It was a very close fight, but Lopez did more to earn that victory.

Very disappointed to see Loma talking the way he is. It was a close fight and the cards were a little wide but he lost. I was disappointed to hear he thought he won, he really didn't.

The person he should be mad at here is himself for the amount of effort he put in to the 1st half of the fight. Considering he was very much in the fight in the 2nd half of it he gave up way too much to Teo in the 1st half.

I'm up for a rematch, it was a close fight, it was a good fight, but being a bit more humble in defeat goes a long way. He is nowhere near Deontay Wilder levels of ridiculous but its far from a good look.

Take it like a man and get do what ever it takes to get yourself back into a good position. Moaning and excuse making is not going to do you any favours.

Was never a fan. Obviously he has talent but this talk of him being P4P was always booty chatter. He was never #1, immense talent and skill but his best days are behind him. He’s leaking oil, if he fights on someone’s going to stop him at this higher weight class.

Wasn't a close fight at all.

On 1st watch I scored it 11-1,then on rewatching I realized Loma arguably won 3 rds,4 is being very generous. But as others have said Loma is ****** for fighting with such a lame gameplan & waiting til 2nd half of the fight to halfway do something.

[TernceBudCharlo]

Why are a lot of these eastern euro fighters such awful losers?

[Get em up]

Who advises Lomachenko to have such a very low IQ strategy?

If Loma fights 12 full rounds this might have a different outcome.
He has tremendous skill, but a very DUMB STRATEGY.

Lopez is also extremely good. If Loma will fight 12 rounds, we could have an excellent "fight of the year" second fight.

If Lomo engaged from opening bell there would be a knockout.... the question is who gets stopped if you ask me.
