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

[Phill lynott]

It was a bad loss for Loma and a worse win for Lopez. He was gifted that and did not deserve. It was and still is a ugly fight and dissapointing result. Nothing more.

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

I didn't know that Wilder is from Eatern Europe. Thanks for the info.

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

Because they are catered too by the likes of Arum and co and spoiled rotten.

By the way, Tank hits harder than Lopez....

Lomachenko was not scared of Lopez. The back half of the fight and his concession of taking a little less money to make it happen in a pandemic show that.

He did, however, fight one of the dumbest, most overconfident, unrealistic gameplans against a hungry young lion who was busier and fighting with urgency. Then, he acted like a spoiled child. I did not have it close. Lopez just actually fought to win from the opening bell and Lomachenko fought like he had already won the first 5 rounds during the introductions. That is on him.

Agreed, I think even if Loma fought 4 of those 7 rounds that he gave away early, the fight result would be different. Sometimes, a late fight strategy works for some fighters and sometimes a guy has to fight 12 out of 12 rounds to win a fight. This was one of those times. His trainer should have told him to start fighting from round 1. Now Loma wants to bellyache about this and about that. He is full of excuses.

This is an odd fight to talk about. On one hand, Lopez who had a big size advantage over Loma didn't put much damage at all on Loma. With that regard, Teo shouldn't talk much either.

On the other hand, Loma who looked great in the second half of the fight, doesn't have much of a case to be made for winning the fight when he did jack ***** the first half. Probably had difficulty with the size and power adjustment. I think he almost sold out the second half and really went at Lopez but when he did that, he looked great. Just waited too long to do that.

Neither guy can really say it was a great performance. I think a rematch is warranted but it will be the same result if Loma doesn't start faster. I think Lopez fans, I being one though, shouldn't talk much about how great of a win it was because it wasn't pretty at all. He got the W on his record and that's as impressive as it is.

If loma feels was robbed demand rematch from rematch clause fight in saudi arabia for more $ different judges it was close yet teflo won barely yet enough n knowing entering prime teflo should better in rematch. I fare loma chances n favor loma still over tank. Yet against teflo haney n possible garcia cause equally as quick yet way rangier idk if wanna put major money on loma for those 3 maybe put 100 on loma n 200 on those 3 while vs davis im putting all 300 on loma if made soon yet we know mayweather going let loma age n slow before letting davis fight em so 2 more yrs unless the teflo loss had mental affect yet it was close so i see loma bouncing back. It wont like loma was wilder with lil ability who got murdered in the ring thats hard to come back from

For the comments stating tank hits harder then teo 💀
Teo would of smashed Gamboa in 5 and you could never make teo v leo🙄
Loma over tank. I’ll bet the house as wilder says “TIL THIS DAY!”

[PredatorStyle]

It's not a good look for Loma. I'm disappointed by it. It would have been better to just show humility and accept he didn't do enough. And to complain that he deserved a draw is just pointless. he should know boxing doesn't work like that, lol.

He doesn't argue he won the fight, as some seem to be saying; he says he won six rounds if you scored it properly, which I agree with.

[champion4ever]

Loma started his rally too late. He gave away too many of those early rounds.

I mean after seven rounds on my unofficial card; I had him trailing 70-63. Which meant that he was going to need a knockout in order to win the fight. The 117-111 and 116-112 scores were good scores. I personally scored it the former at 117-111.

I thought Vasiliy fought back to close the gap some but it just wasn't enough. He never hurt Lopez or dominated him in those last five rounds. I thought Teofimo hurt him and gave him as good as he got in those five last rounds.

I only had Loma winning 3 out of those last 5 rounds.
