Look, fair enough, I’m nobody to question a fighter’s heart, but how would you describe his performance on the night? Most fans, biased or not, observed a man who was afraid to engage with someone he thought was more powerful than him. He was cautious and reluctant to step up and just fight Lopez. Especially measuring him against the standard of a potential all-time great fighter he simply did not fight with courage. He did not want to test his greatness at the moment when he most had to, and now he’s going to regret it for the rest of his life. Sorry to say, but his heart definitely will be questioned when people evaluate his career. He will, of course, always be regarded as an enormous talent in the sport, a boxing genius; just not as a great fighter. I say all of this as a fan who really, really wanted him to be Lopez bad.
Lomachenko is mad at CompuBox

He said in his interview that when he threw his first combo in round2 at the end of the round it started to give him pain.Look, fair enough, I’m nobody to question a fighter’s heart, but how would you describe his performance on the night?

So it took up to the 5th for the shoulder to warm up.
He started too late not because of heart.Comment

My biggest problem with Compubox is they don't correct their mistakes. The major sports stat compilers all correct stats after the fact if necessary.
Beyond that they aren't even trying to judge a fight they are just saying what happened. Conclusions based off of their stats are the person making the conclusion not Compubox's. Yet mfers always blaming Compubox for it. The worst culprit of misunderstanding Compubox numbers are usually announcers themselves who for some reason feel that overall numbers can say anything about the outcome when fights are judged round by round.Comment

Try being smart. Which is why he went the distance and won close in my opinion and got the better of the youngster almost the entire 2nd half of the fight. Like I said before, Teo is the goods. Bar none. But people act like he won some blowout or something because Loma was cautious. Yes, he gave away rounds and i obv don't think that was a good idea, but he certainly wasn't outclassed. That's nonsense. And he damn sure doesn't lack heart.Last edited by Boxing Goat; 12-27-2020, 03:35 AM.Comment

Smart?? Omg ��, Loma’s own wife and kids think his strategy was dumb as fck. Lomachenko had the skills to beat Lopez, but not the nerve for most of the fight. It seems like you’re having as hard a time coming to grips with this fact as Loma is. At least Loma can be content that he won in your opinion.Afraid......pffffffffff!
