Comments Thread For: Stevenson: I'd Beat Lomachenko Worse Than Lopez Did - "I'd Win Every Round"

[ShoulderRoll]

I imagine his game plan was to keep things tight for a few rounds and pick up the pace as the fight wore on. As you say, he found it hard to let his hands go, probably because Lopez was faster, stronger, better than he expected and he probably feared running out of gas himself if he picked up the pace too early. The game plan in theory was sound, but the implementation was well off the mark. Clearly was inactive for too many rounds. Even in first two he should have tried to land a few and needed to start picking it up from third.

Leaving himself all to do in the second half was a mountain he couldn't climb.

Now that he cannot possibly underestimate Lopez in a second fight, the prospect of a rematch is more compelling. Yet no need, because there was no rematch clause, right?

I could see keeping things tight for a couple of rounds. But for half the fight?

No way. That was Teofimo's power making him afraid to throw. The judges are far down on the list of excuses compared to that, in my opinion.

If he wanted an immediate rematch he should have included that in the contract. The IBF has a mandatory that's due now, life has to go on for the champ.

I have to assume that a sense of urgency finally kicked in.

But if he deliberately didn't throw punches on purpose, as part of some plan? Very dumb. No need to be blaming judges when you do something silly like that.

Their plan from the get go was to get the less experienced fighter tired and then turn it on in the second half of the fight.

WHICH THEY DID AND WON EVERY ROUND EXCEPT THE 12TH.

Wake up.

So what're you saying? Why didn't Teo walk him down in the second half like he did in the first?

WAS HE SCARED TO COME FORWARD?

Why were Loma's gloves all over Teo's face? Why didn't he stop the constant attack from Loma?

Ffs.. you kids...

These kids are exposed. It's embarrassing.

It was probably jarring for Teofimo to suddenly go from zero action to Lomachenko actually trying to do something one urgency kicked in. Took him some rounds to adjust but once he did he had Lomachenko hurt in the 12th anyway.

Oh he did? Lmao... you ****ing clowns....

Shouldn't be difficult to look better than Tiafima. The only round he did anything in was the 12th and that was because he needed to just hoping for a draw. Ugly fight but with TR I'm getting to expect bad judging in any bout. Letterman, Cheetam and Moreti are the back pocket special! They are always f...ing up what should be and deserved. Sports are the only real thing going on nowadays. Well, not when TR and their posse of corupt judges are involved.

Calling people clowns and kids isn't really an argument, man.

You seem too emotional that people here are disagreeing with you.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Naah, Lomachenko beats him badly. Stevenson is not a big lightweight like Lopez.
