Just disgraceful. The myth is crumbling every day, it started when that hype job Ryan Garcia brutally KOd a guy that pieced up Loma all night. If Teo ever has the balls to fight Devin Haney or Tank, those guys will make it look easy.
No matter how slow you watch it he lost the fight from lack of anything to counter Lopez's offense. Affective aggression is a factor in judging. It's not so much what Lopez did but also what Lomo didnt do.
Loma and anyone needs to realize that judges aren't slowing the fight down in their minds like some computer to analyze every single punch. Judging is subjective and not perfect. The fight I saw was Loma coming on late, but not enough to offset the early rounds that he held back in. But Julie Ledderman is as bad as her father. Maybe Loma did all he could do that night short of risking his shoulder or taking that kind of risk that can get a fighter caught coming in. It is what it is. But Loma should have had a rematch clause and also not told everyone on live TV that he was 100% healthy if he went in with an injury. Time for him to move on.
I can understand how much fighting means to Loma, it's literally his entire life...I don't disagree with his frustration as a fighter to be discredited or seeing his opponent get credit for not landing many big shots, but Loma has to take some blame; he didn't throw enough and if that was bc of his shoulder, he should've postponed the fight.
