I think if Loma starts early, it turns into a shootout. Loma doesn’t do that. I don’t think he has the stamina for that. Lopez being a fresh, young 20something has a lot more in the tank to do it. I believe that’s a huge reason why he didn’t do squat for the first six rounds, he was conserving his energy. Even going back to the Salido fight, he doesn’t seem like a guy willing to go to war.
For casuals who believed Loma got beaten

Scored the fight a draw and I haven’t changed my score since an I’ve watched it more than once!
Teo won the fight more off what Loma wasn’t doing and once Loma got doing what he needed to do, it was mostly Loma doing more damage!Comment

Lomachenko won rounds 1-7 and round 12. Lopez won rounds 8-11. You can see this was the case if you watch the fight in slow motion on an LG, 4k, OLED, native 120hz, 77 inch tv. You must also calibrate the tv to a “cool” temp instead of “warm”. Brightness, backlight and contrast should be 60. But brightness could be 65. Tint at 0, and sharpness 0. Reduce judder and motion blur all the way, max it out. This creates motion interpolation which is needed to see the punches landed by Lomachenko that compubox didn’t count. Turn full array on. If your tv has a “black detail” option, max that out.
Before any of you reply, please go watch the fight under these exact conditions.Comment

I watched a little over a minute of that and saw like 3 nice right hands land and plenty of good body shots. Editor couldn't even find good clips of Teo missing.
Loma is hype and got exposed when he actually fought a guy his own size. Loma is great against smaller guys, but guys his size or slightly bigger, not that good. Lotta fluff. Loma was too scared to take the chances a champion should take and let tons of rounds go.
Basically his career is over and he'll be forgotten rather quickly.Comment

In the Lopez fight the size, power, speed, counterpunching ability and defense had Loma thinking too much.Comment
