Solid performance from Lomachenko. As I told a friend before the fight began, Pedraza will lose, but he’s not a pushover. I was more right than I knew. Vasil doesn’t have the power I’d like to see at this weight. As a fan of his, it’s a little concerning, to be honest. Jose is a tough kid, taking all kinds of punishment and eluding quite a bit in a barrage of punches Loma rained on him in the eleventh. But there’s no way that fight should’ve gone the distance, not with all the punches Lomachenko scored in the penultimate round. I think the stat was something like 45 power punches landed by Vasil in the eleventh.

Wasn't really close in the end
It was competitive and Pedraza come with a very specific gameplan to stick to and he did that very well but ultimately one game plan isn't going to be enough against Loma over 12 rounds, and that's what showed.
It was a pretty good fight though. Say what you want but not many people would go into a unification straight off a shoulder operation, look at Hurd versus a journeyman last week.
Loma didn't look as dominant as usual. What i think it showed is if you come with a very good specific gameplan and can execute it well, you can make it competitive but i think you need a bit more than that over the course of a full fight.

No, he didn't look terrible at all. Lomachenko is always going to look good as he is a supreme talent. But Pedraza was doing well himself for much of the fight until the later rounds. Lomachenko just doesn't have the size or pop to dominate 135 as he did 126 or 130.

People are overreacting. He didn't look near his best yet pedraza only connected on 11% of his shots. He didn't use his movements at all to what we're accustomed to seeing or threw punches with any mustard on it at all.
Great night of boxing though. All three fights was good. The dogboe fight was entertaining the best of them 3 and Loma probably had the worst fight of the night even though I enjoyed it.
