Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Shocks Lomachenko in Style, Wins Decision To Unify 135

[ShoulderRoll]

I noticed that everyone who got drunk saw Loma win, I had myself a cup of coffee during the fight and had the first 7 rounds for López, 8-11 Loma, and a clear 12th for López. 116-112 for the new undisputed champion!

Perfect scorecard and explanation.

That's how I had it.

[Damn Wicked]

Excellent fight. It was high stakes and there was a lot of tension in that ring. I thought it was very competitive and close. Great win for Lopez!

[richardt]

Some can say that Loma should have started early but that is a double-edged sword because he could have been caught early with a big punch from a fresher Lopez and not made it the distance. Or Loma could have tired by throwing early and be worn out late and stopped.

Fookin' hell lads! The fat Yanks have a new star! Didn't see that one coming, couldn't even watch it with a 5:30am start for work in the UK. Will try catch a replay later today.

Lol and people said he could beat pac. Lol.

[Bronx2245]

actually he did. rounds 6 through 10 were all pac. only round 9 was pretty close but pac definitely had the quality advantage in that one by a slim to medium margin. the other 4 by very big margins. that wasnt really my point though. the point was floyd fought tentatively for the whole fight like loma fought tentatively for the first 6 rounds. difference was floyd knew the cards would favor him if he just kept it close and he did keep it somewhat close but when you break it down pac got the better punches by far. the bigger difference was loma wasnt throwing anything while floyd was at least throwing but not landing cleanly so that fooled a lot of people

Floyd beat Pac! Period, end of story! Floyd schooled young Canelo! Loma lost to young Lopez! Loma is nowhere near Floyd's level, not even Pacquiao's level! That conversation is finished!

Lomachenko's offense was getting to Lopez. I don't know how anyone can dispute that. Lopez didn't fold as was expected, but getting smacked around is getting smacked around, whether you're dropped or remain on your feet.

No, I don't think Lomachenko was ever going to get a stoppage in a 12 rounder, but when he pushed his offense Lopez didn't really have an answer. If anything, his defense came undone, too.

Lopez won the early rounds because Loma threw them away. Loma won the latter rounds (outside 12) because he took them from Lopez.

Ward had it right with his 114-114. And I don't think it's horrible to score early rounds 10-10 in the feeling out process 10-10. It wouldn't be criminal at all to score the fight for Loma based on that, even if not the strongest argument.

Get some rest it was a difficult watch for me too after saying Lopez will be smoked but the last thing I’m going to do is argue Loma case. He threw away 6 rounds and got battered in the 12th. Lopez deserved the win I’m just not looking forward to hearing from his dad

Lopez impressed me bigtime. Way better than I expected. Big props.

That said, Loma still won the fight.

When he decided to get going, he hurt Teo several times and I couldn't really see a time he hurt Loma other than the borderline low blow.

Loma won rds 2, 5, 7-11 and possibly 12. If you say Lopez won 12 then I say okay, but that's still a 7-5 win for Loma.

He started way too late and it cost him but it was in his best interest. Lopez is extremely twitchy and powerful early and carried it deep into the fight.

I get that this is against the basic hater scorecards on here and I get it, its fun to see Loma fail and all, but look at this a little closer. Loma won 1 round on one of the cards! One!
That should tell you something. He had Lopez almost out on his feet in more than one round. Ffs! Not even the biggest hater on here only gave him one round!

Boxing is corrupt af

On a side note, that's exactly what we as boxing fans needed!
Bad @ss fight!

Peace out.

Loma behind GGG?... damn. You Americans like to strike when us Europeans haven’t even finished mourning. You might as well put him behind Butterbean while you are at it.
I do agree though Loma was supposed to deal with him soundly , i mean if you throw 10 punches in 6 rounds what do you expect the scorecard to read And he got smoked in that 12th round.

Who did GGG lose to? Who did Loma lose to? Loma lost to Old Azz Salido, and a kid w/ 15 fights! Hell Yeah, he's behind GGG!

You think he "possibly won 12"??
