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

[PhilSpektor39]

Here comes the butthurt.

So you thinking punching the nuts is NOT against the rules!?


Lomachenko is pretty much the fix to Boxing's ills.


For decades we had fighters avoiding everyone but the absolute worst opponents. Look at the careers of Jones and Mayweather. That sold VERY WELL with a certain demographic, but most of the world was turned off to Boxing.

Finally, in Lomachenko we have a fighter who hunts down the best challenges. He could have easily drained down to 118, 122, and picked up hopelessly outmatched scalps there. But he started at 126, and still agreed to fight an opponent who purposely came in well-above the limit. He also didn't run across the ring (like Floyd did when Judah hurt him with a body shot) whenever he took bona fide low blow. Hell, he almost STOPPED the rat - something FLoyd couldn't say in his fights with Corrales, Maidana, De La Hoya, and Pacquiao. And that was what he complained about - not the fouling he suffered, but his own failure to step on the gas sooner in the fight. A true man.


The fight with Lopez was close. I don't consider it a robbery, per se: Lomachenko as the Champion should be favored in such close decisions, though that's not a rule; and two of the scorecards were clear indications of either incompetence of bribery. But at least Loma took the fight. WOuld FLoyd have taken that fight? NO!!! And you know if he was forced into it all sorts of hoops would have been put in place to trip up LOpez. Lopez looked like a monster against LOmachenko in there. And the size disparity clearly had an impact on the outcome of the fight, as much as Lomachenko's lack of urgency early in the fight.

There's nothing wrong with defending Lomachenko is what were basically throw away losses.

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!

True true......do your thing you are on a roll

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.

Hahahaha

Hype job Loma lost the first 7 rds easily and got beat up in the 12 lol

Boxing is not for you go back to nascar

[PhilSpektor39]

You think he "possibly won 12"??

12 wasnt even close.

it was competitive. Lopez made sure to disrupt the fight when Lomachenko began to smother him. I don't dispute that active referees are a fixture of modern Boxing, but Lopez should have been forced to fight it out, and penalized for wrapping up Vasiliy.

The fact that he hurt Loma put a stamp on his performance and seemed to leave Loma realizing he lost. But it was a damn close round. On my scorecared I still had it 115-114 Loma. Although I made one round a draw that I acknowledge others might not agree with.

Latinos run this sport but they make them jump through hulla hoops.

Give them there respect!!!!!!

[Bronx2245]

True true......do your thing you are on a roll

I hate to give Loma the business because he's a good fighter, and it's not his fault! I just got tired of hearing "we've never seen anything like this!" Very disrespectful to Pernell, Roy, and Floyd!

Giving Loma 2 is a stretch as he landed a few clean punches but was heavily outlanded in the round. Round 5 was clear round for Lopez as he landed more and connected on some heavy body shots. The 12th was a clear round for Lopez, not sure how its even arguable without bias.

Yeah, I get it. Finally in Lomachenko you had someone of the right skin color you could root for.

But the fact is he was never on Floyd's level and he never will be. That ridiculous fantasy ended tonight.

So stop mentioning them in the same breath.

Punching the nuts is against the rules but so are headbutts. Cry some more, butthurt boy.

[Boxing Goat]

12 wasnt even close.

I haven't seen the punch stats but watching it live, they were both landing well. That said, Lopez came back extremely well after getting abused in rounds 7-11. Loma turned it on WAY too late.

111-119 tho? Really? Boxing is rigged

[kidbazooka]

Lopez clowning bum ass Haney at the post fight
