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

Lomachenko probably came into the fight cautious after seeing what Lopez did to Commey, who he picked to win. It took him awhile to figure it out because Lopez kept the jab in his face, attacked the body, and had an answer for anything he tried. In the 8th, Lomachenko opened up because he got use to the power and Lopez abandoned the body attack. Lopez started going back to the body towards the end of the 11th and kept it up in the last round. Lopez came in confident and prepared. He’ll be even more confident and better prepared if they fight again. I was very impressed by Lopez and he deserved to win.

Was this a bad night for boxing, in regards to bringing in new fans? Nothing to do with winners and losers but looking at how things played out in regards to what we expected for the major storylines, and if you were a casual or new fan this comes off as a major disappointment

1- Lomachenko: What we were sold- A master artist in the ring who would wow us with movement and angles. What we got- An older fighter who spent the first half of the fight doing nothing and not allowing there to be much action.

2- Lopez: What we were sold- A young knockout artist who would have to go for the KO. What we got- A lankier fighter who used his reach to win from the outside (may not have been his fault, but still what we got).

3- Berlanga: What we were sold- 14-0 with all first round KOs. What we got- the ref stopping the fight without the opponent hitting the deck or taking more than a few punches (once again probably a smart stop, but just saying what happened).

Mix in the ridiculous scorecard (which plagues boxing) and the all over the place announcing, and its as if boxing can't get out of its own way on its biggest stage.

Only if you believed all that.

Yesterday was a great night for boxing though.

You have too many posts at 539. Take a long break. We got this boxing thing. Don’t worry yourself.

Why, whats wrong with my questions? I enjoyed the fights, but if you were a casual who was turning in for what was being sold then you couldve been let down. And thus boxing loses on possible fans.

No need to be snarky, we can just hold adult conversations- hopefully

Keep it boxing related or I'll just get quicker with the ban trigger finger.

You want to make me work harder to clean up the off topic race bait, I'll make posters pay for it.

I gave Loma round 2 I had the fight on mute

You were too generous bro.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Doesn't surprise me. Loma hasn't looked good at lightweight. Campbell was causing him problems. Should go back down a division.

On the other hand this Lopez guy has only had 16 fights and is about 12 years old. Loma should have done a lot better.

What the phuck fight were you watching? Please stop watching and evaluating fights. You embarrass yourself.

At least i dont have teofimo's dick down my throat.
lay off the pipe "fanatic"

You were too generous bro.

Lopez was still tagging him up that rd a lot more.

I feel so vindicated in predicting this on here when Teo beat Commey so impressively,I was ridiculed for having the audacity to say

"Teo will be Lomas 1st truly elite worthy rival test that if he wins will immortalize him as having finally lived up to the extreme hype,If he wins I will forever consider Loma the truth & admit to being ****** for doubting him"

but I was flamed incessantly for it,& was told Teo is a bum who will get kod & who is actually duckin loma.

I have repeatedly been called a racist for yrs on this site because I truly am among the few who can care less about race & am willing to criticize the darlings of the boxing world.

For ages we've had to listen to the annoying sensitive Loma fanatics that are like Bernie bros in there intolerance for dissent. You were wrong fellas, hopefully this teaches you some humility like Wilders die hards.

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.

The ****** racist exposes himself....
