    you're too biased. they were on the inside, loma didn't jump in with his head. you sound like you never saw an inside fight. And he wasn't wobbly that's just you believing the commentary.
    He was doing it all night. Lopez was complaining about butts earlier. He still got his azz beat. Doesn’t matter.

      Idk what Lopez complained about "earlier." Fighters often detail circumstances that they can point to. I'm sure Loma talked about headbutts and low blows. They all talk about things pre-fight.

      There was the early replay where Bradley ironically said, "wow" and Tessitore started saying the fight can get dirty. They both crossed arms and bumped into each other. Round 7? And then that cut in the 12th. Listen the cut sucks, but it was so far from intentional, it was a matter of positioning and I'm not even accounting for their stances which comes with its own head clashes.

      The kind of body shots Lopez was landing, that right hand never really landed clean on Loma's face but the body was hurting, best way to get away is to dance away not step inside for potentially more.

        That 12th round put 2 years on Loma's body alone. 47 power punches landed by a bigger stronger fighter is just brutal.

        I'm really a fan of Loma, I think he should go back to 130 because a couple more fights like that one and his career will start to slip quickly.

          you aint lying. I was down for a rematch, but after watching the fight again I'm less keen on it (but not totally opposed to it). I think part of my interest is that it's Loma and I'm curious about his adjustments. Perhaps with a less proven fighter and I'd just say, 'on to the next, just too small for Teo, etc.'

          I like that Loma didn't complain and simply said, (translated) "l'll need to rewatch the fight." I wonder if he asks for the rematch like he did with Salido, a couple months later, or he just thinks better of it.

            The money is in a rematch with Loma, with fans the purses would be well into 7 figures and maybe a 8 figure total purse. Lopez wouldn't earn that against anybody but Davis if a PPV was built up right.

              Well fight Davis then! I just believe the WBC messed things up with Haney, so beating Haney solves the question of "Who is best @ 135?" Haney didn't help himself by fighting Gamboa! GRJ would've been much better!

From here til retirement, Loma will have a much harder time in the ring. Lopez has a great positive straight ahead attitude, and I definitely look forward to seeing him in the ring more and more.

                      How would you feel about Lomachenko vs. Stevenson @ 130?
                      Either of those 2 fights would be great. Now if the higher-ups can just put 'em together.
