Lomachenko Lopez..round 2

Loma lost man let it go. All this crying and excuse making won't change that. Hopefully he can learn from it and come back and avenge the loss.

 

Round 2 was a close rnd and can be argued it went to Loma. Regardless he lost the fight. Even if he got rnd 2. The only crazzy score that could go to Loma was a draw but that would have been a robbery to Lopez.

 

lopez was punching arms and elbows and bradley was like mmmm mmm mmmm

 

lol

 

You don't score rounds based on a handicap. This is another one of your novel scoring criteria that you need to abandon if you want to be taken seriously as a scorer. I disagree with people all the time, but you keep introducing variables that have no boxing precedent and frankly are illogical.

If you prefer Loma that round because you like his crisp shots better, then okay. Watching it live I had it asterisked. But Loma did zilch for two minutes while his opponent stalked him, and taking the action out of the fight is a big negative for me in scoring. Presumption goes against the guy being negative, and Loma failed to overcome the presumption. He got outworked, hit with a few shots (neither was very effective, as mentioned) and spent most of the round on his bike. On rewatch, I think it's a clearer round for Lopez now than I did at the time.

None of this ultimately matters. It will not be remembered as a controversial bout. But you suffer from some fundamental deficiencies as a scorer that you need to get cleaned up.

 

Loma clearly won round 2 IMO

 

The dude literally laid out exactly why Lomachenko won the round... complete w/ video. Also, please address my MLB example.

 

There are varying degrees of injury. Some pitchers pitch with pain and discomfort for many games before they get surgery some only require rest. Justin Verlander did that this year for my astros before needing Tommy john surgery. Boxers are no different it varries. They give these pitchers treatment and pain medication so they can continue. With that said no excuses.

 

My point remains, you can't say that Pac raising both arms is a confirmation of a non-injury.

 

I gave it to Lopez. I agree neither guy really did anything that round but Loma backed up way too much. You can lose the round on ring generalship and thats what happened. Loma also threw far fewer punches as well. It would be different if his punch output was around the same as Lopez.

 

You proved that if this was the Olympics, Loma would have outscored Lopez in this round. In prizefighting imperfect punches should not be entirely discounted in a round with relatively few clean and hard punches.

Defense accomplished by moving completely out of range is not really scoring defense in my subjective judgment. Defense that wins rounds leaves you at least able to immediately counter. Loma is a master of that, I have no idea where it went for 6 rounds.

In the end though, in a round without much accomplished, it goes to the aggressor. Punch stats are interesting but don't determine the winner on their own.

By the way I think Loma thought he won this round which is why there wasn't much urgency until too late (on my 7-5 score card, the ring walk was already too late for him to win on Lederman's card).

 

Bye Boon, see you soon.
