    He's just distraught because he isn't the ATG he thought himself to be. He is a very good who ranks higher H2H than in resume.

    Loma lost AND the cards were ridiculous. It’s not binary. It’s both.

    How much did they have to pay Loma to hold his punches for 5 rounds?

    This yeah, looks that this judge was completely blind.
    So high superiority Lopez didn't had showed.
    7 rounds vs 5 rounds yes.

    This is a very possible and reasonable position.

    But when the cards are ridiculous and the fight was close, a fighter might be tempted to look at the cards and think "fix."

    I had Lopez up 2 rounds, 3-4 if I'm generous.

    Loma's case was never a win, only a draw.. and that's being generous.

    Can’t believe I missed the auto correct of Loma to Lima.

    The fight wasn't that close, and anything from 7-5 and 9-3 is okay. I had it 8-4 as I recall.

    Lederman's card is awful, sure, but the other two were good. You can make a better case for 9-3 than 6-6.

    Loma is delusional if he believes what he is saying. He is not just alleging incompetence but outright bribery. Like Wilder, he refuses to discuss his own role in the outcome. It's a shame.

    This is outrageous. This is the worst. I can't believe the excuses. How dare he. He's the worst ever. Fought the worst challengers ever. He's no hall of famer. I never heard someone be such a poor sport. He's delusional. I had it (fill in your own score here). Why can't he just admit (Name here) was the better fighter. That's what (fill in name here) did. I used to like him but now I know he was always garbage. He can't really even fight that good. I mean, (name former champ here) would've killed him. No contest. I don't know why he was so hyped. He was totally overhyped. His (add promoter name here) protected him. All his fanboys are the worst. They must be newbies. They must've just started following the sport. (Fill in named here) never made those kinds of excuses. Greats don't make excuses. He fought in the worst era ever. The current (fill in division name here) doesn't compare with (fill in the decade). The fighters then were so much better. I used to be a fan but now I hate him. He probably couldn't beat (fill in name here). What will his next excuse be? Probably (add excuse you just made up here).

    Hope I didn't miss anything. (LOL) Just wanted to save everyone the time.

    A judge had him winning only a single round . I definitely can understand skepticism regarding the transparency of the judging. Especially given that 3 or 4 rounds were dominant and couldn't conceivably be scored for Lopez.

    But that was one card that was overruled by the other two. Even if she'd had it for Loma, it wouldn't have mattered. Fixating on the one bad card is silly. That's why you have three judges and not one.

    Wow great take. Any thoughts on him putting his money where his mouth is and taking a loss like a man instead of crying about corruption like a little cuck after losing a competitive evenly matched fight

    That's why there are 3 judges. 2 of the cards were undeniably reasonable to any unbiased viewer

    I am not sure whats worse. Pac thinking he beat Mayweather or this. Either way making excuses is not the way to get a rematch.
