    I had it for Lopez.

    There were a couple of close rnds where activity vs quality punch can be argued.

    The second round I gave to Loma. the seventh I gave to Lopez. As well as all other of the first 7 rounds accept the 2nd. But then 8 thru 11 was loma so on my card Lopez won this fight in the 12th round.
    I would love to see it again if Loma is willing to stay at 35 and Lopez can still make the weight ok. I would love to see how they approach the rematch differently

    7-5 is what I had as well. For those who are crying foul and the fight was a draw. Then I say, don't cry about Kovalev Ward or 3G Canelo ever again. If you can see a draw in this fight, then it's not outside the realm of possibility that Ward Kovalev 1 was a draw and Canelo's fights with Canelo were legit.

    I don´t see how it was clear at all. He clearly deserved the nod, but was he the better man?
    Loma did barely anything in the first 6 rounds.

    That was incredibly impressive, we have a new top pound for pounder for a good while.

    It would have been better for Lomachenko to have been knocked out. Getting outboxed like that and shutout for 6 or 7 rounds has destroyed the mystic around Lomachenko as some super technical boxer.

    For anyone claiming Mayweather fought bigger opponents so what's the issue, he didn't face anyone where he looked like he had the wingspan of a child in comparison. Loma is way too small for a modern LW division where guys are regularly 5'8+. Yes, he can win, but when he faces guys with enough skill and power, he's at a massive disadvantage because of his dimensions. This is not about Loma being exposed, it's about fighting out of your division. Put Lopez against a top welter and you'd get the idea. The clue is that Loma has been getting hit far more at the higher divisions even though they're slightly slower opponents. Clearly they can touch him when he can't touch them and cannot be easily bullied with an inside style due to their size. Pac only gets away with it because of his whirlwind style and possibly PEDs, but a technical boxer style doesn't translate well to higher divisions unless you have the reach.

    Davis has the better chance of winning by KO. Look how often Lopez was tagged stiff in that second half, at times his head was just static. Tank Davis gazelle hook KOs Lopez.

    Haney vs Teo is a proper fight.

    I don't know who gives Loma advice, but he's already a dwarf at 135, he shouldn't fight guys who should be fighting at 147.

    Loma vs Davis would a good fight for him. Not Lopez, not Haney, not guys who look like a high school senior next a 13 year old.

    There's being slow outta the blocks but Lomo came out at a jog, after rounds 5-6 it was always going to be an up hill sprint for him , Lopez deserved the win , well done young man .

    Come on, you're better than that. Losing 7-5 isn't getting whooped. He utilized the same strategy as Mikey Garcia but unlike Mikey... won more than one round and wasn't in survival mode for the last 6 rounds, he actually won most of them. But the reality is... Lopez would have won by hook or by crook, Top Rank has a new start to push.

    Lopez is the one who said Haney, he didn't say Tank.

    It was actually a bit of decent fight but I feel a bit underwhelmed.

    Think Loma started too slow and Teo went to sleep for 5 rounds.

    6-6 was my score but feeling dissatisfied.

    Would favour Loma in rematch probably, just think he started finding a way to win near the end.

    Tank probably KOs both
