    Everyone who did have Lopez predicted a KO thinking Loma couldnt take his punch. Loma showed a IRON chin and took all Teo had. Ironically Teo was more hurt in the fight by Loma in round 11 by Loma's 'pitty pat' punches.

    Teo is a great puncher but his power was overstated

    It's his explosion and timing that did the damage in his fights. He couldn't time and catch Loma with the shots he lined up other bigger, but slower and weaker footwork fighters

    No point in committing to power when you can outbox. History books show that time and time again. Good thing for his sake as he needed the energy late on and was able to turn the table back in the 12th after Lomachenko gassed.

    Well the way Loma fought the 1st rounds you'd have though he was in with Earnie Shavers. Loma is too good to nail with big punches from the outside and I though he never really nailed Loma with a good clean shot.

    Indeed. Most of Lopez's head shots were partially blocked. The body shots were clean, though.

    Loma felt the power early in the first which is what made him reluctant to go on the offensive. It was actually not a difficult fight for Teofimo who proved to be all round better than Loma.

    LMAO!

    The hurt from Loma groupies is sooooooo real right now. I love it..

    I've never seen such sore losers and excuse makers.

    Loma got his ass kicked, guys. Sorry he didn't live up to your expectations of being a God. Life moves on.

    If his power was overrated Loma wouldn’t have shelled up for 7 rounds waiting for him to tire. Even when he was getting nailed with hard, consistent bodyshots Loma never dropped his high guard, he definitely wasn’t trying to get his chin checked in the early rounds.

    You don't melt guys and have overrated power. You don't put a world class guy into an overly defensive shell for 18 minutes and not have power. Loma felt something he didn't like and clearly respected it. I think what Loma was more worried about and shocked by was Teo's speed and length (no homo).

    Disclaimer: I hate defending Lopez :confused:

    Clearly Loma felt the power early in the fight because he did **** all until the 8th round.

    lol Loma got his ass kicked?

    please tell me a single round Lopez kicked his ass.

    All I saw was Loma kicking Lopez’s ass when he turned up the heat

    Lopez`s body shots were hurting Loma and leaving red welts on his body.

    Loma was too scared to punch for the first 8 rounds because he was so scared of Lopez`s right hand.
