    Do any of you guys believe that he really means it and is he correct on that? I’m sure he’s saying that to further dismiss Loma as a fighter and make himself feel even more superior. But by calling him “basic” he’s pretty much discrediting his biggest win..

    No one is going to be impressed by Loma doing nothing for the first 7 rounds.

    His lack of humility is going to come back to bite him in the ass in a big way. His ego is out of this world, and ESPN and Arum aren't doing him any favors, when he takes an L finally, it's going to devastate him twice as bad, and mentally wreck him. Because he's completely oblivious to reality, he really thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. He has no idea just how repellent his behavior is to most rational normal people, who don't find it cute. Because unlike a few other arrogant fighters like Fury or Saunders, he doesn't even have the cheeky tongue in cheek thing going for him, it's just pure unbridled repulsive toxicity, he's the walking definiton of a malignant to the point of being cancerous narcissist.

    What can he say? Loma didn't do squad for half of the fight.

    I rate his in ring ability and skills but his attitude is still awful, I agree. Must say I don't like Loma's response either though, reacting like a lil diva himself. They're both divas really.
    I'd rather a guy like Inoue be a top p4per. Guys who are all business are my favourite.

    Embarrassing the lot of you.. And Lopez.. Loma won the fight with cleaner punches he won at least 2 of the first 6 rounds, the commentators had hard ons for punches Lopez did not actually land. Ridiculous forum, none of you can score fights

    After the way Loma fought, Lopez has a right to gloat and rub salt in his wounds.

    Well Lopez sure didn't look too great when he was the one on the wrong end of the physical disadvantages against Nakatani. Frankly he looked scared of the imposing Japanese fisherman who took him down to the wire and the fact that his ugly Gonzo the muppet/Honduran pimp looking weight bully ass felt no shame in uttering the infamous ''No more tall fighters anymore'' line immediately afterwards wasn't only very revealing giving us a brief glimpse into the inner workings of his bully psyche it was also something not remotely becoming of any self-respecting professional prize fighter. I still can't believe he actually said that. My guess is he'd still be sharing a bed with his old man to this day if he didn't hook up with that gold digger.
