    Ward summed this up size can't be used because Loma has been at 135lb for years and has three belts

    Lomachenko also fought over 10 fights at 141lbs in the amateurs check his fights with Berinchyk

    He's fought at higher weights than Lopez, Lopez fought at lightweight in the amateurs

    As far as size they are definitely the same size maybe half a centimeter difference in height

    Some fans are giving credit some are not

    Fury pointed out that Lopez`s upperbody is huge but his legs are tiny, this is the most powerful fighter that Loma has fought, Loma may be the most powerful lightweight in the world, how many power punchers has Loma fought at 135? Is Loma`s power more effective at lighter weights, despite him stopping Linares?

    Seriously, Va-SILLY Lose-a-chenko fans take delusion, infatuation and mindless & senseless obsession to a whole new level.

    I have NEVER seen so much excuses and general pity party mumbo jumbo ever.

    Deontay Wilder fan-girls deserve an apology since Saturday.

    Kell Brook weighed more than GGG at their check weight. I take it he is the bigger man.

    Well Lopez is naturally bigger, it doesnt really take a genius to work that out but that isnt the sole reason why he lost.

    He knew this going in as did everyone else. He lost because he was too respectful of Lopez power and let the fight run away from him. When he decided to take the fight to Lopez he took control but couldnt do enough to turn the fight around.

    Props to Lopez who realised this and went out on the 12 despite losing 4-5 rounds of the trot and made sure he sealed the deal with a good final push.

    He is a smaller guy, it was apparent on fight night when you just look at how they are built.
    Besides Lopez is only in his early 20s and still filling out his frame.
