Lomachenko had a bad shoulder injury, didn’t press in the 1st half because of it

Where have I heard that excuse before? I like the old days when losing fighters just accepted their loss.

 

So as long as the excuses arr coming out of the mouth of someone you like they are true and met with zero skepticism or do you accept excuses equally from every loser ?

 

If this is the case, Lomachenko shouldn't have fought. His path to redemption is to make whatever concessions are necessary to make the rematch attractive to Lopez. I don't say his facetiously. It wouldn't surprise me to see Loma take back his belts. Then we get the rubber match. At that point, I gotta' think both guys would be making some serious jing. What's not to like?

 

I'm getting sick of Lomasexuals tossing out an amateur record that cannot be verified.

 

When was that? I have always remembered it being common when fighters had excuses for losing.

I understand it since so much is based on confidence, but Loma's a whole different story. There's a big difference between "i wasn't feeling well that night" or "I thought I won it" and "the judges were paid off".

 

Loma was worried about Lopez's counters and quickness early doors

he was trying to draw offence from him

Lopez did not bite. A very wise 23 year old fighter.

Exclusively the jab to the head and body. Didn't show his hand to Lopez.

Loma has had shoulder issues for almost years. You can't then use it as an excuse when you lose a fight then get surgery you should have got 12 months prior.

He is shotworn, it's fast spiral downwards if he wants to push himself more.

Loma is a great fighter and a confident fighter...but he also looks down on opponents like he is on a pedestal that is so much higher which isn't true. Only Fury sits on a pedestal that is higher.

 

It does make sense.. it makes sense that Loma made a bad choice.

I repeat, Loma made a choice. A choice to fight at less than 100% in an arena that has no forgiveness for hesitation or weakness.

No one should excuse his loss as anything other than his choice.

 

Good post. Your right it was unusual and considering every other performance before that was different tactically, you have to agree there was a reason. Sad thing is, he’s to old to get back that form now even if they can patch up his shoulder. The matrix has come to an end, he can’t perform like he use to firstly down to his shoulder then all the miles are catching up

 

There were plenty of fights where one boxer just said his opponent was the better man that night. Also, I don’t consider “I thought I had won it” an excuse. This idea of going into a fight with a preexisting injury and using that injury as an excuse for a loss seems more common now than in the past.

 

I've also read sLomo had a surgery between R4&5, R7&8 and R10&11. He went to the judges table in disguise and overheard the supervisor say "guys we need to rob this fool, here're your two bricks of medical grade c0caine, sniff wisely. Hail Hydra!"

sLomo also tasted Fimo's pee and poo sample and his buds found traces of EPO, H2H, steroid, A-side meth, krypton and raw Klingon c0ck juice. Not only that, the Emperor of Ukraine analyzed sLomo's water bottle in the Kiev Saint Vitali Hospital and it turned out it wasn't filled with water at all, it was filled with super chilled sleep gas - they are still trying to wake up the lab guys.

It's incredible how he still won 11 rounds especially with the ref constantly pushing his hands behind his back so Fimo could sucker punch him, all the while Salido was punching his bawlls so hard they could feel it up on the International Space Station.

Actually, they also had to do a surgery just to remove all the lips and tongues of the sLomo d!ck-riding gang squad whose saliva made sLomo constantly trip during the fight, but that's kinda an internal problem just like when your rub out so hard to your superhero you remove the foreskin in the process.

 

So his shoulder injury magically disappeared in rounds 7-11 but effected him in the rounds you feel he lost. Lol. Ok.

It's 100% an excuse and an embarrassing one at that. It actually appears you are attempting to console yourself over your hero losing. His amateur background clearly means very little as hes now lost against a journeyman and a 22 year old. Sometimes fighters just don't live up to the hype and this is one of those times.

 

Too late. Should have postponed fight. Excuses are bollocks

 

Maybe it's a little bit more common, but we may just hear about it more now. You'll always have fighters that are graceful in defeat and others who make a ton of excuses. George Foreman was still making excuses for Zaire 30+ years later, same with Dwight Qawi against Michael Spinks, Roberto Duran for every loss, etc...

Wilder and Lomachenko just crossed a whole different level with their excuses. It's like, Loma, did anyone bribe you to barely throw any punches for the first half of the fight? And Wilder looks like he just lost his mind. So desperate and delusional.
