    Good win vs a very very poor Lomachenko. Was it an aberration or is he truly an elite talent? Horn beat Pacquiao and look where he ended up. (Questionable decision mind you). Maybe we should wait and see after a fight or two to see whether he's as good as we think he may be.

    It's hard to call Lopez a monster because Loma didn't do anything for 6 rounds. Granted, Lopez could very well have been half the reason with the other being a crap gameplan from Anatoly. I have to take points from Lopez because he should have gone for the kill against a significantly smaller guy who was barely punching.

    But when Loma came to life, he swept the later rounds outside of the 12th.

    Weird fight.

    Lopez is going to be the God of War until somebody mallets him. Then he'll be a fraudulent hypejob with a glass chin :deal:

    I don't think so. Guy has sick ability, and real heart.

    His speed and reflexes are incredible. I was stunned by how good his reflexes were.

    He wasn't calling him one, Dance. He was saying others will when even he loses. Boxing fans are fickle, it's like they don't know that they're destroying their own sport.

    I think maybe we are, I don't like the way he handled getting tagged by Loma who's not a massive puncher.

    Wait until he takes some stick off someone just as big and powerful and I have a feeling he will be in trouble.

    The Pacman would destroy him at his ripe old age if he were to go up to 147.

    Lopez had swollen tranny eyes from the handful of flush punches Loma hit him with. GrandPac probably issues a savage beating and takes him out.

    Pac had an off night vs Horn, as did Loma possibly. Horn went on to get hammered by Aussie level journeymen. Will there be a Michael Zarafa moment for Lopez around the corner. And does this tarnish Loma's short legacy greatly? Horn didn't tarnish Pac's - that was cemented. Loma's problem is he hasnt had enough fights to really know how good he is.

    He was never really hurt but it looked like Loma buzzed him a couple of times.

    He will get overrated now because Loma was overrated at that weight IMO.
