    Lopez got lucky with Taylor being 16 months inactive, coming off injuries, and having a lacklustre performance against Catterall. Does anyone actually truly believe Lopez would have taken this fight had this not been the case?

    Also, I’ve watched the first 8 rounds of this fight, and I’m astonished to see the usual fools acting like Lopez schooled him 10-2.

    Taylor won the first four rounds, he was landing cleaner shots. Whilst Lopez was getting an ass licking from the commentators for Taylor being off balance at times and slap hooks. Taylor arguably won 1-2 rounds from 5-7 (one of these was a clear Teo round however)

    Lopez is a reflex fighter, he’s a plodder and doesn’t have great ring IQ. M Those reflexes came in handy against an inactive guy coming off injuries.

    It’s a shame Taylor lost to this guy, he really shouldn’t have.

    Taylor got dominated. By a plodder with low ring iq. Interesting. I wonder what that says about Taylor.

    Round 10 a clear Taylor round how tf does anyone give that to Lopez.

    1,2,3,4, 10 all Taylors

    I had 1-2 rounds from rounds 5-7 for Taylor as well.

    I cannot see how anyone sees this as schooling. Taylor did well given the circumstances

    Lopez beat Taylor comfortablely.
    There was no luck

    No when this fight was talked about in circles which BTW was years back i figured Teo would be too good for him in multiple ways,

    But most others differed in opinion, when was it that Taylor ever not look inactive in his performances, even in his wins he was just scrapping on to win & looking very underwhelming in the process, you could also tell the guy was slow, very flat footed & lacked those high level skills & i didn't even watch his last fight so when there was an outrage on it being a robbery i wasn't surprised.

    Did Lopez get lucky over LOMA too?

    Here in boxing, according to some, no one ever wins anything, every result is just someone "getting lucky". :risas3:

    Yeah rd 10 was a clear Taylor rd, simply because Teo took the round off, probably conserving energy for the final 2 rounds to finish strong which he did.

    I think rd 2 was very close could of gone either way, compubox says Taylor landed one more punch, I gave it to Teo but could see it the other way it was that close.

    Rd 4 to me was Lopez's rd. Taylor did well in the first minute, Lopez did well in the 2nd minute but Lopez stole the rd right at the end when he made him stagger back onto the ropes and unloaded. Plus Taylor was wobbled earlier in the rd too.

    But even if we agree with your scorecard, Lopez put a beatdown on Taylor in the final two rounds to make it an emphatic win. Sometimes the scorecards don't always reflect the true nature of a fight, one fighter might win on a landslide but in reality it was competitive throughout and sometimes a fight might seem close on the scorecards but one is the obvious clear winner, because one man is left just holding on and trying to not get KO'ed having taken more punishment throughout the fight.

    Yep, not much to like, but the skills were there.
