Lederman's card - she gave Lopez rounds 8, 9, and 10

I thought Loma's movement last night, for him, looked horrible. Not sure if that's the weight he was at or the ring rust, but I thought he looked bad in that department. Relatively speaking.

 

She should never judge another fight again. Clear corruption.

Loma clearly won rounds 8 to 11, then there was a few other rounds that were close that you could have gave him. Nobody could have gave Loma less than 4 rounds last night.

 

Lomas rounds were very close. Could of went either way. The announcers were brutal - telling about Lomas punches and ignoring Lopezs punches. Just check out the punch stats. Lopez overwhelming landing punches as compared to Loma.

 

Could easily say the same about lopez punches. I swear I heard tim and tes go wild over a punch that hit nothing but glove. Good thing fights aren't scored on commentary and punch stats..... oh wait..lol

 

Great post and I very much agree on Loma hurting Lopez more than the other way around. That's a big factor why I had it a draw and why I thought Loma won the 12th round (even though most don't agree) because I thought Loma was landing the cleaner, harder blows. I am very much a "front foot, who landed the harder shots" scorer rather than a volume punch scorer (although I do think the Compubox numbers in the fight were questionable).

All that being said, no robbery in the fight and I have more respect for Lopez now and I'm on board his hype train. Loma will be fine, even though he probably should move back down, IMO.

 

Lopez won, No question.

But when we see something as wrong as this it needs to be called out and it needs to be investigated. You are blind , corrupt, or bias as hell to have scored that fight 11-1 rnd. I may even except 9-3 but 11-1?

 

I gave Lopez round 9. He outlanded Lomachenko even in the rounds he lost. I guess if she had inconvenient angles from her seat at ringside then it's possible. But 10 and 11 seemed decisive enough for me in the flurries.

 

The HBO-hype-engine was in full effect from the start.

"Look how incredible he moves around and just mentally taxes Lopez with 2 landed punches in the past 5 minutes, it's fantastic! 10-8 round for Lomachenko on willpower!" -ESPN crew

They were trying hard to sell you what wasn't happening.

 

I mean this in a total boxing nerd way. Loma was exposed. Watch the fight closely. You'll notice Lopez never bit on the feints Loma was showing him. Loma is a master at feinting and getting his opponent to go defensive, then jabbing, side stepping, turning, then letting shots go from wierd angles once his opponent is out of position to counter. Loma actually uses his feints to set up his offense instead of the jab. He did this in the Rigo fight to perfection. If you notice, Lopez never went defensive when Loma feinted. Instead he waited for Loma to actually go offensive then attacked. This is why Loma's punch output was so low. That's what I think. Correct me if Im wrong.

 

What should happen is the State commission should drag them in to explain their faux pas I make sure they are capable before sitting them at ringside. BUT The problem there is that the State commissions are the leading causes of the corruption. Do you remember Farmboxer? He called Bob Bennett & asked him what he was going to do about Adelaide Byrds ludicrous 118-110 card All Bennett did was laugh & say " Adelaide is one of my best judges she just had an off night"
ROFL. If he thinks she is one of his best judges maybe he shouldnt be heading the Commission

 

I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying, but I would not say Loma got "exposed." Lopez is so much larger, with power, that you can just impose the size edge on the smaller man and make him come to you.

I do think Loma's movement was poor, for him.

The most impressive part of the whole night, for me, was Lopez' reflexes. I think that allowed him to handle and counter Loma's feints, too.

Lopez is the real deal. Loma lost but he'll be fine. Lopez is launched into stardom and good for him.

I posted somewhere else a post from I think either a boxing writer or fighter saying that Loma's gameplan was to wait for Lopez to make a mistake and tire. He did tire, but he didn't make a mistake and he stayed mostly sharp and tight. Loma's strategy failed in that regard and all credit to Lopez for that.

If they fought again, I'm sure Loma would try to start faster. But for sure Lopez had plenty to do with Loma starting slower.
