    You say you watched with no sound, was there also no picture?

    Without a crowd, we can now hear punches connecting. I don't understand why anyone would watch a fight on mute anyway.

    You can hear versions of the punches going on even with a Newcastle, Glasgow crowd.

    But you're right, there's all the more reason to watch with the volume up now.

    Loma slapped him around in the 2nd half, it wasn't even close 7-11.

    As I said earlier, a group of co workers and I watched the fight, the volume was on, but you couldn't really hear what they were saying. We didn't get together to watch the fight, it just happened to be on. I find myself disagreeing with commentary quite often. It doesn't seem to sway my opinion one way or the other. It also bugs me when folks tell you to watch it in slow motion. People toss the term robbery around far too easily also.

    During the Canelo fights, I saw a lot of people use the name 'Bum-lovkin', which is terrible also. But still funny for some reason, even though Golovkin is obviously not a bum at all....

    Even before Lopez, Loma was getting hit a lot. Linares, Pedraza, and Campbell all touched him up. He is not on the same level defensively as Mayweather.

    I made an edit of the fight and cut out all of Lopez' punches. Loma 120-108. First six were, surprisingly, still close.

    Also, don't mean to be a Moby but when we have these discussions the word "Robbed" really bothers me.

    A "robbery" is what we saw with Ritson Vs Vazquez, that was a robbery.


    If you want to say "on the end of a poor decision" OK, fine, I disagree but to suggest a robbery in this one is a little too much.

    Look, I know it's just a word, I know what you meant but "Robbery" is just too strong and I don't know what to call real robberies in the future.

    This is precisely why I always watch fights with no commentary
    I judge the fight MYSELF right or wrong

    im just stating my opinion and an opinion is a fact or false. Those no need for sarcástic remarks. Don’t let the keyboard built your confidence and make you a tough guy
