So, Lomachenko Took 5 Rounds Off A Prime KO Artist With 1 Good Shoulder. Now That's Impressive!

An excuse is still an excuse no matter who it came from. Loma's stock dropped as soon as the decision was read. Fair weather fans don't stick around. Loma's team is trying to save face just like Wilder's team.

"most here are in agreement that the fault lies w/ Loma. And that Teo did what he had to. "

Totally discrediting Teo's performance.

Trolling is not my thing. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.

 

Who made the excuse? Fans on a message board or the fighter involved? You realize fans here do NOT speak for a fighter, yeah? I feel that shouldn't even need to be said.

All that was reported was Loma has surgery. And there's actual proof. Reports of his shoulder BEFORE and AFTER the fight.

Saying it's 'just like Wilder' is a ridiculous false equivalency that too many posters are trying to jump in on. Wilder blamed his costume, which is what most posters gave him crap for.

Nowhere did I discredit Teo's win. That's simply your interpretation of information you processed. FFS, I've said ON THE RECORD Loma being 100% doesn't mean he wins. And what hypocrisy are you even talking about? Just because you use that word doesn't indicate there is one. For starters, that can only apply to particular posters who you think are being hypocrites, not a vague nameless group you conveniently bunched together.

 

I dont buy it as legit.
If his shoulder was injured, Loma likely had boxed with it in previous fights and was fine with it.
.......after a loss is a different story, the fighter needs a crutch of an excuse to hold on to.

 

Since when should someone care about what you feel needs to be said? Anyway, Lomachenko's manager is the person broadcasting his shoulder surgery and that he was injured before the fight. That's his manager speaking. That's an excuse. I didn't see any reports before the fight. And with Loma doing handstands in the prefight build-up, I would have raised a brow.

Wilder's custom and glove excuses have nothing to do with people dismissing his bicep surgery. They weren't trying to hear that either. That comparison is absolutely relevant.

You typed this.. "most here are in agreement that the fault lies w/ Loma. And that Teo did what he had to. "

Teo used intelligent pressure, feints to open up body shots. He kept Loma off his line and didn't allow himself to get timed by changing positions and controlling Loma with his left arm. Loma wasn't used to that because he's normally too fast. Give that young man his credit for outthinking Loma is the first have of the fight. I give Loma credit for changing tactics and making it a fight.

 

Again, that's simply how you process information. That's on you. But hey, maybe it all was fake. Paid a Dr to say that, took a photo op at the hospital just for good measures. You cracked the case!

Like I said, most of the people where laughing at him using the suit. And even so, IF some said his injury was fake, then what? It's now YOUR TURN to be the idiot, assuming you believe those laughing at Wilder to be idiots. Well, it certainly is your turn to be the idiot I guess.

THIS we can agree on.... The rest of your post is "It's now MY TURN to say stupid things to get back at the other posters..." Good work.

 

Yeah, they paid a dr to make a false statement and went to the hospital for a photo op. You need to be a P.I.!

 

What photo op is this? Youre not thinking that pic of his shoulder being examined by a dr, or that pic of him in a hospital bed with an arm sling is recent, DO YOU?

Hmm.. see what a lil pissant is posting and inventing about me?

 

Obviously, if Loma got surgery for a shoulder injury, that would need to be taken into consideration when discussing how a potential rematch plays out. Of course, as per Michael Woods of the Ring, Lopez was apparently going into the fight with a wrist injury, too. That also needs to be considered, imo.

Either way, the first fight was fun and did terrific numbers for ESPN. Let 'em rematch when they both feel healthier.

 

Well said drew, always been the voice of reason on the board

 

This should make some of you crybabies and fake Doctor detectives happy...

“One thing is for sure: if Lomachenko injured his shoulder at the beginning of the fight, it was not because of the thrown punches. Teofimo also entered the ring in Las Vegas, not being 100 percent ready. On the day of the fight, he underwent physical therapy on his injured wrist. He also injured his ankle and shoulder in training camp.

There is something that fighters and solid insiders know for sure. Each fighter ends the training camp with certain injuries, “David McWater told The Ring.

 

Vernon Forrest never made excuses about his shredded shoulder after the Mayorga losses. Some people on this forum pick and choose when making excuses for an L are okay. Usually when they are unnaturally fond of a fighter.

One could observe that after the first body shot landed, Loma almost shart himself. He became visibly gunshy after that. Loma, not being used to a guy his size, who can dart in and out, move and turn with swift feet just like he can. If he can't deal a guy his size being able to move, pivot, and turn like he can, he should probably run back to 130, because Haney would be all wrong for him.

 

Youre not saying nothing i dont already know lance. Training is physical and theres going to be injuries whether it be a sore knuckle to a blister on the foot, or worse. These things happen in preperation for a fight.
