    You guys are all so dumb it's unbelievable omg. Loma won rounds 2, 4, 6..

    Youve all managed to delude yourself on the notion of supposed effective aggression on Lopez's part. It's actually quite shocking a lot of you genuinenly believe Lopez won those rounds. Loma lands the more cleaner shots in these rounds despite Lopez pushing the fight (and not effectively cutting the ring off hence not effective aggression) . Lopez of course lands a share but his supposed good punches do not land clean if you actually watch the exchanges properly.

    I'm still struggling to come to terms with how stupid the entire boxing community for being unable to see this. How in the world can people say Loma did nothing in these rounds..he landed cleaner punches then Lopez jesus I'm done with this moronic sport

    Embarrassing and delusional.

    So if you have an injury that is so debilitating, it will significantly reduce your ability to fight.

    You don't bother delaying the fight, you don't put in a rematch clause, you tell everyone that you feel 100% unlike previous fights where you had shoulder issue's.

    You play tennis, basketball and do handstands with said injury, instead of reducing stress on that shoulder as much as possible.

    Loma has all these other training methods he could have focused on if his shoulder is as bad is you make it out to be. Plus he had an injection. His publicist more than likely leaked this for damage control purposes.

    Basic.

    Scared and wounded ( injured) fighter that's what it appeared to me. He tried to win tippy tap shots in the early rounds. But you can't win rounds running for 98 percent of the round and only doing something 2 percent of it.

    The official judges gave Canelo most of the later rounds. (2 judges gave Canelo 3 out of the last 4 rounds, and other judge gave him 2 out of the last 4 rounds) So from that standpoint what you're saying makes sense.

    After 6 rounds the score was Mayweather 5-1, 5-1, 4-2 but the judges disagreed on which rounds they gave to Canelo. Ross gave Canelo round 1 and round 3, the other judges gave Canelo round 2 and round 3. The 4th round which all the judges gave to Mayweather was in my view Canelo's best round. Watch it again, you'll see. Round 5 was relatively close but I thought Mayweather pretty clearly took that round, Round 6 was dead even and I scored it 10-10. Round 7 was Mayweather's best round and round 8 Canelo started well but Mayweather took over in the 2nd half of the round. I thought Canelo won at least 2 of the last 4 rounds, I had him winning round 10 and round 12. Round 9 I think is more debatable than round 11, but both were relatively close.

    Canelo was cautious early on but so was Mayweather. The first 6 rounds were more of a chess match whereas rounds 7-11 both fighters started opening up more, with Mayweather doing most of the better work starting in round 7, until the 12th round where Mayweather started stalling and backing away. Canelo was more defensively sound early on despite him not landing as much. He was more cautious but not taking as many risks. He did open up in the 4th round though starting at about the halfway point. So from that standpoint what you're saying is more aligned with the judges, I thought the margin was victory was fair but I didn't agree with how many of the rounds were scored.

    I'm glad you brought this up beacuse this is a problem we see in a lot of prize fights. It happens with official judges and with fans of a fighter. A good example of this is round 4 in Canelo GGG 1. GGG did a lot better in round 4 than he did in the previous 3 rounds, but he still didn't do enough to win it in my view. Canelo was still doing his thing, making him miss and landing on GGG. It was just GGG was starting to close the distance and landed a couple good shots. The judges and his fans seeing that he did better that round are inclined to give him the round just because he did better.

    I think the same thing happened in Loma Lopez, in round 7 for sure but also in rounds 8-10. Loma started throwing more and landed some shots, he started trading with Lopez in spurts. This caused a lot of fans to give him some of all of these rounds because he was actually doing something as opposed to not doing much of anything in the first 6 rounds. But as you point out these rounds were still close and could be scored to Lopez. Loma did better in these rounds, but arguably still not enough to win the rounds.

    Because I'm not a fanboy like you who screams corruption like a school girl every time your favorite fighter loses!

    That's not the point. Loma faking a shoulder injury wouldn't be the wildest conspirecy theory to ever grace this site is what I'm saying. And it's believable. Like I said before, his team would never allow him to go into that fight with 1 good arm. That goes against every meticulous method of planning they've displayed throughout Loma's career. That's why I don't believe it.

    Go talk about conspiracy theories w/ the other nutsacks elaswhere man. This isn't Qanon... Loma's team WANTED him to pull out. He said if he does, he's retiring. The fighter has the final word.

    He didn't say that! Retire instead of postpone? Does that sound right to you? What article can I reference that has him saying that?

    Hope so. If not, hoping Teo faces Tank next. Teo can move on while Loma recovers. Good, winnable fight for Lopez.
