Masterclass, boxing clinic, and complete game shut out. Pac was cautious, but still was aggressive and pressed the action. Why? Was Pac 10 years younger than Rios and 10-15 pounds bigger than him?
Shading the triple belt holder, # 1,2,3,4 consensus P4P on scorecards at age 23 with only 15 fights will never be anything other than extremely impressive. It's insane how people will try to politically spin wins/losses on here. And before I'm criticized, I'm a Loma stan and I don't like Lopez at all and picked him to lose vs. both Commey and Loma.......
It's not political spin. You make fun of the guy for years saying he's old, small, declined, inactive, and promised to destroy him and you even bet on yourself to KO him in under 3 rounds. Lopez won, but he failed to back up his words and keep his promise.
Every boxer believes and says he'd beat he'd beat his opponent. And what happened was Floyd was juiced to the gills and Pac was injured. You make fun of the guy for years saying he's old, small, declined,inactive, and promised to destroy him and you even bet on yourself to KOhim in under 3 rounds. Lopez won, but he failed to back up his words and keep his promise.
Aren't you asking for too much from a fighter with only 16 fights ? It is actually ridiculous how boxers today win world titles with only few fights.. Like Lomachenko fighting for a title on his second professional fight.. Really ridiculous and that is one of the big differences of boxing today compare to the good days of boxing. With only 15 or 16 fights he has yet to see so many different styles and experience so many challenges a boxer goes thru. Lomachenko RAN for 6 rounds.. Normally if it was a Mayweather or some else, most of you would call him a chicken and some other names.. Teofimo has a lot to learn and he needs a good trainer other than his father or he is going to get knock out when you least expect it. He had no idea what to do when Loma stopped running and fighting back...
"I pray that God delivers Floyd Mayweather into my arms" Pacquaio himself didn't even believe he could win. He was hoping for some divine intervention..
