Vasyl Anatolyevich Lomachenko vs. Teófimo Andrés López & Alejandro Saucedo vs. Arnold Barboza Jr RBR

Yeah well done, good call.


I think Loma gave so many rounds away he had to go for it and in the 12th when he really had to open up he got hit and hurt, that's why he didn't open up earlier, he was waiting for Teo's power to fade off.

Once Teo had that fade in the middle rounds Loma came on but he knew he had to get a stoppage and when he really went it.. ot just didn't happen.

If Loma apparoached the fight like he did late, started like that, I would expect Lopez to stop him, Lopez would be fresh, still powerful and sharp.

Loma felt something early and didn't want to risk it, he was in there, he knows.

 

I never said they weren’t great fighters

 

I think 8-4 is about right. I can see a case being made for 7-5 but anything more than that? Nah.

That said the idea that he won any wider than 8-4 is utterly ludicrous.

 

I had Lopez by a round or two

he won that fight

loma gameplan was trash. he fought scared early.

 

Well, he dreamed of this moment since he was a kid so he should have went for it earlier, I am really puzzled.

 

You thought Loma won? Even if you had it close, the 12th sealed it? Think you'd have a hard time finding 6 for Loma, much less 7.

 

119-109 proves the fix was in.. Chenko lacks power so they knew they could rob him on the cards

 

Loma fought a bit like a coward to be honest. He waited until Lopez got a bit tired and lost some of his pop before going on the offence.

 

He don't want that Haney work.

 

Comical scorecards tonight generally across both cards.

 

Good fight all in, that last round was absolute fire too, wouldn't be mad if they fought again

 

You expect every Caucasian fighter to be undefeated?

 

What Loma is going to kick himself for is that if he did in round 4 what he started to do in round 7 (just go for it and force the angles and shots) then he may have pulled it out. But he kept waiting and waiting and waiting for that perfect counter, and meanwhile, Lopez was content to just win rounds in a mature fashion.

 

Fixed that for you, Manfred.

 

I think 116-112 Lopez is the fair score. It wasn't a draw, neither was wider than that. 115-113 would be generous to Loma as Lopez turned the tide the final round.
