    You cretin. Loma won the second round as he was the only one to land any meaningful punches. He then won 7-11 and 12 was debateable. The fact, as I clearly stated, that Loma was not given the rematch tells you all you need to know.

    12 was debatable? Haha. You're clearly too biased to even be worth the time.

    I don't think Teofimo Lopez has reached his peak yet.

    12th round debatable when Lopez landed 50+ punches that's all you need to know.

    I like Lomachenko but Loma fans just need to let it go he clearly lost to Lopez end of.

    I think his resume might be better than Aaron Pryor's.

    Wins over Antonio Cervantes and Alexis Arguello are better than wins over Lomachenko and Taylor IMO.

    The first win over Arguello was tainted and the second one wasn't very meaningful. Arguello was never a 140 champ.

    Lineal 135/140 with wins over Taylor and Lomachenko easily puts him in that convo.

    There was nothing debatable about the 12th round of Lopez-Loma. It was clearly Loma's worst round as a pro, and that includes the KD he suffered against Linares.

    Lopez is probably in based on having two big wins over guys that were considered elite/p4p at the time. I don't see him as ATG or anything, but he's probably established the same type of case as a guy like Bradley did to get in.

    He has a great resume. He beat Loma (unlike Haney imo) and now Taylor. That’s real solid. Yes he lost to Kambosos which was unexpected and that other fight he had which could have been a draw but he has two huge wins. And - if he doesn’t retire (he’d be a fool too with the money out there in his division) he can have many big fights for next 3 years. All he needs is one more big fight and he’s in the HOF. Solid win last night

    12th round had equal number of punches landed for each, but since Lopez is significantly stronger and punches much harder they had a bigger impact on Lomachenko.

    Round 12 was the only round where Lopez showed effective aggression.
    Catterall did it first.

    That´s the point. His wins define his career, not his losses.

    He had lots of wins, Teofimo doesn't. Duran lost well above his natural weight too.
    I will be more charitable towards Lopez if he lost at 154
