Lomachenko-Lopez World Lightweight Championship Set, October 17 In Las Vegas - ESPN

[TheNig]

Smart for Lopez to not take a rematch. Loma starting the fight pressuring would be worlds of trouble for Teofimo.

They're gonna run it back. They make the most money by keeping this in-house.

This fight is an example why cutting of the ring is so important. It doesn't matter how much they've mastered footwork such as Loma. If you're effectively cutting off the ring they have to work much much harder. Which pays off later in fights

Yeah. This wasn't even talked about during the fight. Commentators were too distracted by Loma's footwork to pay attention to what Lopez was doing. He was getting those body shots early because he was able to cut the ring off.

Talked all that shyt about Floyd but Floyd would take 2-3 rds off at the most before going to work not half the damn fight

not only that , Floyd wins rounds while accumulating data

GRJ is my guy but he was in over his head in that fight.

Ref missed a clear kd in the 9th round. Feet don’t matter if a punch lands on your jaw before.

6-6 and a KD gives Gary the win.

They’re going to run from Tank/Leo using the other side of the street excuse but I would like to see Lopez against either one.

 

[R=G]

yeah Loma felt his power right away and didn’t want those problems till
He was way down and had no choice

He was being careful more than I've ever seen him..he refused to try to mix it up and force it until he had to by like round 7 and then took body shots during his brave comeback.

I had it 115-113 Lopez. Loma was too passive early. The size difference really seemed to bother him.

It was mostly the speed & timing bro. Loma was finally in the ring with someone that could not only match his IQ but also his foot & hand speed. The power was bothering him too

joe tessitore is rivaling jim lampley pacquaio levels when it comes to being on lomos dikk. shyt was hard to listen to

 

[R=G]

Lopez won the fight clearly but i do think Lomachenko dident work enough in the early rounds...
When he was more aggressive later in the fight he was in control.He started too late and had given up too many rounds.

That control in the 12th round almost got him dropped.

No one wants to see that tank/lsc too small, we need lopez vs Haney for unification

Imo this is what won the fight for Lopez. People can say Lomo should have thrown more early but he couldn’t establish any comfort because Lopez kept cutting him off. Lomo kept trying to step around Lopez to get in his comfort zone but just couldn’t. Lopez ring control the first six rounds was masterful.

Ain’t that something Loma was outta there
