Loma had surgery on his shoulder after the fight.
A GREAT SUPER TACTICAL FIGHT WHERE LOPEZ PROVED HIS HEART , SKILL AND RING SMARTS…. MAJOR KUDOS TO BOTH THESE GREAT FIGHTERS AND KEEP THOSE GREAT VIDEOS COMING, RUMMY 👍👍👍🙂🥊🥊
Worst fight of the year. Thats why boxing sux. At least ufc fighters mix it up.
People underestimated Teofimo ring. I.Q and his amateur pedigree…this fight came down too gameplan and adjustments …Teofimo is Top level but not king until he defeats DEVIN HANEY
Love ya Rummy, but you dont know shit about boxing 😂
I had it a pretty clear 6-6 but I can see why people gave it to Lopez if there's a rematch I'll be thrilled
It was a Draw, they were both scared.
Is this a Loma highlight 🤣
Never showed Neo-Fima Lopez highlights!
But you also missed Lomas best Headbutt highlight. 🤣
Was so pretty when he would use his shoulder to shove Loma off balance and hit him with that straight
Oh come on, Loma come to this fight with injure, don't do much half a bout and still have a close fight.
Loma vs tank would be 🔥🔥🔥
Lol so Loma beats all the Champs to get all the belts yet looses a controversial decision to Lopez and now Lopez is pound for pound? What a load of hippo crap !! Lopez has not done enough to be in the pvp mix !!! Boxing is so corrupt i may never watch it again !
I couldn't give Loma more than 4 rounds and one of those rounds could have gone the other way.
great fight, definitely deserves a rematch
Didn't hurt having Joey Gamache in his corner; he's the next great trainer of champions…
+Rummy's Corner …. Great analysis! I think it would be worth noting that Teofimo's trainer/father kept telling him that it was a blow out even when loma was coming on late and Teo's father advised him not to engage and get into a firefight. Even in the final round, Teo's father told him to just box loma and Teo remarked in the post fight interview that he felt that he should finish strong by putting the icing on the cake in the final round. I believe that Teo could have and would have won a more convincing fight if it were not for his father telling him to keep boxing in the rounds when loma was upping his punch output. Either way, it was clear in the final round that when Teofimo traded with Loma in the pocket, Loma could not match his power or speed and had to fold.
Lomachenko looks invincible against C-level fighters. He has always struggled whenever he stepped up.
He is no Mayweather or Pacquiao.
I was surprised…I thought Lomachenko was going take it too. I was very impressed with Lopez! 👏 bravo Lopez!
Loma started late
Don't feel bad, Rummy… I thought Loma would win, too. I knew Lopez was good, but I didn't think he was ready for the top of the heap. I was wrong.
I am still surprised about how overrated is the victory of Lopez. The fight may have been easily a draw or a close 115 113 for Lopez due to round 12. Anyway, Lopez wasn't exceptional, but just mature,patient and concentrated. Not taking anything away from Lopez, which is a great fighter. Yet, that fight seemingly proves nothing. Loma was stuck in searching angles. the size of Lopez and his low quantity of errors, which were anyway not extensively significant, do not destroy Loma. Loma, referring to THIS fight, lost because of Time. Were Loma being beaten, forced to change the plan and failing it, i would agree that Lopez took over. This was not the case. I think that was not size, but the SPEED of Lopez that surprised Loma. Lopez was very fast while being controlled, focused, effective.

It was like you said. Loma waited too long for Lopez to tire but then I still think Loma would have been Ko'd if he had gone in guns blazing. Teo carries too much power to hang on the inside with him and being smaller you can't win from the outside. I don't see Loma beating Lopez in a rematch 🤷🏼♂️
One of 2 things happen either Loma was injuried and could pull the trigger from a prior shoulder injury or was scared to get hit early. I think the latter
Loma should have been fighting Haney they both are scared of him that's why they have a franchise belt.
I knew lomo was in trouble when femo put that body shot on him trying to pull that matrix stuff off that lifted him off both his feet.
We need some good trilogies again
Lopez won fair and square all credit due to him, he was the better fighter that night. I'm really not convinced Lopez is too much for Lomachenko after looking at compubox/Lopez's face, along with the fact that Lomachenko just stuck to his erroneous approach that night for way too long. Desperately need a rematch, if you are right Loma gets knocked out by taking the fight to Lopez. Eitherway Lopez wanting none of that I think speaks volumes my man.
Lost INTREST in boxing because of too many alphabet belt Criminal Organizations and all of the corruption that comes. Boxing was a passion of mine back in the good old days. When the best fought the best.
115-113 was the correct score Loma took rd 2 in which he hurt Lopez with a counter left
Maybe Lomachenko's ring rust affected him? IDK. Regardless, if I'm Teofimo I don't give him a rematch right away. Keep getting better
Noooooooooo realy hes not king maybe a queen mahhhhhhhaaaaa
Loma got robbed
