2723780, I gave Loma round 8...that was it

I don’t see the outrage at the 119 card, that’s what I saw

Loma gave away the early rounds...but I’ve never seen a fighter intentionally give away the entire first half of a fight

I thought he was going for the KO in round 8...didn’t get it, but definitely won the round

and I didn’t think his jab was enough to win rounds vs Lopez’s power in the remaining rounds

Just because he decides to start throwing doesn’t automatically mean he wins rounds

Lopez was still beating him.

Wasn’t even an exciting fight for the most part

What started off looking like a strategy to tire Lopez, ended up looking like Loma ran for the whole fight

Brilliant strategy and execution by Lopez

Keeping Loma in front of him, working the body and not letting Loma get into a rhythm...I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it

Shame of it is, he’s probably going to move up for big names in future fights

Doubt we see a rematch.
