lauding Lopez enough for his headspace through this whole fight.
i mean, the patience and maturity he showed for his age blew me away, especially cuz he is the bigger, stronger guy.
he could have lost his composure at any moment and just said to himself "i'm sick of this shit, just gonna try to power this guy to death" and Loma probably woulda flipped that approach on him.
instead, he just played it smooth. he got a little loose in rounds 8-11 but at that point, as long as Loma didn't knock him out which seemed unlikely period (at least IMO), he had already won the fight by then.
