[Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Lightweight Unification fight - October 17

[TopTort777]

Speaking about rematch - to they have a line about obligatory rematch in their contract? Lopez will not be interested in rematch right now. He might face other opponent in his next fight and lose all the belts. If this happens, will these two still be interested in rematch?

[yazher]

The bigger, stronger, and younger man won. A well-deserved win by Lopez rekt bettors! Lol, Loma should have stayed in Featherweight.
At the age of 32, he is at the edge of his career. Let's see if he want to get a rematch or not.

That was indeed the greatest fight I've ever seen this year and unexpected results too. those people who prefer Lopez to win the fight has now surely enjoyed their day because of the result today. Damn! we don't see this unification bout every year and this might be one of the greatest upsets in the histories of unification fights we've ever had in the Boxing history.

[Baofeng]

Yes, upset of the year, unexpected result, so give due to Lopez and his team and his father. Of course, I was one of the disappointed fans here, but that's boxing and that's what makes it more exciting. Loma is really small for 135 lbs and he met the biggest champion out there. And now Lopez open his doors for future big fights and he has all the belts now. And he is the one that is going to be chase by a lot of 135 lbs young prospects and there are a lot, Haney, Davis, Ryan Garcia and others.

The media reports says that there are NO rematch closeclause, of course we can sense the Loma wants a rematch, but if Lopez does not obliged that Loma will have to work his way up again to become mandatory before we can see this two face again. Maybe Loma did taste the power of Lopez in round one that's why he shell out and not attacking up to the middle of the rounds, because we never seen him fight like this before, maybe the long layoff has affected him?, or because there are no crowds?, or Lopez really get into this skin that he was very much distracted?.

I was rooting for Loma but seems that he's not prepared to face Lopez.
Or did he really train hard for this fight? Maybe he got confident that he can beat Lopez?
Because the odds are saying from every sportsbook that they were favouring him in the winning side.
So I strongly believe, Lopez did see that challenge so he prepared hard for this match.

No excuse man, Lopez was the better fighter in this fight, he cannot underestimate Lopez because the kid has a very high KO rate, so he wasn't so aggressive in the fight and that means he respected the power of Lopez, unfortunately that cause him a lose because Lopez defense was outstanding.

NO REMATCH CLAUSE FOR VASILIY LOMACHENKO VS. TEOFIMO LOPEZ JR.

Oh c'mon! I don't understand why they would agree on such deal in the first place? Of course I'm sure that every loser (which is Loma in this case) always wanted a rematch on the opposing fighter in order to take a revenge and prove that he is more worthy — to reclaim his glory. Now what? I guess Loma is regretting now because he can't his belt back. While on the other hand, good for Lopez because he no longer need to face a deadly opponent like him .

So what do you think is next for Lopez? Maybe against Davis would be an exciting match.

[Kemarit]

So what do you think is next for Lopez? Maybe against Davis would be an exciting match.

Pretty much the division is stack up with exciting fighters, and for the record it's not unification per se, Haney is the WBC champion, so Haney and Davis should be the next if they want a true unification.

Davis and Haney have a schedule fights, so once they hurdle their respective opponents, then we might see another big fight next year in this division. And then we have Ryan Garcia also in the radar, here is the complete list of rankings:

Congrats to everyone who bet on Lopez. On the broadcast they said that more people bet on him but there was more money on Loma. The whales were mistaken to underestimate Lopez and they made a lot of small betters very happy.

Loma deserves a ton of credit for being a fighter who is not worried about protecting an undefeated record and always wanting to face the biggest challenges. He has had an excellent hall of fame worthy career and will be champion again.

Lopez and his dad are talking about moving up in weight. I would like to see him against Davis, Haney, and Ryan Garcia but if he moves up there is also Ramirez, Taylor, Prograis and even Zepeda which would all be very interesting.

[Fundamentals Of]

I consider this as a candidate for the upset of the year but although the likely winner is the Whyte - Povetkin match we'll see on their second match if Whyte can even the match, I looked past Lopez performance he shows class and dominant I never thought Loma can be tame but Lopez tame him, this is the real only loss of Loma, I consider his first loss as controversial.

I think that this will be the upset of the year already and possible one of the greatest upsets of all time in boxing history.
It maybe sound like weird but before the pandemic, Lomachenko's name has been popular already because of his fights and he is the fastest boxer to win 3 titles. Include also his skills.

The problem here is that Lopez dominated from the start of the fight until the end. Yes Loma did some good rounds but it was the 2nd half already of the fight and Lopez didn't stop from there. I will wait for a rematch for this possible next year .

No, I would still vote for the Povetkin upset rather than this one. Lopez is a rising star, very young, promising, undefeated, etc. That is not considered a huge upset if he wins over a legendary but kind of older fighter. There is really no other way for this young talented Lopez but up. Those are big factors for me. Povetkin, on the other hand, doesn't have what Lopez has.

Moreover, Lopez won by UD while the old Povetkin won by an unbelievable KO.

No, Loma already has one loss prior to this fight, he has now 2 loses, one a legitimate loss from Lopez, the other one was a loss early in his career, but it was a controversial loss actually, so maybe people thought he was undefeated prior to his loss yesterday.

Exactly, people will be mistaken especially if they are not follow loma's early career, he has a loss from Salido but during that time it wasn't really that controversial as only few people have known the fight since it's just Loma's 2nd fight, the fight with Lopez was a great fight, it was a hype fight but unfortunately he seemed a little bit off in the fight, I don't know if the pandemic has affected his training but he wasn't really doing well that's why he loss.

It could be upset of the year considering that unification fight only happens ones in a blue moon lol.

Yesterday's result was way off my expectation. A draw is what was on my mind if both fighters can't really convinced the judges and i expect Loma to dismantle Lopez but unfortunately that didn't happen. Kodus to Lopez as he came to the fight unafraid of Loma and he gave his all.

Lopez clearly won that fight but with one judge 119-109 score, it's just too much. For me that was a close fight.

Ryan Garcia vs Lopez is a fight in the future that boxing fans will wait to happen, it's a good match.

Well, that Judge must really see how Lopez outsmart Loma in this fight, can't blame him, but regardless, a win is a win, whether it's a split or unanimous, but this one clearly is a unanimous, sometimes we just don't see it coming as we are bias with our favorite boxer here.

Ryan Garcia vs Lopez is a fight in the future that boxing fans will wait to happen, it's a good match.

Maybe, let's see, but I can compare now how really great Manny is compared to this young boxers.

Honestly, this fight was one of the best boxing match this year and I'm sure Lopez winning the fight will shocked all Loma fans and others that believed in Loma statement when he claimed to have the fight in bag, I'm sure you guys now understand what i mean when I said Lopez have chance to win this fight.

You were right, the chance you are talking was a "big chance" because Loma got dominated in the fight, and Lopez who is selling the fight well got the win in this fight, the Kid was a real warrior, I would watch all his upcoming fights for sure, and of course Loma as well as I know he'll bounce back.

[kamadazje]

I am quite shock also to the result as I didn't expect that it will end up to a big upset as Lomanchenko is the favored boxer to win this fight. Upon watching their fight I can see that Lopez was able to dominate Lomachenko base on punches landed.

Lopez did his best and he deserve his win and for Lomanchenko, he should do better next time in order to avoid this kind of upset in his future fights.

Loma might bounce back but he's currently feeling disappointed and still dont accept the winning.

Yes, Lomanchenko was favored to win the fight but I saw something inspiring in Lopez despite Loma hype statement which i believe make him to underestimate his opponent and I read that Loma doesn't agree with the fight scorecard but whatever it is, the decision is to make.

The feeling is normal, losing in a fight is not easy to accept especially for him who was a champion for a very long time, and this young opponent just upset him like that, he didn't even give a good fight, he was like a challenger in the fight and Lopez was the champ.

Actually I am already convince that Loma would lost, I'm not shocked hearing the score card as that was no cheating, it's what's happening in the fight.
