Great match, masterfully prepared, studied and executed by two BOXERS, who have a great angle.
Teofilo Lopez became world champion of 4 stars at the age of 23, he really wrote a page in history, beating a super boxer like Loma. The match was balanced, there is no question, but there was a supremacy of Lopez in the highlights, he managed to replicate, contain, put back and manage a boxer almost unbeatable on paper, this is the merit of Lopez who is 23 years old and he is very young.
The match started with Teo, who went to look for Loma and never allowed him to go live until the seventh round, he controlled him and hit him, especially in the body with a myriad of combinations where Loma was masterful in defending himself , his defense is truly incredible even when he always takes the shot that comes dirty.
From the seventh, Loma took the chair, and the match took that speed, which has always been present, but alternatively from the boxing textbook.
Loma, enters his series, with a huge choice of timing, in all the moments in which Teofilo took a breath but Teo, was always ready to recover; Loma’s shots were cleaner, but Lopez’s shots were more powerful, in some phases this difference was seen in an exaggerated way, in a couple of circumstances Loma was seen wavering, I repeat clean shots he took very few during this match, they got to his body, but it was also evident that he felt them, and in our opinion the difference was won at the 12th round where Lopez put perhaps a cleaner left upright shot than the match, which significantly shook Loma, and then continued with the series, putting in more shots and dominating the second half that is the queen of the match. Loma is back ready to strike but has suffered the action of Lopez who, a few seconds from the end, clearly says: let’s go on … but the match was already over.
What we have seen:, great choices of time, great ability to face each other but not openly, and here the ability of both the boxers and the angles to make them execute the team orders to the letter must be highlighted, and the technical intelligence highlighted. tactics of doing their job really well, two super champions unquestionably but we argue that Lopez came out as a winner, because in addition to the hunger for victory, he has a wealth of boxing skills of the first order and what impresses us is that he still has room for improvement. (highlighting how he did the match and how he led and hit the twelfth round)
Lopez has just shown that having a superior power, in addition to the rest of a champion, coming from a younger generation you can beat a man like Lomachenko, who is called Hi Tech, not for nothing, and remains an indisputably super champion; we saw a match at the limit of technical tactical intelligence, where, however, a face to face exchange was lacking (for the sake of Loma, who clearly would have paid), (if we exclude the final part of the twelfth where Loma lost) but the notes played during the match and the continuous reversals in front of us did not really miss anything, they were incredibly masterful, in working in alternating phases, and in showing us games of combinations that mutually broke each other on the bodies of the other, and switch .
Deserved the victory of Lopez who is a super boxer with high margins for improvement and given the hunger for victories he has … a not very nice note but we say it, the magazine, reviewing it, seemed voluntary … who makes a somersault to the ‘back knows where your body is … sorry
honor and praise to the winner.
of the subclou what to say:
Saucedo masterfully wins on points, and enters by right into the elite of super light aircraft;
Berlanga at the first take … and there are 15.
