0:46 🤦♂️ duh max, those both went to lopez. you can do better than that. why did loma win rd 2 or 7? any idea's
I think it’s funny how Stephanie a smith questions Max’s basketball knowledge but max never calls him out on his boxing knowledge Smith clearly knows nothing about boxing
watched the fight in slow motion it took a long time but the punches that were thought to be landed my Lopez more then 50% of them didnt land... At the end I Had Loma up 116-114 in a very high level Chess Match....
Vasiliy Lomachenko SUCKS! Good for Lopez he won the fight.
Max should be a judge, he calls it like it is. I had it 7-5 for Lopez
Lomachenko feed work against who ? Class b and c fighters
Is it me or does this white guy have a weird haircut
lol if perkins was here he would disagree
So people still that Lopez won that fight we all knew that it was draw ✍️ that fight even Loma open up the fight late in second half due shoulder injury
What about that pivot game by Teo turning with Loma as Loma was looking to shift..that took away a lot of opportunities for Loma..
Punch stats is fake period.
All of these Latinos and Mexican fighters are scared of black fighters..
Max knows more boxing & stephen a smith knows more basketball
Max what happen to p4p Lomo he was a cherry picker that's why he dodge fighting Devin Hayne him and Teofimo
This fight was REDICULOUS, THERES NO WAY Lopez should have won with as many cheap shots he took. You don't represent my USA. Cant wait till someone HONESTLY, takes the belt away from you! Lomanchanko, much love!
Im watching This fight and Lomo was in trouble from first ROUND he was like the challenger up against Lopez who In my Eyes Destroyed Lomo inmost Departments thats why The Ex undesputed champ could not get close and he never had the center of the Ring and Lopez will be and bad bad Fighter plus hes got the power you could see that against lomo he was surprised
Watched the match, I don’t see Lopez landing a clinical punch. Bias judges
I love Max and his breakdowns.
Oh Steve...LomaNchenko? why u adding an N? You don't even know his name...
we need personality in boxing ......seriously
Loma lost.. But not as big as the judges scored it.. weve got a young hungry lopez that will give us great fights. All the respect, to Lomachenko "a great champion" that brought pride back to Ukraine!! It is hard for older fighters to accept, but we lose to younger guys.. It is what it is!!
watch the fight again teofimo missed hella lot more punches than u think
I wonder what mayweather Sr would say about Stephen's boxing talk😂😂
To listen to this Is pathetic. Now NOMACHENKO saying he got robbed. 😂😂😂 omfg
Good assessment by all 3 but I liked the last guy more
Loma didnt even look like he was trying
Steven A. is so fos but I guess he gets paid to be fos.
Max is the problem of today’s boxing decisions! There is no such thing as a “could of gone either way round” either one guy or the other won it! It’s as simple as that! Lopez won that fight 8 rounds to 4
The difference between american commentators and everyone else is shocking, i can't believe how bad these guys are.
Nice unbiased analysis.
lol , this fight was not close . Lopez is the champion!! This fighter will have problems finding opponents I think , cause that left hook is death
We could have stopped after Max’s take, but they always feel the need to subject us to an analysis from people who don’t understand boxing
What impressed me most was Lopez's mental toughness. We knew he had power, and we knew he was a sublime athlete. But could he stay disciplined for 12 rounds against a great fighter? There was no way to know until he did it, and he did it exceptionally.
Max can't judge boxing. Teo won easily 9 to 3 rounds. Stephen A is a better judge.
Imagine Floyd being your best man at your wedding. He'd stand up to make a toast....to himself.
That was a Business decision to say Crawford is the best P4P... no other logical explanation besides trying to get Crawford to PBC because it was definitely a false statement.
I disagree when the analysts say that “Fighter X” is better for boxing than “Fighter Y”. Sorry not right.
homocheno really sucks. the pound for pound is just a joke man.
Max... what is that dead trim?
Juan Manuel Marquez beat that theory twice... he was the great small fighter vs the great big fighter and was the old fighter in a lot of his fights....
'Elusiveness' not 'elusivity'
So this is what u call domination?
I agree with this comments.
Why is Ryan Clark talking about boxing??? Gimme a break!
Loma footwork unrivalled???😂😂 gtfo
Lopez for president.
After not fighting for almost a year and half Lomachenko took around eight rounds to warm up. to me he just looked like he was full of ring rust for the first half of the fight. and even in the later part of the fight he just didn't look like he was on his game. I am not sure how much to credit Lopez for what happened. did Lopez take Loma out of his game. or was Loma just not himself after to long of a layoff. or is he losing his edge because of his age. it will be interesting to see how he comes back from this.
Only time will tell....
I still don't understand why Stephen has a seat at this table. It's like hiring a plumber to fix your computer.

Dunno...after way some guys have"fixed" my computer...I've thought.. "Maybe I should have hired a plumber!"
Not sure how i feel about Ryan Clark talking boxing...ok i don’t care for it
I've never seen Lopez fight untill now that's cause he's always running his mouth and that turnes me off but he can fight. I wanna see him in there with Haney or Tank. And don't get it twisted you never heard of me yet but you will. I'm coming up in the boxing world.
Can I get a highlight reel of all the punches that lopez landed.
Much respect for Loma for fighting a bigger dude, trying to prove himself.
I seriously don't believe for a second that this stephen guy was really cheering for Lopez
Lomo waited too long, can’t do that with the youngsters. Lopez took it to him and stayed strong throughout the fight. Lomo did his thing and Lopez did his a little better. Hats off to the young champ
Lopez came to fight had a good plan and in great condition,a true champ!!stepped up and took the fight!which alot of these boxers not doing!
Max: he wouldn’t let him establish his out side foot SAS: and I loved it
Lopez is lucky there aren't 15 round fights anymore.... Loma was starting to tee off on Lopez and Lopez was getting hurt....Loma came on too late....hope there is a rematch
OVER RATED!!
I never take these guys seriously
"Stephen A" is there another Stephen on that panel?
PAC to challenge Teo and attempt to be the undisputed 135 champ! PAC is a natural 135-140lb fighter. Once successful, attempt to unify belts in 147 lbs. How about that?
Lopez kept Loma at bay loma worried about power from 1st rd he tasted it ,and when he tried turn it on 2nd half .. Lopez always had response .. Tank vs Lopez won't happen but it would be 2 special fast twitch power punchers epic but its time for Lopez go 140lb ...
Not sure anyone thought it would be Mayweather Canelo again but ok...
I used to feel bad for Max Kellerman when all the basketball pundits bashed him for just talking about basketball as a non-expert on the sport but after watching this and previous things like Stephen A covering UFC events, I 100% agree with those critics now. If you’re not an expert in the field, you should not talk about it as if you knew even the basics when you don’t. That’s why shows like this are just nothing but blabbering useless content with no real analysis and just debate and banter for the same of entertainment
Dude when you have a guy perform the way Teofilo López did, without the money, the tv contracts, the spot lights, the PPV, the prime time, in the middle of a pandemic, with no live audience etc and he still goes and champions and schools the lbxlb champion you have a real hero. A real CHAMPION. ¡Teofilo López! ¡Viva México¡ 🇲🇽
Loma underestimated Teofimo speed and gas tank. Loma sat back too long expecting Teo to make a mistake rather than forcing a mistake by throwing his hands. Teo came for war and Loma thought he was going to out smart him and gas him out
Nah son. Lopez was more active but barely hit him. Loma hit him cleaner in the second half. Should've been a draw. If Tyson fury and wilder was a draw this should've been one.
I had it 7-5 Lopez
How can you/ anyone compare Lomo to the GREAT boxers of our pass? Come on man!!!! This is so ridiculous!!!! The greatest boxer's of our pass ( Ali, Hagler, Sugar Ray, Frasier, Forman, Tyson, Holyfield etc...) had many straight out Wars in the boxing ring and Won significant Championships that solidified them into the Boxing Hall of Fame and that gave them the Rank of The Best Pound for Pound. Lomo is a very Good fighter with a high fighting I.Q. but that doesn't make him the best (and probably a great fighter in time though, which he doesn't have). So people please let's stop comparing him to the great one's of the game. HE'S NOT!!!!!!! Lopez showed that if you NEUTRALIZE Lomo's footwork he's not as a big of a treat as we thought he was. Big and much RESPECT to Teophimo. He did an outstanding job of taking the Belt and becoming the Unified Champion!!!! PERIOD!!!! Let's see what Teo can do from here... Remember 400 amateur fights don't make you a great Professional Fighter!!!! Facts!!!!
Great fight but I think a rematch would be even better
What is Max talking about? The fight did not hang in the balance in the 12th. Loma one maybe 3 rounds. Lopez is just better than Loma. Let’s leave this less Melanin Agenda out of boxing. ESPN will lose credibility and disrupt itself just like HBO Boxing.
Look how quiet they are when Max is talking boxing
Theyre both wack
How many times are you going to bring up his AMATEUR background? He's in the PROS now. Act accordingly.
Low man fought a class A fighter
Lopez is a huge light weight. Look at the difference in their foot size alone. One man is small for his weight and the other one is big for his weight. We'll see how good Lopez is when he moves up a weight division or two. I'm not knocking his skill but if he really wants to be a great champion he should stay at lightweight and fight for a few years like Duran.
Lopez is easy to hit, he's not that great Max.
Loma doesn't look that impressive at 135.

He didn't look impressive because Lopez is too great of a fighter .
Look at them trying to draw a wedge between teo and his father. Pure trash.
max doesnt know anything about sports let alone boxing, he just tries
See, we told you from LONG time, Floyd Mayweather was better than Lomachenko. Bob Arum was chatting RUBBISH ! Lomachenko WILL be back tho. He's not the first all time great to lose.
Loma did not win 8-11. They were close and lopez was moving forward and making the fight most of the round. Then there were questionable tactics committed by loma. Judges can deduct without the referee's command. I think a 10 point margin is extreme. More like 5-6 margin including deductions.
Why aren't we talking about the 4 dirty headbuts from Loma? They should've taken at least 1 point. So the rounds he supposedly he won werent technical they were dirty.
400 amateurs and 2 gold medals ... at what weight did Lomachenko win gold ??? Lightweight is only 3 pounds above his amateur and professional Olympic gold medals. Lomachenko was 24 years old fighting against teenage boys during his last run at the gold medal . I'm tired of these fake boxing fan commentors telling us that Lomachenko won rounds 7,8,9,and 2 ! Teofimo dominated every round except 11 and none of them even tell you why they thought to give Lomachenko round 2 except that Joe Tesator tried calling the round for Lomachenko in order to fake an even score at the time
Fight wss alot closer than judges score cards and if Lomo had dominated 12th instead of Lopez...i had him winning or a draw...to say no need for rematch? Ludicrous. 7-11 rounds loma didnt look like a loser.. I do agree he s more effective down at 130
Yup Lopez killed it. Great fight.
You cannot protect a hype job forever eventually he’s going to have to fight somebody that will show the world who he really is can’t always duck Loma has been crying ever cents
Lopez obviously won but I don’t like how everyone forgets everything lomachenko has done just cause of a loss and calls him overated. He could win a rematch if he stops giving up rounds

The thing wos that Lomachenko thought that beyoun numbet 6 round López Will get tire, but what he never thought wos that López still Will have power to answered back at the round 11 or 12, we need to remember that Lomachenko strategy is to make his opponent tire and then knock them down and win, but everything went wrong.

I knew that Lomachenko was dangerous but López is a killer man with a deathle punch and i'll not ignore that so i thought that López Would beat him definitely.
Most of Lopez' punches landed on Lomas' gloves . I think that the judges need thicker glasses
The footwork looks great for lomachenko but the hands are what makes boxing.
Lomachenko is a show with his skills but Lopez did just straight great boxing!
Loma won the battle. not so bright but won. this is no boxing but a dirty business.
You gotta give this fight a draw at the least! Max you're drinking the cool-aid!
Nobody is saying Temo used, Floyd's, shoulder roll to perfection.
119-109 Cool
Headbutt skills on fleck.
I don’t care what anyone says, Marvin Hagler won that fight!
Great job commentators
