The ESPN crew is really trying to drive home that #LomavsLopez was a close fight. It wasn't, these guys are payasos.

Eddie Hearn says Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua is verbally agreed to and contracts are being drafted for the heavyweight championship fight in May/June. Hearn says only “minor issues to resolve” such as who walks last, the site, etc. This fight is going to happen next #FuryJoshua

@Woodsy1069 @TeofimoLopez Lopez is a real threat, an excellent boxer, smart fighter, and he has questionable defense. He'll be fun to watch while it lasts!

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

@Woodsy1069 People dont like watching their favorite fighters fall...especially dominate fighters. This causes people to dismiss the victor and diminish what they've done. Lopez was awesome tonight and this is coming from a fan of both fighters.

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

Teofimo Lopez is an outstanding, talented, and smart fighter but that defense of his looks shoddy at time. That's going to be a problem at some point. #boxing

@MonteroOnBoxing Lopez won rounds 1-6 without question based on effective aggression and the fact that Loma did next to nothing. First round I gave to Loma was 7. He won 3-4 round max. Too little, too late.

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

@MonteroOnBoxing I'm not ready to put Teofimo in the number 1 spot but the fact that he beat number 1 and did it impressively puts him in my top 5 somewhere. His defense looked shakey at times.

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

@MonteroOnBoxing I had it 9-3 or 8-4 for Lopez. Loma did little and Lopez boxed very well.

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

@kylecaudle1 @StevESPNKim I thought Lomachenko clearly won 3 rounds and you could argue 4 but no more than that.

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

Judges got it right tonight! Lomachenko started way too late and was neutralized by Lopez's smart boxing. #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

Lopez takes round 12.

The guys on ESPN are smoking crack. This fight wasnt close. 9-3 or 8-4 for Lopez. No way in hell Loma won more than 4 rounds and that's a bit generous. #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

Loma takes round 11 but even if he wins round 12 it's still going to be 8-4 or 9-3 Lopez. #Lomachenko

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

Loma clearly won round 10 but he needs a KO to win. Too little, too late. #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

Not sure how to score round 9 of #LomavsLopez. Could have gone either way.

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

Loma takes round 8...barely. 7-1 Lopez. #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

7-0 Lopez. Loma is a little more active in the 7th but hes not doing enough to bank rounds. #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

6-0 Lopez. Lomachenko now has to win rounds 7-12 just to get a draw! #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

5-0 Lopez. Hes walking Loma down and Loma isnt doing much of anything. #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

4-0 Lopez. Hes doing a good job of cutting off the ring and throwing smart punches. #LomavsLopez

[SplitDBoxing @SplitDboxing]

3-0 Lopez. Hes the effective aggressor right now. I think Loma is trying to make the kid get impatient and open up carelessly. #LomaLopez
