    Terry O'Connor has to be banned from judging ever again!!

    Seriously.

    The markets were widely in favour of Vasquez at the end. He was 1/5 at the end.

    Terry on his phone mid fight probably lumping on Ritson.

    Some upsets on the undercard though with Joe Laws and Qais Ashfaq losing, delighted for Kane Baker as well after Speare giving it Billy big balls on twitter saying he was undefeated and should've been the home fighter

    Berlanga’s power is definitely for real. Big statement with that KO. 15-0 with 15 first-round KOs

    3-0 Lopez. Loma looks lost, and too cautious.

    Loma acting as if scared of Lopez’s power.

    Loma would want to start going to work.

    Circling for the first time. Appears to have realised you need to throw punches to win fights.

    Mental. Probably took the 8th but slowed down again in the 9th.

    He really has to go for broke here but dunno if him or the corner realise it.

    Fair play to Lopez but he has barely had to work for this lead.

    I think judges will have this 6-5 Lopez, draw on the cards unless there is a knockdown in 12

    Ludicrous if so. Loma at most won 3 rds...

    Loma was very poor...

    Far too cautious..

    Only started working rd 8...and even then he wasn’t necessarily winning.

    Don't understand that from Loma at all. Appeared surprised that Lopez was big and fast and he left it way to make before he started working.

    Lopez thoroughly deserving but he hardly had to work for that at all. Was basically given a headstart of 7 rounds.

    Loma lost that because Lopez was quite good AND Loma was too cautious/fearful of Lopez’s power..

    The 119-109 card is not at all off..

    Even the rds that one could give Loma, which was about 3-4 max, Lopez was very competitive in all them..

    No arguments there. Lopez boxed well and disciplined for the full 12. He did perhaps slow slightly around 8 or 9 but Loma didn't capitalise. Very ordinary from him, despite what his shorts say no real Venum there. Failed to circle properly, think Lopez did a good job of closing down his movements and keeping him where he wanted him.

    Where was Loma's trademark uppercut that doesn't miss?
