I didn't but in another thread, 2 posters had these results:

I had the fight and Lomachenko dominated the first half, then Lopez came on landing big shots; Lomachenko seemed to have done enough but the judges were split, one had Loma, one had Lopez and one had it even. A Draw!! no knockdowns or cuts or injuries.

I simmed this fight based on the ratings Jackyle posted for me back in July when I asked for an updated Lopez rating and Lomachenko was comfortably ahead before scoring an 11 RD KO.

I had the fight again; it was very close, Lopez has badly swollen left eye; Loma dropped him in 11th and went on to win U12.

It seems like every fight I see on free TV these days is for some alphabet group's championship "of the woooooooooooorrrrrrrrrlllllllld!"

Like Foreman said years ago, I think networks do that so more people tune in.

I was surprised to see the Loma/Lopez fight did as well as it did, most watched fight on TV in 3 years. People here know both guys but not sure how many casual boxing fans know much about either guy.

Not surprising when both guys together had about 30 fights total. Casual fans wouldn't get many opportunities to see them. Only hardcore fans with multiple cable/streaming packages and money for PPV would know these guys now.

While I did have cable, you still used to have great matches on the free channels. I guess PBC does some of that on FOX, but not enough.

That Crawford/Brook fight next month on ESPN is a pretty good fight potentially. Bud is unbeaten & some think he's the top pound for pound guy in boxing against Kell & his only 2 losses are against unbeaten Spence & GGG @ 160.

We have not bought a PPV fight since Manny Pacquiao's scary KO of Ricky Hatton. Like all Filipinos, my wife is a Pacquiao supporter, but that KO scared her so much we stopped buying PPV.

These days, we couldn't afford PPV boxing anyway.

Recently Mayweather said something to the effect that there are too many meaningless championship belts. I don't like Mayweather at all and normally don't pay attention to anything he says, but I agree 1000% with that.

Oh well. It is what it is. We old guys still have old books, old magazines, and TBCB 2.5.
