The American came close to a knockout in the twelfth round.
The absolute world lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez told why he was unable to knock out Vasily Lomachenko in the title fight.
“I was planning to knock him out. Loma fought the best he could. Many talked about what it would be like if he started attacking earlier. It would be a different story.
Do you see where I’m leading? He would quickly knock him out. Loma understood that he could not enter into open battle. He was as safe as he could, but at the same time he needed to be active. “
The American commented that he was close to a knockout in the twelfth round.
“In the last round, Loma started to move forward and act. I realized this was an opportunity to knock him out. Everyone saw that in the last round I started punching and shaking him.
He knew he was surprised. Then the referee stopped the fight due to the cut. If this hadn’t happened then I would have achieved my goal. At least he would kneel down, “Lopez told the SNOWQUEENLA YouTube channel.
Recall that on the night of October 17-18, Teofimo defeated Lomachenko by unanimous decision and became the absolute world champion.
Earlier, López Sr. said that the Ukrainian boxer survived a beating in a duel against an American.
