"For Lomachenko it was probably not much fun to lose his WBA and WBO titles, but if you consider the amount of opponent specific preparation that Lopez must have gone through to fight like that, there aren’t many more sincere compliments in the sport of fist fighting." This is the type of stuff that puts you in a different class from other analysts. F'ing love you.

Was looking for something like this. I had know idea how Lopez shut Loma down. This was perfect.
