Here s how the combat sports world reacted to the major upset. Teofimo Lopez shook the combat sports world by scoring a huge upset over the top pound-for-pound boxer in Vasyl Lomachenko. He won with the scores of 116-112, 117-111, and the universally criticized 119-109 card.

Several figures from the boxing scene took to social media to react to both the big upset, and the one indefensible scorecard.

Again what fighters do inside that ring is gallant and Noble. What the judges do outside it is anything but. Tired of saying it, and sick of seeing it. #LomachenkoLopez #LomaLopez Teddy Atlas TeddyAtlasReal October 18, 2020

Again I have no problem with fight going to Lopez, he earned it, but Loma did not deserve to hear the scores that wide. #LomachenkoLopez #LomaLopez Teddy Atlas TeddyAtlasReal October 18, 2020

Lopez was brilliant,I d like to see it again though loma being out for a year at his age especially as his main attributes are supreme distance and timing could ve played a massive part in his inability to start working before 7rds orLopez could ve just have his number Enzo Maccarinelli theRealEnzoMac October 18, 2020
