"Look, after I watched the replay of that fight, my score was 8-4 by rounds in my favor. But that's because it's subjective. So the real score is closer to 7-5. That's pretty much what some analysts gave me. But I have different scores for specific rounds. I think I took the second round. It's a little bit of a difference because we look at things differently. That's fine. The rematch? I don't think it's ever going to happen. I'm sure he's afraid. He understands that he lost and what really happened," Lomachenko said.
