5/20 ESPN+ PPV: Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenko (Undisputed Lightweight Championship)

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

can y'all tell me what's stopping tank vs Haney? Im a casual so I don't know the politics but I think that would be an exciting ass fight. Im thinking either GTD gets a KO or Haney wins by decision

At this point, common sense and a father's love for his son should stop this shyt. Haney is going to get toe-tagged by Tank if they get in a ring together.

Agree with the judges from what I’ve seen, read the first round was a swing one.
Loma didn’t go out in a bad way, he was in this fight but his effort was too sporadic in most rounds, I mean you can’t win based on a good flurry or two (that don’t visibly hurt or wobble the other) when you get controlled the rest of the round.

Haney’s body work was the story of the fight, dunno why didn’t he try to land the liver shot on a southpaw though, felt like he most lands rights to the body.

Haney might need to move up too, the guy looked slower, more sluggish than his usual which can be him being a bit drained, Loma just being a quick, smaller fighter or both at the same time.

Yeah I think Shakur and Tank running Haney, but most people thought the former before the fight already.

I really don't trust Haney's corner late in either fight.

Loma also allowed way too much bodywork from Devin without really making him pay. That’s what won him the fight. I thought he was lulling him into a false sense of security, and was going to boom his ass at some point but he just kept letting him go to the body.

Devin has some good skills. I think his handspeed is overrated when compared to guys around his size like Teo, though. He should stay at 135 as long as he can. 140 would be a huge challenge for him because he doesn’t seem to really hurt guys at 135 at all.

I think Haney may try to Cash out with a Tank fight cause if he gets KO'd he can use the drained excuse lol

 

[Alpha Dog]

I had it 6-6 but cool with either way, that 12th was huge for Haney. Championship shyt

 

[UpAndComing]

I don't know what it is, but there's still question marks about Devin Haney... and there wasn't any questions answered tonight

 

[gho3st]

It wasnt a robbery though. Coulda went either way or been a draw

Yea im exaggeratin ofc but Haney got real lucky

 

[Deafheaven]

Non of the rds he won were as dominant as the ones where Loma was whooping him around the ring

If you disagree Not gonna argue with u

You do realize boxing is scored by round?

The real fight is tank vs Shakur. Devin gets stopped by tank for sure. And I think Shakur also has a good shot at getting him outta there.

 

[O.Red]

HE GASSED OUT
LATE IN THE 11TH...

I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST TAKING
A BREATHER TO COME OUT
STRONG IN THE 12TH
BUT NAH HE DIDNT HAVE ANY
JUICE LEFT.


​

I gotta rewatch because I ain't mad at that perspective

It looked like he didn't realize how hurt Haney was and didn't want to be greedy and make a fatal error

 

[Rain]

Definitely want to see Tank vs Devin now but if I'm Bill, I tell him to move up to 140 and be done with all of that talk.

 

[desjardins]

Shakur think Loma won
Can’t tell if that’s gamesmanship or not. Either way future is bright for Shakur, wouldn’t mind seeing him fight Loma

I personally had it 7-5 Lomachenko, but there were a lot of close rounds. Tough fight to score I thought.

Haney was doing some very good bodywork, particular with the right hand. He also threw that looping right hand upstairs. Lomachenko had the straight left hand, some good flurries and combos.

Overall it was a pretty good fight.

 

[gangreen]

Great fight. High level boxing.

Anybody saying Loma clearly won is bugging. Close fight. Early it was Haney. Back half 10 11 clearly Loma.. 12th round toss up but gave it to Haney.

Not mad at giving Haney the decision.

Tim Bradley is insufferable
