They need to be more careful when they're calling the fight, especially where brothers are concerned.

We all know what it is. They're looking for any excuse to give their guy the moral victory. When the fight isn't called down the middle, it allows them to cling to the delusion that it was a one sided affair.

I thought that Lomachenko put on a spirited performance in rounds 10 and 11. I can't in my heart of hearts give him props because I sincere believe he is on gear, but from a point scoring point of view it was enough to claw himself back in the fight.

Haney did what champions do and dug deep in the 12th round. Would have been easy for him to think all was lost but he stepped up. That's what we should be praising.

HES GIVEN HIM HIS
FULL SUPPORT IN THE POST FIGHT

:devil:

Devin has to get a new lead trainer. There were times he literally looked like he had no idea what to do in there. Bill wasn’t doing anything but telling him keep doing what he was doing.
Think he'd do well with Sugar Hill. Think he has to potential to put some more meat on his punches, a bit like Fury.

I'm telling y'all this fight wasn't a good look for Haney:yeshrug:

It's gonna have people side eyeing him
He already got the easiest route to undisputed, e-mail champ, now a controversial UD where MANY, even Shakur coming out saying Loma won.

He wanted validation from this fight but actually left the arena being despised even more by fans. :francis:

Definitely agree with this. He's fortunate that Loma didn't have power like that because he was getting caught too clean with a lot of those punches.

Go to r/boxing now to see hella tears. They MAD MAD
first post I see
they wanted the local young guy to win, so they can set up multiple more fights for him that loma won't do because of age

This was decided beforehand with the crooked judges, unless a ko happened haney must win the fight

how performed each one, didn't matter, Loma lost the fight many weeks ago in a closed room with briefcases full of money

I was pretty shocked he was letting Loma get so close to him so easily, but maybe he was doing some Ukrainian genjutsu with his footwork my feeble brain couldn't comprehend :hubie:

Stephen A fukked retarded, barely winning is a 7-5 score, hell 8-4 can be as well with swing rounds



Stephen A makes no sense. “Haney may have won” but says “there should not have been a 116-112 score or a 115-113 call”.

115-113 is as close as you could make it unless
you have an even round.

There were a lot of close rounds

this fight went how I thought it would go after going back and watching haneys last 5 fights.

he fought the wrong fought

I think he does a lot better in a rematch, but his lack of power really hurt him, the fact the he landed all them body shots and didnt slow Loma at all says a lot.
It says that Loma is on gear.
