Just realized part of the reason he was crying so hard was because he probably felt he let his country down.

thank you. Lomachenko is not no Ryan Garcia. Lomachenko is not no Yoshino or Yigit.
Literally no one else at 135 has done shyt at LW. Havent fought for a belt, havent fought a former champion, havent fought a p4p or an elite opponent.
Shakur literally just got to 135 and fought some nobody, and Tank just knocks out random flawed mexicans for pleasure and enjoyment. All while Devin has been taking the risks and bringing structure to the division, while gaining REAL experience. He's been places that the rest of them havent, and that means something.
These dudes think Boxing is WWE or some shyt where popularity makes you a better fighter.
I'm glad someone sees it.
Tank easily passes the eye test but who has he actually fought? Where are his 50/50 fights or a fight against an elite talent?
Devin has beat Kambosos and now Loma to be undisputed yet wins against Garcia and Romero have elevated Tank to God status somehow
People complain that fighters want to coast to keep their 0 and wont fight elite fighters but reward this shyt.
I think Shakur and Tank beat him and always have but the disrespect Haney gets is ridiculous. If the World was to stop tomorrow, the Resumes for certain guys look spooky.

Tank is more technical than people think with him being a KO artist, and he is great counter puncher. I don't see Haney out boxing him

Do Better.
Glad they did the right thing and not rob Haney.

Do Better.
We'll seeAnd when devin stepped in the ring with him it could have gone either way....people are saying devin better not step in the ring with tank or shakur after this fight instead of the opposite

nikka saying 115-113 good but 116-112 a travesty 
It’s only a 1 round difference…
Loma wasn’t doing shyt but doing little flutters to try and steal the round.

People question the 116-112 card because the judge gave haney a round he clearly lost to get that score.nikka saying 115-113 good but 116-112 a travesty

Man, I have a lot of respect for Loma as a BOXING fan that really doesn’t approach the sport on some tribalism shyt (most times). People say he’s a sore loser, but boxing is full of that. shyt, boxing is full of sore winners. Most men as competitive as these dudes are cannot accept or admit another man bested them, so it’s always going to be the gloves were rigged, I had a bad camp, the weight cut fukked me up, my mental health wasn’t right, etc.
Back to Loma, here’s a dude that’s outsized in every fight at 135. When he was the A-side I never heard no shyt about you can’t wear a certain glove, the ring has to be a certain size, you can’t rehydrate past this weight, catchweights, I need to approve of the ref, no judges from this or that country, etc. He’s taken on big punchers, movers, counter-punchers, and so forth. He’s never hid from any style of fighter. When he was healthy and younger, he fought two or three times a year. He just believes even at your absolute best, he’s going to hand you a fade. I wish more high level fighters had similar unwavering belief in their ability. We’d get great matches more often and the sport would move a lot faster.
Shot-out to Haney too because he didn’t have to take this fight. Loma is a tough and prideful dude. While I think criticisms of Haney’s power, tactics, etc., are fair, the overall critiques of his performance has been kinda unfair—and to me—stems from this believe some had that Haney was going to easily outclass Loma, which was never going to happen—even to a shopworn Loma. I think this will ultimately be a beneficial experience for him in terms of development.
