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

[Astroslik]

Everything since the weigh-in push has become a blessing in disguise for Devin. He's officially in that bad guy spot where people will be frothing at the mouth to see him lose. Went from being the "boring" guy/e-mail champ to a dude everyone is talking about. A rematch would definitely do numbers. He comes out of that clean and a Tank or Shakur fight would be even bigger.

He can become super rich if he embraces the heel role

That isn’t ducking. It’s the same stuff any fighter with the juice pulls. Mayweather chased down De La Hoya and Shane Mosley and they were curving him. I don’t consider them ducks . Keith Thurman is another example with Errol Spence.

Anyone saying he ducked Loma should put their money on Loma or Haney to beat Tank then. If those fights materialize. I’m still going to be a fan.

nikka you the one that pushed him in the first place

Its a duck, my guy. In 2016, Tank had no juice. The by-line on the headline from 2018 even says they're gonna "build" Tank at their own pace. He ducked.....FOR YEARS! Devin's younger than Tank was when he was being "built" to avoid Loma. Tell your boy to grow a pair.

You're really trying to give someone that popped dirty credit for being a live body? HE didn't even believe in his own self, and yet here you are trying to shoehorn him in as a credible opponent on Loma's level.

im asking an honest question calm down

Gold teeth, diamond chains, and dikkie suits are not appeasing to white people. Devin was trying to get embraced by hip-hop and the hood. It didn’t work. Being hated by white people serves him well.

Here’s the conundrum. Once he loses, it’s over. Floyd Mayweather was supremely and otherworldly gifted and never gave them the satisfaction so they kept coming back for more. Haney isn’t gifted. Despite my comments in this thread, I don’t hate Devin. It’s his fans who I had to deal with about their false narratives of someone ducking him and that he was better than Tank. As a ‘casual’, I followed and knew about Devin before most people. I was an avid fan of his. I knew him before I knew Tank. As he started to fight better competition, I was able to better assess his skills and he’s limited. Devin got the win, Loma was overrated and I’m on record IRL saying that, but his fans aren’t as confident in that Tank fight anymore.

I’m just trolling on here.

Actually, I believe most fans are more confident in that Tank fight now. The guy with the lowest punch output in boxing who doesn't utilize feints and angles will get his offense sniffed out all night. We watched actual 130lb fighters come up to fight him and he didn't buzz saw them. He wasn't in Hector's chest from the opening bell. He wasn't in Leo's chest from the opening bell. You're mistaken if you think he's gonna press Devin out. Tank will sit there and get touched up all night and yall will come on here and whine that Devin "ran" instead of standing there like Tank's other flat footed opponents waiting on Tank to hit them.

Most on-code people would be up in arms about a young brother getting his pockets ran for $400k for doing something all boxers do. Some rather respond like you did.....

 

[Derek Lee]

$400,000???
I bet Clenelo got fined zilch for the push and slapping Plant's face

But he’s being called out with no juice.

While the undisputed lightweight champion is auditioning for him.

I am not going to argue any of that sh*t.

If that’s what you believe then believe, little guy.
