Haney vs Lomachenko, what is your prediction?

Experience and decent resume wins in this fight. Age can be transcended mentally. I'm not even sure if Haney would perform better than Jamaine Ortiz.

loma is 35 and should really be at 130. haney should really be at 140. look at them side by side and devin looks to be 2 weight classes bigger. he is going to jab and grab loma. he is going to pop shot him and hug him before loma can fire back and use his size to wear loma down and keep him hugged up. its going to be a borning **** fight. loma is clearly more skilled but this is going to be a stinker. haney aint going to just box him outside because there is still high risk he looses even at loma's advanced age. A great fighter can take away one weapon from another fighter. Loma is a great fighter. Haney has one weapons. A jab. A weapon that is notoriously ineffective against southpaws to begin with, just because of the lead hand vs lead hand mechanics and Haney has only fought one south paw. The clinching game is completely different as well, and Haney doesn't have the experience. Loma is quite good inside and has a good clench game, great defense, and movement. I think the real question mark in this fight is what does Haney have once Loma neutralizes his jab. It better be something good, or hes going to have a long long night. The real questions around how the fight play out are 1) How long will it take Loma to neutralize Haneys jab. 2) Does haney have any answers for when that eventually happens? If it takes too long for Loma to neutralize the jab, Haney can win a decision. If it doesn't, it seems unlikely Haney has an answer for a Loma that has taken away his only weapon. It will be nothing like the fight with Lopez, because Haney can't punch is way out of a wet paper bag, where as Lopez had some power to be weary of, so I expect Loma to get onto him much sooner.

Loma 11th rd stoppage

Haney missing weight... Man still looks huge.

Important thing is the fight is not a fantasy fight. It's happening. We'll soon see the result on the scheduled date. Yep. It's not fair to say fighter B beats fighter A in a fantasy fight. You don't have to be proven wrong because it's fantasy. It will never happen anyways. It's a 50/50 fight to me. That's what makes it interesting to watch.

I think Loma has got this in the bag.

Lomachenko is still a live dog and I believe he beats Haney. I'm on record giving credit to the winner. No excuses. I'll move on. Who is man enough to do the same? Important thing is the fight is not a fantasy fight. It's happening. We'll soon see the result on the scheduled date. What is past is past. I predict an UGLY fight due to Haney HOLDING.

Well, considering Salido barely laid a glove on him and Loma outboxed Lopez in several rounds with a bad shoulder...but if you are delusional enough to claim his fights are rigged, you aren't worth talking to. Seriously. Salido only landed 22% of his punches (142 total), and nearly half of them (67) were below the belt illegal punches that the ref decided to ignore repeatedly. Although if Loma beats Haney I don't think that should reflect poorly on Haney. He may not have the most fan friendly style, but he still dominated all comers till now, and I think only Tank and Shakur and Loma beat him. We'll see how Jamaine Ortiz and Frank Martin and Keyshawn shape out as their level of opposition comes. Lightweight is a pretty solid division right now, especially since the primadonnas have mostly gone to 140.

i think lomachenko wins this pretty easily, possibly by late stoppage. haney only has a jab and his john ruiz impersonation won't be effective against lomachenko. as long as lomachenko doesn't wait until the 2nd half of the fight to do something, he should win this

I genuinely don't know. I can imagine Haney winning behind that Klitschko jab and I can imagine Lomachenko winning if he actually fights like the Lomachenko we all know. Definitely a decision either way.

interesting theory, was the bobfather behind this? Who else!

Well, considering Salido barely laid a glove on him and Loma outboxed Lopez in several rounds with a bad shoulder...but if you are delusional enough to claim his fights are rigged, you aren't worth talking to. One thing I'd never let happening is become such a fanatic follower of a boxer that it blinds me from seeing what the actual truth is, saying that he outboxed Lopez with a bad shoulder shows how delusional you are. Let's say from round 7 or 8 Loma did more than in the previous rounds because he knew he was losing, but even in those rounds Lopez came back with the same or even more volume or punches. But I guess the "bad shoulder" excuse runs in the "rop rank" favorite excuse bloodline, that's what pacquiao used to say too. After haney whoops him use the good old "my calves were stiff" excuse..worked for pac. And I want to add one thing, if Loma did more with a "bad shoulder" in the late rounds, what stopped him from doing his "matrix" on Lopez in the previous rounds when his shoulder was ok?

haney UD i think its up to loma to come with a good game plan and on form to make it an exciting fight

Loma wins by UD.

Haney is fast starter so Loma has to try and bag a few of those early rounds and the second half is all Loma. Haney tends to fade as the fight gets into the deeper rounds. Being the bigger guy can have its advantages but it seems more detrimental and seems to have an affect on Haney's conditioning. i got Loma by split or late stoppage.

His "tippy tappy" footwork don't work on anyone half decent, where was his skill-set against Salido or in recent fights against Lopez? He can do all that stuff against someone who let's him do it, but you'll see none of that will be visible against Haney because like I said it only works when the opponent let's him dance around him, that's why I think that most of his fights were rigged but that's a different topic.

Loma will expose Haney ......loma has the angles , the skill and his unique style will cause Haney all kinds of troubles and I see loma also having power when both are in that ring....for sure if Haney comes through and beats loma then we can safely say he really is the real deal. I think loma wins this

The skills edge is hugely in Loma's favor. His "tippy tappy" footwork don't work on anyone half decent, where was his skill-set against Salido or in recent fights against Lopez?

Loma will win, but will he get the decision? That is another story. Who of the 2 will bring more money to the d a m ned boxing Gods?
