Loma´s skills are undeniable and his resume is ridiculous having just 19 fights, but he really is a 34 yo 130 lber fighting 25 yo 135 lbers. Father Time will soon step in and retire Loma.
I hear a lot of people talking about this fight as if it wasn’t a fairly dominant performance by Loma. Yes, Ortiz was moving great and found ways to neutralize Loma’s preternatural ability to create angles. Yes, Ortiz used his offense as a great means of defense to keep Loma more at bay than we’ve seen in the past. And yes, Ortiz appeared to touch Loma more than we’re used to. Overall, Ortiz appeared to be do well but appearances don’t win you fights. Those touches — that’s all they were. I don’t know that a truly hard, clean punch got through at all for Ortiz and meanwhile, Loma landed what I estimate to be 15-20 clean, hard punches. Loma did all the damage.
Lomachenko fought ortiz who is a much better fighter than the kambosos that haney beat i'm pretty sure even ortiz would beat haney because ortiz is lomachenko's former sparing partner and lomachenko took the fight with ortiz to prepare to face a big weight drainer in haney because ortiz is not bad in the same size rehydrate
Let's be honest, Lomo has always been kind of a hypejob. He looked like garbage and got a gift decision. He's washed now, can no longer pull the trigger, can't fight for a full 3 minutes, and was constantly holding to try to slow the action.
117-111 and 116-112 tells me the scorecards were pre-filled out before the fight. How much did Lyin' Bob pay off the judges to preserve the cash out fight with Haney?
Haney looked huge next to lil Lomo and would absolutely annihilate him. Easy UD. If Haney could punch Lomo would be in a world of hurt. I have my doubts Lomo even takes that fight now.
At this point, I'm not so sure Lomo gets in the HOF or even gets to 20 wins before calling it a day.
Perhaps you can explain the “hype” you are talking about. When was the last time you hear hype about him? It has been ages for me. Some folks said he was the second coming a long time ago and now if he is not perfect, everyone feels the need to say mean things about him. Wow
imagine if lomachenko would have done a masterclass in front of haney in the crowd he would have scared haney with the jaw of glass like usik did also with dereck chirosa this show vulnerable for the joshua fight to happen and then he showed his talent
Crazy how narratives work in boxing. Just last week everyone was claiming Haney was going to duck Loma.....now everyone is saying Haney is too big for Loma.
I want to like Devon Haney. He’s got incredible boxing skills. But he doesn’t have the “it” factor. Zero personality. Zero charisma. He doesn’t draw me in. I can see why he’s hard to promote.
Everyone is going to be gunning for loma now especially taller fighters in particular garcia & haney though i could finally see mayweather giving tank the ok for the fight. Interesting to see where loma goes next all are lucrative
Lomo never wanted to fight Haney why you think he took the franchise
