I can understand an off night after coming outta hell, straight into the ring.
      He was 36 in 2014 and fought 4 fights by 38 and only because he had a contract with Showtime for big money. Prior to that he was 1x/year.

      As you get older, it's literally common knowledge to fight once a year. Your body heals so much slower and being too active puts on unnecessary miles. Training camps are extremely grueling.

          I never once said Joshua was ATG or even HOF. Unlike most of Golovkin and Loma fans.

            It dont matter what age he started. He said loma fighting at 135 is like floyd fighting at 160 or ward fighting at heavyweight. He compared a 9 pound jump to a 25 to 30 pound jump.

            It's not comparable. It's was a terrible analogy.

              the blue print was out there to just outwork loma, now when he was younger and at lower weights guys wouldnt open up as easily on him because they were afraid of counters but at 135 there are guys willing to eat a counter if needed, they arent afraid of his shots at 135 anymore.
              Wow,who would've thought fighters start taking advantage of an undersized and aged fighter in the twilight of thier career like Loma?! All his haters coming out of the woodwork saying "see I told you so" has been like 5yrs in the making,especially Tank fans,and now we are here lol.

              Did everyone just gloss over the disparity in size between Haney and Loma? Size matters. If it didn't,Tank would have no issues fighting Ryan at 140 like he did Barrios.

                no these young guys like Teofimo and Jermaine Ortiz are very talented and they can match his Athleticism so all that Matrix stuff if you notice is not as effective vs Someone as Athletic and as good of Footwork

                Also too I notice it is this little DIP that Teofimo kept doing and even Jermaine Ortiz did it last night, when they did it for some reason...Loma would back out and reset it is very interesting but not everybody can pick up on stuff like that you have to know WTF you're watching

                Father Time haven't come to pick up Loma just yet, that could've been him getting some rust off because he did come on late so he will be at his best vs Haney BUT Haney is taking this one very Personal thanks to people like Paulie and you fans who continue to Tea Bag Loma while continuing to discredit and downplay Haney Accomplishments. Kid is Undisputed at 23 and some fans and especially ESPN treat him like he is still a contender trying to work his way up

                  They are not matching his athleticism or skill lol. They're able to overcome the skill disparity because of the size advantage they hold. Why couldn't Russell,Walter's and Rigo who were just as,if not more skilled than guys like Teo and Ortiz just do the same then??

                    Naw they matched his Athleticism for sure all the fancy Footwork they was able to do all that right with Loma, maybe not the Skill true indeed but they was able to move just as quick and as well. Damn we can't even give credit to his opponents for being able to move as well as he did

                    by the way Russell Jr is still one of Loma's toughest fight that wasn't easy and yes Gary was able to match the athleticism in fact he was Faster than Loma BUT Loma beat him with Timing
