Comments Thread For: Arum: Date For Haney-Loma Is Pretty Well Set (May 20); Issue Is Where It's Gonna Be

Sort of surprised that Haney has agreed to that date.

Not me, Haney has been wanting to fight Loma for years. It's just sad that even as the undisputed champion he has to take a backseat to what Loma wants.

The Ramadan thing is a non issue. ******s who do not fast during Ramadan can make it up at a later time according to my practicing ****** family and friends

I hope Haney hires the best dietician and has the best camp of his life. I want him to beat the brakes of Loma so badly he retires from boxing.

That ain't no Saudi fight. They are after big fights. Fury and AJ are big names. Haney and Loma are not. For regular boxing fans yeah

So Bivol vs Zurdo was a big fight?

I knew that Bob would bend to Loma's wishes over his undisputed champion, Haney. More motivation for Haney to put the beats on him. Devin begged for March, but I'm just glad that its going to happen. Man, Arum loves him some Loma.

Let's be real: Haney is not truly a TR fighter, and TR cannot really take credit for him. Haney was simply a valuable pawn in the rivalry between TR/Dibella and Matchroom. Matchroom was gradually building Haney, and they probably bid on Lopez/Kambosos with the hopes that they could match the winner with Haney. My interpretation of the situation was that Dibella found a way to stick the knife into Hearn by signing Haney to a less-than-ideal contract and taking the Haney/Kambosos match-up to TR/ESPN. Haney turned the tables by decisively beating Kambosos twice.

My point is...TR's ***els are Stevenson and Lomachenko, not Haney. If it ever appears like Arum is favoring them over Haney, it shouldn't be a surprise.

Makes two of us, if Haney has a 10 week camp. Week 3-6 will be during ramadan, which will hinder his training quality id imagine, maybe he know his body well enough to predict his last 4 weeks of camp would get him strong enough to be ready for a 12 round fight. Props to Haney, he is the real deal as when the options are stacked against him he bets on himself to pull through.

I was hoping that Devin gave Bob and Loma the same treatment they gave him. If I was president of Team Haney I would not fight Loma just for payback. But I an an azzhole tho hahaha

Haney only signed with Top Rank to assure himself of the fight of the winner of Lopez-Kambosas. He took a garbage contract, which Bob knew that he would, due to the circumstances, but once he won TWICE for undisputed, its really disrespectful for Arum to favor Loma's wishes over Haney's.

That's not the issue, its the fact that Haney is the undisputed champion under Top Rank, but Arum appeased Loma and shxt on Devin. His request wasn't unreasonable, both of them fought in October, and he asked for March, which is almost 6 months.
