Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Siding With Devin Haney: "He'll Beat Lomachenko Handily"

[War Room]

The problem is Haney has no pop. Lomachenko will get inside and there Haney is nothing special. His jab and keeping distance won’t help when it’s hooking range. Lopez has power and this kept Lomachenko shy enough to get the UD.

Haney couldn’t dent Linares to save his life and he did the chicken dance that night. Linares is the best Haney has faced and Lomachenko outclassed Linares clearly.

Haney’s hope is that Loma is indeed getting old and his last fight was not just a bad fight. Otherwise it is KO win for the Ukrainian.

Well that's the understatement of the year. Which is the reason for the delay and why there has been no announcement date for the fight because someone is scurrrred!

Top Rank is clinging onto those titles at this point. They are not letting Haney leave their company with those belts. Team Haney may have to sue by taking Top Rank to court in order to get out of that contract.

Haney will win because Loma will not punch first 6 rounds

Haney will DOMINATE Loma. Too many fighters have seen the blueprint on Loma AND he's getting punished alot more in fights. To think at one time Loma wanted to fight Mayweather.....

OK, I'm tempted to put £50 on Loma just on the grounds that everything Eddie Hearn knows about boxing could be written on an acorn, by a squirrel with dyspraxia, using a large felt-tip.

A younger, bigger, rangier, faster fighter would be expected to beat an older, smaller, less rangier, and now slower fighter. And there is nothing wrong with a fighter having lofty goals. He wanted to fight Pac too. Thats what ambitious fighters do.

Reminds me of my favorite sayings when I run across some idiot driver on the road. I tell my wife "that guy's brain is so small you could stuff it up an ants ass and it would roll around like a BB in a boxcar". LOL.

All I will say is “PUT UP YOUR BETTING SLIPS” if you truly think he will handily beat Loma. The guy isn’t what he once was but he ain’t facing a monster either. This is a pick ‘em fight, based on what Lomachenko has left not how good Haney is and that speaks volumes.

I think Loma will need a performance for the ages to beat Haney. Can he produce one against a very skilled, bigger man, ten years his junior?

[Monty Fisto]

Hard to call. Loma is old for the light weight classes and has looked in decline in recent years. At the same time, Haney doesn't have much power and so it becomes a contest of skill, speed and technique. Haney has him beaten for speed. Loma for skill and technique. If Haney wins, I doubt it will be 'handily'.
