Haney vs Lomachenko, what is your prediction?

[Bullrider]

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 hope Loma wins but i see Haney jab and hug for 12 rounds to UD. And honestly i have no problem with that style, it's boring for sure but he wins fight with that style and it's his job. It's a chessmatch like the poster says

I have no problem with the size advantage as 5'7" Loma is not new with the opponent being bigger. Ortiz, 5'8" is the same size as Haney, except Haney has longer reach. Commey is the same size, 5'8". Campbell is 5'9", Nakatani is 5'11".

I still go with Loma, regardless of age difference.

The reality is that this is a difficult fight for both. Make no mistake about it. This is going to be harder than Teofimo and a harder fight than Linares for Haney. Lopez was there to be hit. Haney is better at controlling distance. Plus, Haney has improved quite a bit from that JoJo fight. I saw all the improvements. He's got a nice feint game going on now. I believe that's credit to Mickey Bey. Bey has a lot of little tricks and pro moves, and after Haney paired up with Bey, I saw some changes. Haney's feint game combined with his jab is what really ruined Kambosos. (Ironically, they looked like mirror images of each other, except that Haney is better at controlling the distance and doesn't get stuck on the front foot like Kambosos.)

However, Loma will be able to take away Haney's jab. I have very little doubt about that. Haney's only fought one southpaw in his pro career, and JoJo out-jabbed Haney. Soviet boxing relies heavily on the jab, so Loma is very adept at taking jabs away. So with Haney's jab not being able to control the fight like he likes or is used to is going favor Loma in this. The difficulty for Loma is to consistently close the distance, collapse the pocket. That's tiring. So if Haney is able to keep taking that half-step and makes Loma work for it, then that'll be a problem for Loma. Plus Haney has good punch selection (which makes up for his bad punch technique).

If Loma can keep the same work rate he had with Ortiz, then he can pull out the later rounds because he definitely can gas out Haney. If you watch the back half of fights for him, he starts getting hit clean because he slows down.

So basically it'll be whoever can enforce his will and stick to the plan. Loma will have to start strong and keep that pace up. He's going to have to bully Haney. Haney is going to have to do everything to prevent Loma from closing the gap and tie him up if he does. Clearly the tie up is going to be critical for Haney's success, and because of that, the referee will be a factor in the fight. I'll have a better idea when I know who the ref will be, but right now, I think that Loma can win this by close decision or majority decision. I think Haney doesn't do as well with southpaws as he does with orthodox fighters, and I think that the weight cut is going to be rough and leave him gassed in the back half.

TL;DR: The fight will be competitive for the first half, and then Loma will create separation in the back half. Loma by close UD or MD. It might even be by split decision.

Either can and don't care who wins. Although if i had to choose one who i want to win, i think maybe Loma. Haney i think even if he wins will move up he is def a 140 fighter in the near future. So that's why i say Loma, he won't go to 140 to small for it, so if he gets the belts at 135 and wins we can see some more exciting match ups in that division. Whereas if he loses people will jist **** on him and then if he fights Tank or Shakur at 135 after won't been seen as big of a fight than if he did win Haney.

But at the same time i don't rate Kambosos as elite, Loma i do so if Haney wins Loma that is a big name for his resume so that would be good to

We all ready win with the fight happening.

Garcia Tank also a great fight
Taylor Teo also one of the ones ill be looking forward to if confirmed.

Hopefully the 2nd half of the year we see some more big fights at 135-140

Haney UD is a safe bet I think.

Loma ain’t closing the gap.

Wow! Loma almost a 2:1 dog.
