    Loma is going to whoop Haney

    Haney is a flawed fighter. Flashy but doesn’t put it together quite right.

    Loma won’t be tentative as Haney isn’t a big puncher. He’ll take away his jab and batter him late.

    The odds are good. I got 11/5

    It's a possibility. Haney is a jab and grab fighter. Worked well against Kambosos and old Gamboa. Mostly worked against worn down Linares. Was a real struggle against fat featherweight Diaz.

    Haney needs to throw more than one at a time. If he just jabs and waits for a right hand, Lomachenko will attack with impunity.

      I am a huge Loma fan boy I even put some money on him because of the odds but I still expect Haney to win. Loma just doesn't have his old gas tank or reflexes anymore

        He seems to have a better gas tank than Haney.

          Haney has an advantage in size. He looks like a middleweight next to Loma. If he takes advantage of it, he has a good chance. As far as everything else, I am putting my money on Loma

            Truthfully I hope it’s a good fight. Loma of years ago, forget about it. He still has a very good chance though. If he can utilize his footwork and angles, he might test Haney’s chin. Haney is a great fighter, I just question his chin.

              Haney is a large LW. He'll pack on at least 20 pounds on fight night. I can't see Loma hurting him. Haney is a good counter puncher and Loma leaves himself open for the straight right hand. If Loma isn't his old slippery self for a full 12 rounds, or he only fights half a fight like he did with Teo, he's not going to win. He needs to fight a perfect fight for the full 12.

                Not really. JoJo had him bothered. Haney rarely counterpunches, he potshots. Haney is pretty easy to hit, so Lomachenko doesn't have to be great to beat him.

                  Haney definitely has flaws but to be able to exploit them you need to be able to close the gap. A 35 year old Loma isn’t closing that gap, he struggled to close the gap against Jamaine Ortiz.

                  Haney by UD is a very safe bet IMO

                    This fight is not easy to assess the fact that there's nothing much to go on with Haney's skimpy resume
                    other than his win against Kambosos and Diaz. He didn't fight Commey, Pedraza, Nakatani, Lopez, etc.

                    Only thing fans can talk about is his big advantage in size and his dangerous prime.
                    If that is the case, then he has to win by KO. What is such advantage there for?
                    You can't beat Loma by points. He lost 7 rounds in the Teo fight and some fans still say it's actually a draw.
                    If Haney can't KO Loma, then there's a chance Haney could end up getting KO'd himself or by stoppage.
