Loma is going to whoop Haney

[Dakuwaqa]

I must have missed something. When did Haney become this master boxer and distance controller?

He isn’t.

Nobody sees this. For some reason they think he's "slick" and he's far from it. People are gonna be surprised how easily Loma pulls away late & if Devin is still dipping to his right instead of moving his head he might catch a left hook & goodnight.

Nope I don’t see it. I’ve seen Loma throw every shot in the book and his opponents are still standing. If your fitness is sub par then Loma generally overwhelms his opponents.
Contrary to popular belief Loma too is easy to hit especially if you can match his pace and you are rangy.. I’m not talking rangy and one dimensional like Nakatani. For what it’s worth Loma should be fighting at 130 so he should be commended for competing a weight class above his natural weight.. I believe his best days are behind him. However, if I’m wrong I’m wrong I don’t care who wins although I’m still bitter towards Loma when I bet on him to beat López.

Yeah a Loma KO victory is a definite possibility

I believe they could fight 20 rounds and there wouldn’t be a KO. Possibly a knockdown but both are not blessed with power although admittedly Haney’s chin doesn’t look to sturdy

Haney is pretty easy to hit cleanly.

Of course he is ,everyone of his opponents clip him in fights, plus when I watch boxing on my 65 inch TV ,sitting in my pants on the couch I see so many openings for me to exploit if I was in the ring at that given time

[Str8.2.Da.Point]

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.

Easier said than done.... Not many can brag about landing combinations on Loma..... I honestly don't see Haney winning this fight unless Father Time really kicks Loma's ass before fight night......Loma's footwork alone will force Haney in situations he don't want to be in.

[Str8.2.Da.Point]

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.

Loma leaves himself open for the straight right hand?..... Are you serious?.....lol.

People are trying to over analyze this fight..... It's hilarious...... The hard truth is...... Father Time has to whip on Loma for Haney to win this fight....PERIOD. Loma showed ring rust in his last fight and now people are suggesting he isn't the same guy anymore.......We won't know for sure until fight night.

[Str8.2.Da.Point]

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

You are talking like Ortiz by suggesting Loma "struggled" to close the gap.... Even though that's totally false as Loma pressed him early and often. Hurt him in the 3rd and had his eye swollen by the end of the 4th. And Haney doesn't showcase the same footwork and angles in his attack as Ortiz.

Haney will be touched early and often due to his lack of pop in his punches. It will be up to him to make adjustments against a vet like Loma. Teo on his best night still had a point in the night where as Loma was able to show out on him for 4 rounds straight...... Haney will have his hands full. Trying to discredit Loma's effectiveness because of his first fight after fighting for his country vs a talented contender is laughable.

Haney seems very one dimensional. But maybe he will surprise us.

Not this rambling lunatic…

He repeatedly struggled to close the gap vs Ortiz. Haney has far better footwork than Ortiz too.

Loma is a step slower than he once was. He won’t be able to get into range often enough to win a decision.

Haney by UD. I’m actually rooting for Loma but I just can’t see it.

Haney is pretty flat-footed. Hasn't been hard for opponents to get close to him.
