Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Rips Lomachenko, Views Him As A "Skilled" But "Dirty" Fighter

[Deleted]

I wouldn't use the word "dirty", Loma is like say Hopkins. Once in fight mode, he's hyper focused and will walk the fine line..
Devin should stop with these interviews, he's really not helping himself. IMHO, this comment now gives a slight edge to Loma. You don't say this now unless you're worried ..so not 100% sure of himself.

I'd be interested to know of any specific examples that Haney has of Loma being dirty. I've always thought of Loma as a clean fighter.

Translation: Don't try to fight me when I hug you.

"don't rabbit punch me when I am hugging you and when I bend below waist height" and "don't low blow me when I'm looking to hug you"

Ridiculous lol refs need to start docking points from excessive clinchers like Haney.

I don't take Haney to seriously but he's on point on this one. I remember when Salido beat him, Loma and his fans bitc*** about how dirty Salido was, but Salido was just giving Loma a taste of his own medicine. If you can dish it out, take it like a man as well....

A taste of his own medicine? Salido was the one low blowing the entire fight. What are you talking about?

back in the 70s and 80s, they absolutely would have docked points for holding.

Recently saw a compilation of Haney’s hugs vs Kambosos. Haney is without a doubt a dirty fighter.

Yeah exactly. And old school fighters used to throw punches and weave on the inside, lean on each other, and masterfully fight through close range. A lost art for the most part that has been replaced by excessive clinching with 0 combat and refs doing nothing.

A fair fight? Sounds like pre-excuses to me

Yeah, I don't like when fighters start bitching and moaning before they even get in the ring with their opponent. What's that about? It sounds like Haney isn't sure of himself. I thought he'd have this fight in the bag, but now I'm not so sure.

How TF is Loma dirty? I’ve never heard that before, nor can I think of him doing anything dirty.

Fighting in the clinch?
