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

[Bronx23]

Let’s just pray Kenny Bayless isn’t the ref. Dude allows zero inside fighting & will break the action the second somebody (Devin) clinches. He’s been horrible for years now.

He’d be great for Haney horrible for Loma

Still waiting for the explanation on how Loma is a dirty fighter, and how he knows he is training for a dirty fight. This said, Haney's best wins are against a faded and close to retirement Linares, who still managed to rock him, and a limited Jojo Diaz. Now how is he considered one of the best 135 is beyond me. What an era...

When he gets the job against Loma. Surely he will go up in your estimation if he beats Loma without any controversy?

For sure. I remember the referee in the Pedraza fights motioning to him to stop the rabbit punching.. even dropped Pedraza with a rabbit punch which wasn’t scored a KD. He punches a-lot on the break too. Certain fans have an extremely weird obsession Loma.. he’s like their king. Anything negative said they immediately attack the other fighter

There is a lot of tribalism here and not just for or against guys like Loma. I already know before certain people post who they are going to be for and against. Many on here like or despise fighters of certain color and nationality. It never ends.

"Now, with the tables turned, Haney is frabjous over his recent accomplishment."

Callooh! Callay! Boxing Scene using nonesense words in a nonesense way.

This particular writer is terrible. I think he must write his piece and then go through and use a thesaurus to replace random words with bigger ones because he thinks it will make him sound smarter. Unfortunately, since he doesn't actually understand the nuances in those words, he frequently misuses them, which just makes him sound like a bombastic idiot.

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

Fighting in the clinch?

Your guess is as good as mine. I truly don’t understand the comment. Maybe he doesn’t like Loma’s angles and deems it dirty. I still Fancy Haney to pull it off though

[GhostofDempsey]

Notice the weight bully wasn't specific about what dirty tactics he actually employs. It will be interesting to see who the ref will be and how he will ref this fight.

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....

Wtf r u sayin. Salido was his 2nd fight

My guess is that he's complaining in advance about how Loma tends to either try to pull free and drop his weight on the opponent's biceps or else rough them up in the clinch, even though that's way more what they're supposed to do (fight their way out). Haney does love to hug and rest when he gets on the inside. Probably the biggest weakness in his game. But clinching is actually closer to being dirty than fighting from the clinch. I wish he wasn't doing this. Makes him look weak, and there is already all kinds of narrative around this fight trying to devalue one fighter or the other. One of the best technical fights to be had in the division, outside of Shakur fighting the winner.

They're trying to get you excited for the fight, guys.

[Kzbox]

I used to like Haney but he seems arrogant lately hopefully Loma humbles him he's talking out his arse here in what way is Loma dirty he didn't even explain it.
