I see Haney continues to say this, but I've watched Loma since his pro debut and never thought of him as a dirty fighter. Anyone have any specific examples?
Lomachenko dirty fighter?

Haney is just angling. He wants to put it in people's minds that this is true. He'll be singing this to Harvey Dock before the fight. I don't think it will help him, however. I think Loma has been around long enough that people are aware. Harvey Dock lets guys fight out of the clinch, so Haney's been saying this because he was hoping to get a ref who'd break it up right away.
He wasn't so lucky with Harvey. To be honest, it makes Haney sound weak. -
Cypo beat me to the punch. Guys will do this to “plant a seed” in the refs/judges minds. It’s not news that Devin loves to clinch, and Loma is good in the clinch/breaks free and hits on the break. If he got someone like Kenny, this would have worked perfectly.Comment

Pot calling the kettle black, he’s projecting. If boxing rules were enforced, Haney would’ve already gotten multiple point deductions for excessive clinching. If anything it should be Loma blowing this up to make ref do his job when Wlad Jr starts holding.Comment

No, No clue where Haney even got that from I guess it is Mind Games, Haney is weak on the inside he doesn't have a inside game at all so maybe he is saying that so that the Ref can save him from having to fight on the inside
Loma is nasty on the inside, if you grab him he will get rough and try to break free AS HE SHOULD that doesn't make him "Dirty"Last edited by sicko; 05-16-2023, 11:14 PM.Comment

in the 12th round against Lopez, when Lopez was getting the best of lomachenko knocking him around and hurting him (with 40 seconds left in the round), he tried multiple times to headbutt him and succeeded. I saw this fight live like most of you and I said it on fight night. It's those dirty headbutt tricks that Andre Ward, Hopkins, and Holyfield used for years to catch someone coming in to make it look like an accident. Before he fought Rigo, he asked the ref backstage(and it's on camera) if he could headbutt Rigo to get distance from clinching. He literally asked if he could put his head in his chest to pull back. WTF. and everyone on this site defended it!!!!!! Loma is dirty as *** and sneaky with it.Comment
