Comments Thread For: Haney Tells Lomachenko He 'Wants To Make It A Dirty Fight; You Know That's Your Best Bet'

[Butt stuff]

Over the past 18 years I have been an active member of this forum, I have rarely posted...

But this **** is ridiculous on the part of the Haney's..
♂️

Agreed. I like Haney and found it a really bizarre comment, until another poster pointed out that they’re trying to get the referee to prevent any inside fighting by planting seeds in his mind.

"some chance" ? i dont understand what do you mean " some chance" ?
Do you mean Loma has not much of a chance ?
Do you think that Hiney is more prepared then Loma ?
"some chance" i do not know this some chance you speak of my friend.
Is this an American you say thing about no chance ?
Who you think i come to fight to loose ? "Some Chance"
i come to fight not with words but within the ring there i do my talking.
"some chance" Saturday night you see what "some chance" look like my friend...........

he didn't say some chance - learn how to read. He said he has some confidence in Lomachenko

Haney is saying the same thing NSB posters argued should be used to beat Floyd- make it a dirty fight, do whatever it takes.

Now all the sudden it is unfair to do whatever it takes to win.

lmfao.

you are one of the few NSB posters still here from the Floyd 'era' - but leave it you to insert Floyd in a thread that is nothing about him - get out of yur time warp - Floyd has gone - long time ago - this is a new era, new fighters, you can dust all those chips off your shoulders now and enjoy the new fighters in this new era

I made a fair and rational point based on being here a long time as you said.

You can’t dispute the point made- that posters have shifted when it comes to using dirty tactics to win a fight.

I don't know if Haney actually believes Loma is a dirty fighter or he's just trying to get in his head but it's a silly thing to do, especially considering A: Loma is NOT a dirty fighter, B: Haney IS a dirty fighter and C: Loma doesn't even know what you're talking about half the time.
I really hope Haney gets taught a lesson. I don't mind that he's a boring, defence first fighter, that's his style, fine but to call Lomachenko dirty is disrespectful and not even remotely accurate.

They say Haney is only 2 inches taller than Loma but unless Haney is wearing lifts or heels he's much more than 2 inches taller!

You also inserted your lover Floyd just like the man said.

You Floyd boys I guess can cherrypick vicariously through Hany and Davis

so hitting your opponent in the chest with your head isn't headbutting?

You're being intentionally dumb now. I clearly said pushing off of his chest with his head to create space to punch out. You understood, but you want to win your silly argument by strawmanning mine.

I’m going to go out on a limb here again and say that I think Loma wins this fight and makes it look easy in the process. Haney’s comments are so ridiculous it’s actually quite difficult to figure out the motive behind them as nothing really makes a huge amount of sense.

Everyone knows Loma isn’t a dirty fighter, who’s he trying to fool?? The guy had 396 amateur fights and is a double Olympic champion and was the fastest 2 division champion in history. Why would he need to resort to dirty tactics to win fights? clearly he’s a highly skilled fighter. Way more of a complete fighter than Haney.

Even reverse psychology makes no sense. For Haney to consider fighting dirty he’d need to be comfortable up close and he’s just not, even remotely. He has zero inside game and gets clipped if he stays too long in the pocket as despite being skilled he’s not what i’d consider a natural. His movement is learnt and doesn’t flow like other fighters. It’s staccato and revolves around his jab. Not impressed by his combination punching at all. He’s nice and loose but his coordination is vaguely clumsy and it shows now and then particular in his defence up close.

Even an old Loma will exploit all that easily. Only reason he took a while with Lopez was due to Lopez’s fast twitch power which Haney hasn’t got. Haney is going to struggle to keep Loma at range and he’s going to get clipped up close as Loma had the skills to stop him clinching as much as his footwork and lateral movement up close is second to none apart from perhaps Inoui and Morrell at the moment and that’s only down to age. Loma inside the distance for me.

Gotta give Haney props to give amateur loma a shot at the titles, I mean we're talking about a guy who's only had 19 fights and he already suffered 2 defeats BuT hIs AmAtEuR ReCoRd iS GrEaT......OK
