Comments Thread For: Arum On Loma: People Are Crazy; You See One Medicore Performance & They Write The Guy Off

[Jayallday9]

Arum is right, Haney will not walk over Loma and I bet Ortiz would be hell for the other fighters. Haney will likely win but will have to really dig deep

Arum is such a terrible promoter. He just called his guy mediocre. dude that is your guy promote him. This is like when crawford was losing him money, he was openly telling the public crawford is losing him money, he just doesnt give a **** anymore.

I agree. Any athlete has bad days but in boxing you're only as good as your last fight. That's a misconception in this case. Lomachenko is only 34, never been hurt in the ring and has astronomical boxing skills plus power and athleticism. With his attributes, the weight and size difference won't be as much of a factor as people think and he will definitely do a number on Haney coming saturday night.

If vintage Loma comes out I agree this will be over before it begins. He has a sneaky pressure and most fighters have an impossible time controlling his style. Only fight night will tell which Loma shows up. If he has that continuous pressure we all are used to I don’t believe Huggies will handle it well. One thing is certain, Loma will not respect him any any way when it comes to power.

This is what I am hoping for. Haney has the edge on paper but Loma is a better, more complete fighter IMO.

He's right about the relative preparation. Also, Loma is 35 not 40 - he shouldn't be too old yet. Hanye 5'8 and has some reach advantage, but Loma only a bit shorter at 5'7. Also Loma is a far better boxer based off the fights I've seen. I make Loma favourite and will be putting my money on him.

0% chance Haney get the KO, but he could get the borefest decision if Loma starts slow again.

Experience will be a factor for Lomachenko. He's fought probably every style imaginable, including grapplers. I expect him to dominate at close range IF he can work his way inside. I think Loma will target the body early to weaken Haney for the later rounds.
