Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Manager: We're Gonna Ask The Referee To Look Into [Haney's] Holding

[4truth]

If Haney gets a warning early, I'd say Loma's chances improve a great deal. In fact I'd change my prediction if that happens

Right, very submissive but different cultures I guess. They need to make a huge stink about this to pressure the ref into doing his job when Haney starts holding for dear life.

Couldn’t have said it better
Chit like that really needs to be made a huge stink
Make sure everyone around hears you and that the ref is gonna have to explain to many ears if he doesn’t do his job
But I am under the impression that Loma will be to slippery for Haney to hold
And he’ll get some shots off that wouldn’t be there
The only thing is , Loma gonna have to make it dirty to get away with it

"Nevada resident repeatedly stated that Lomachenko’s game plan is predicated on hitting Haney after Dock calls for breaks when they’re tied up"

So in other words; I'm gonna hug and I don't want him hitting me when i do it.

The holding in the Kessler fight was stunningly bad... along with the blatant head butts. Stopped being a fan and never liked ref Jack Reiss after that as well. I don't think he issued a single warning all fight.

I never followed or watched boring, stinky Ward's career at 168, just the fights he had with Kova at 175. But I'm not surprised in the least, the huggers are ruining the sport.

Loma was just scared. Haney's hugging was very minimal compared to mayweather.

Wrestling on the inside is aspect of rough house fighting.

Lomachenko is a good inside fighter, so? He should be able to tackle this.

All the referee can do is instruct the fighters to break, tell them to fight their way out or stop the action.

Lomachenko should of trained & prepared to fight his way out, of a clinch or wrestling situation etc.
