Comments Thread For: Lomachenko After Haney's Hard Shove At Weigh-In: Now He's Mine; He's Scared

[Sosay]

I see a lot of you have never fought. It's a mental thing and hard to hold back when you're ready to fight. They shouldn't touch each other but it happens and isn't a big deal. Loma could be right, sometimes it's mental but it may just be readiness. No excuses after tomorrow. I dont wanna hear anything about weight for Loma or weight for Haney. May the best man win!

[Cypocryphy]

This is a self assurance push. He is lacking confidence.
When you are 100% sure you are going to break the other guy in 2, you don't bark, you don't talk, you don't resort to ****** pushes and mob moves.

I think Loma triggered something in Haney when they faced up and Loma was saying anyone can win and acting casual while Haney was and has been trying to convince himself he is the man.

If Loma starts fast tomorrow, Haney is lost. TKO late for Loma.

Yeah. I'm 99.99 percent certain that this was preplanned. However, the push was so aggressive and his facial expression so contorted that he snapped out of fear and frustration. His weight cut didn't go perfectly and Loma has been pretty confident, making him look like a dumbass in the face to face interviews. I think that Loma got the better of him in the last face to face ('cause you know Haney was reading social media about it and saw that everyone said Loma son'd him), and Haney knows that Loma can expose him. So all of these things are at play. Pre planned but also out of fear.

I don't know if you can think of any, but are there any guys who rehydrated but rehydrated too much and it came back to bite them in the fight?

No, it's just a futile attempt to sell a fight that has already been sold. He was attempting a create a buzz, stir and interest among the undecided casual fans to purchase the fight; So it can help boost the sales in order to build up his brand. Remember that It's the first time that either fighter has fought on PPV before.

Yeah. I'm sure a lot of people have fought. From my perspective, this is what you see in a street fight. You know what I mean? In a street fight or a bar fight, it's not planned. Most of these fights begin with a shove, and then from the shove comes a big push or punch. You fight out of anger. Every single street or bar fight I've been in (which is not all that many) was one where I was raging for one reason or another.

In a boxing match (not that I ever fought pro or anything like that), but in a boxing match, it's a competition. It's more of a competitive sport. I've never boxed angry. I mean I've got angry WHILE sparring, but it doesn't compare to when I've been in a real fight.

I think this is a fear thing thing. When it's that intense, there's a lot of emotion in it, and that emotion is almost always fear.

Think that Devin mostly did it to promote the fight, though it was pretty bad move for his image and might have incited Loma's competitive spirit.

Might witness the vintage version of Lomachenko (Nomaschenko).

I remember Nomaschenko...Loma will def need his best version to get that W.

Yeah. But the force that he pushed Loma with wasn't one that you do to sell a fight. That's a push where you could ruin a fight. And when he pushed Loma, he looked angry as hell. It was bizarre. You give a shove to sell a fight. You give a push when you have some real anger. I think what makes this really bad is that he took off real fast after the push. He ran off the stage right away. I've seen pushes before, but usually the guy stays on the stage, eyeing the other guy down and yelling. I've never seen a guy do that kind of push and then high-tail it out of there like that. WEAK.

Haney lucky that Loma didn't get injured

I wouldn’t say scared but it seems like Haney is resentful that the fight did not materialize back in 2019. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder but regardless I believe Lomachenko is going to win clearly. Even though Haney is undisputed he still hasn’t shown what level he is at, none of the 135 division has stepped up except for crazy Lopez and now Haney is trying to do the same so I don’t rank them too highly

[man down]

Haney trying to be a bully. Can't wait to see who's faster.
