When is the last time Haney KOd anybody? Loma might have a point. Haney is the one being intimidated. Loma boxes and ****s. Haney jabs and hugs.

He tries

He couldn't even buzz war torn and shot to sht glass-jawed fighters like Linares or Gamboa....He tries to imitate Floyd...in the 2nd half of Floyd's career lol

His fan base is multi-national and multi-cultural. Lot's of black Americans like Loma. Some might not be that vocal about it, but he has a lot of fans. He has a lot of Mexican American fans too. Fans from Mexico. Fans from Europe. Fans from South America.

To be honest, there are not a lot of white Americans that like boxing. Most white Americans like MMA more than boxing, and a big reason for that is due to wrestling being taught in middle school and high school. You grow up with an appreciation for grappling. Boxing has been relegated to urban gyms in ethnic communities, unfortunately. Maybe not so much in Europe, I don't know. But definitely in the states.

This is one of the reasons why we don't see a lot of white American boxers anymore. Back in the 60s and 70s, you had what was called the "white flight." White people left the cities for the suburbs. They didn't take boxing gyms with them, either. It's unfortunate.

I suppose a lot of mothers don't like their sons getting punched in the face after school. And that's all mothers from all backgrounds, which is one of the reasons our amateur boxing sucks now.

Anyway, that was a tangent.

BTW: If you ever wondered why so many boxers come from Argentina, they teach boxing in the schools.

Wot? There's no school here (zero, nada, zip) that teaches boxing. No idea where you get that

Just another re**rded thug.

Haney pushed his way into bumchenkos mind and soul and into the fans hearts

You guys are delusional if you really believe that honestly sounds like wishful thinking on youre part.

Iv never seen a fighter than when asked who will win couldn't answer ME! That's beyond trying to be humble that's just insecure.

Loma has doubt and once you have doubt that's it Hes not sure he can win so doesn't wanna say it. Straight loser mentality.

Umm ggg would always say that. Eastern europeans never boast like that.

[EmpiresBoxing]

That was a good move by haney. This will be an very easy work for haney.

Just bcs you haven’t seen something doesn’t mean anything, except perhaps that you fanboy over hugging loudmouth trash fighters like Haney.

Lomachenko is calm and calculated, as if he doesn’t care. He is purposefully the opposite of the unoriginal awkward gum flapping borefest that Haney is.

You only understand tacky showboating but that only says a lot about you.

Funny how Lomo has been listed as 5'7" up until this fight. He is now listed at 5'6". They are really playing up this excuse of him being too small in case he loses. Also, if he wins we will not hear the end of it how great he is.

lomachenko is a fun fighter to watch, i'm sure lots of people like his style. but i'm gonna say his fanbase is predominantly white lol. so what? the blacks root for their own, why can't we support our own?
