He lost a lot of respect from that fight, although I had it a draw, and not a Pac/Bradley situation, the fact is the vibe and aftermath feels the same. Haney came out of this fight looking bad in the eyes of fans and pundits, whether you find that justifiable or not.
Secondly, fans will be pushing for the rematch, and although Loma will be a year older, Haney is really struggling to make weight at 135 and the weight cut may be too much for him.
Third, he gets found out at 140, which is a weak division. But he doesn't have the strength, power or chin to hang at 140 and certainly not at 147. He couldn't put a dent in little old Loma and hasn't had a knockout in 4 years at lightweight.
He'll soon get found out and he's lucky he's avoided Gervonta thus far.
