Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: Lomachenko Was My Toughest Opponent By Far, He's Very Crafty

[joseph5620]

Loma made him look ordinary, they won't want the rematch smoke, Loma did all the skill and eye catching work, a moral victory for him and the Ukraine.

If Haney is ordinary then so is Lomachenko because he did nothing that showed he's far better than Haney.

You're clearly a simpleton if that's all you have to say.

Like I said, Mayweather had 3 paper thin decision wins and if he wasn't American there is a high likelihood he woulda lost some of those. At that point we would be talking about a completely different fighter and even though none of his skills would be any different different.

Just parroting 17-3 doesn't mean f all if you understand a thing about boxing. Loma is Ukrainian and therefore doesn't get the favouritism that Americans like Floyd and Haney do. Loma has had 3 close decisions going against him, Floyd did have 3 for him. But I guess you just lack the iq to make a judgement of your own and biased and corrupt boxing judges to tell you who is a good fighter and who isn't.

One aspect where Loma is better than Floyd is that in his second fight as a pro he fought for the championship. Floyd was beating absolute chumps for his first 15 fights. Doesn't take anything away from Floyd's wins but you're just being dishonest overlooking things like that. I still rate Floyd over Loma for his wins over many top names that Loma doesn't have but nevertheless Lomachenko is a rare talent and his skills are unique.

See, a simpleton would be an idiot who contradicts themself from one breath to the next whiteout realizing it. You whine about favoritism then brag on the favoritism Loma has been shown.

Getting a title shot in his second fight as a pro was an example of the Ukrainian getting the kind of favoritism that you accuse black Americans of getting. Loma has also received favorable praise/protection/promotion in the media that fighters like Floyd and Haney haven’t received. ESPN literally got caught lying on Loma’s record to make him look better. They even had Loma on their p4p list after his loss to teo instead of Haney all the way up until the Loma-Haney fight was signed. Even the fans in America have showed favoritism to Loma over guys like Haney and his other black American peers. You think black fighters could go to the Ukraine and fight in front of a favorable crowd against Loma? Loma had more people in the crowd cheering for him than Haney and by far.

Loma was a great media hype, the biggest hype job I’ve ever seen yet his fanboys whine like he’s some kind of victim. Hilarious.

Tell me one fighter who has wanted to fight a champion in their second fight. Or gimme top 10 that have tried to make it happen and been denied.

I can't either.

I don't care what ESPN has done, it hasn't benefited Loma's record one bit. And I don't care about the hype either, I care about boxing skill and ability.

You're just downing hatorade by the bottle. I dunno why and I don't care but you refuse to admit Lomachenko has the same skills and could as well have won all 3 of his close losses.

Do you think an undisputed championship fight could be arranged in Ukraine with a Ukrainian fighting an American and all 3 judges being Ukrainians? You realize how ridiculous the very idea is and yet it happens all the time in the states. It's dumb. Just like your arguments.

The main motivation for pro boxers is money and the quickest way to get to the money in boxing is to chase titles/belts. Obviously I can’t speak on behalf of any fighter but common sense should tell you that if more fighters were given the privilege of challenging for a title shot as soon as their 2nd fight, they would.

Of course you don’t care about all of the favoritism ESPN/Top Rank and other boxing media has shown Loma, now that you’ve been proven wrong about black Americans getting the favoritism. You want to downplay his 3 losses but those fights shouldn’t have been that close to begin with. You’re trying to compare his 3 decision losses out of 20 fights with Floyd’s 2 close decisions out of 50 fights. You gotta get this through your head man, Loma is no comparison to Floyd. Y’all should’ve never ran with this comparison before he had even accomplished much. His best win is who? 40 year old Rigo? GRJ?

[Carpe Diem]

Haney is definitely going to get his ass handed to him against either Tank or Shakur. He has a nice jab, but he doesn’t know how to fight tall and use range control. He throws some of his punches too wide, etc, he’ll be out of his league against those two guys.
