Did lomas face look like he won? He got hit with every body shot haney threw, I mean I'm not surprised that his fan boys think he won because remember he won against Teofimo too?!

Wow. You're a dumbazz.

If you are talking about Loma's facial expressions and if it looked like he won? He got hit with every body shot haney threw, I mean I'm not surprised that his fan boys think he won because remember he won against Teofimo too?!

Did the expression on Loma's face say he won? Prior to the decision, yes. If you are saying that the punches that landed made his face look bad, that is the most ignorant response ever and I hear it too much.
I want everyone to understand localized inflammation from trauma. Every person's physiology is different and some will have faces that look horrible while others look pristine. How someone looks after a fight is
more correlation and individual response and not causation. I am happy to explain further if needed.

There is no rule that you have to "do enough to take the belts". You just have to win the fight.

And if it had been Shakur in there and he'd been robbed in the exact same scanario, I'd be just as concerned and asking for refirms as I am now.

Race has zero to do with this. Unless you think Haney needed judging help to win. He lost and it hurts the sport.

Tell yourself that race have nothing to do with it. Then explain this, why does a fighter, from another country, get the crowd support as opposed to a fighter fighting in his home town? Would the same happen if the USA fighter was white?

I’m just going to correct one thing and give you multiple examples.
Most of the raucous Loma fans are Ukrainians. It is the very reason Loma sells out MSG. This is not a race issue at all.
When Hatton fought Floyd, over 20,000 Brits traveled to Vegas.
Polish heavyweight, Andrew Golota sold out MSG anytime he fought there. Why? Because 90% of fabs were Polish.
Naseem Hamed sold out MSG. Why? Because 80% of the crowd were Arabs.

The bigger thing to discuss is the nonsense American fighters like saying about why they wouldn’t go overseas because they are afraid of being robbed.
How many foreign fighters have come to the US only to be robbed of outright victory? Plenty is the answer.

If Haney was white then he still would've had the crowd against him. Loma is way more known internationally and fights in Vegas always draw a lot of tourists.

People here have said far worse things and made far worse insults, so don't pretend like you don't know and be selective now...
I must have struck a nerve so hard it seems. I wonder why....hmmm....

My wife of 20 years is a school teacher and has turned me into a big supporter of the varied Spectrum of Autism.
It is a spot for me. I gotcha though…it’s all good.

Wow. What a ***** comment. Be a real man and call him ******ed, ******.

I said the same myself! You are 100 percent right on the money!

[real raw]

For a real time example of how this **** kills the sport. I had a friend who lives a state away text me a few times about the fight. He was contemplating if he would get it and so was I. On the day of the fight he texted me....I am just going to watch a round by round online, I am sick of spending money on these crap shows.

I bought it. My friend texted me the next day and said, "I knew there would be something ridiculous with it. Saved myself $60 and the frustration, lol."

Boxing has always had a shady rep. But at this point, it has gotten so obvious that casuals aren't buying fights and losing interest, because they assume bad judging and bad refs, etc.

If that doesn't change, the sport will be totally dead in a decade. Because so few will watch that thete won't be money in it for anyone.

Based on this post, it seems you are more invested in the outcome of a fight rather than the actual fight itself. The fight (product) was worth the price of admission. It was a damn good fight. As long as boxing continues to put on competitive contests, it will live on.

The boxing writers association around the world should propose with the creation of a unique award-giving body to highlight the boxing event that stir the boxing fans. We have a Knockout of the Year or Upset of the Year Awards. I suggest a Robbery of the Year and Judges With Blinders Awards should be created to acknowledge the judges.

Haney-Loma is my bet for 2023...and
