Loma still has an amateur style. He only won r3, r10 and r11. The rounds appear close but the fight wasn't.

Bob Arum Says Lomachenko “Won That Fight Easy”
05/21/2023 - By Rob Smith

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum was overheard by cameras telling Vasyl Lomachenko’s manager Egis Klimas that his fighter had won “easy” last Saturday night against Devin Haney in their fight on ESPN PPV.

The judges saw a different fight than Arum, scoring it for Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) by a twelve round unanimous decision the scores of 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113. Most boxing fans would agree that if this fight were scored a draw, there would have been few complaints because this contest was too close to be given to either guy...

DiBella: Put some respect on Haney’s name

“In my mind, that was one of the closest fights I’ve seen in a long time. The rounds were very close,” said Lou DiBella to Fight Hub TV on the Haney vs. Lomachenko fight.

“I thought Devin built up a lead. I didn’t look at the scorecards, but on my scorecard, Devin’s bodywork, particularly early in the fight, was incredible. I thought that’s where he was getting the best of Loma, but Loma did some great things in there too.

“I had the fight getting tighter at the end. I thought Loma won more of the final section of the fight, but I had Haney up early. Some of the rounds were so close that I circled a bunch of my scores.

“Other than that one card [116-112], I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the other cards, and I think neither one of them deserved to lose.

“I understand why Loma is upset because when you fight that kind of fight, and you think you won, I can see how you’d be upset.

“I feel badly for Devin that he had to listen to boos when he fought a brilliant fight. I had Devin pulling away [in the middle of the fight], and then I had Loma pulling it closer at the end, but maybe not quite getting there, and that’s how the judges had it.

“I was almost expecting a draw a little bit. It was as close as it gets. Loma thought he clearly, clearly won. No, I didn’t think that at all.

“I know Bill [Haney] said it wasn’t close, but I don’t agree with that either. It was close, it was damn close, and the young guy won. The young undisputed guy won and put some respect on his name,” said DiBella.

Loma is the real undisputed champ

[unknowledgeablepugilist]

To me the fight was incredibly close with both men having moments of success.

I think the majore issue in this fight is body shots because Haney didn't really land eye catching shots to the head like Lomachenko but he did land really good body shots.

Alvarez vs Lara was a similar situation because I scored the fight for Alvarez off his body punching but a lot people do not take into consideration body punching when scoring a round.
