Punch count: Why loma-haney was one of the worst robberies

[FeFist]

It wasn't a robbery and Lomachenko's crying is what seperates him from the ATGs.

There's an unhealthy arrogance in the way that he conducts himself. You can't just decide to show up in the 2nd half of the fight and then let your foot off the gas in the 12th. If he didn't feel entitled to have rounds that were scored competitively in his favour, he'd have committed himself more in the 12.

Of course some of this might be a limitation of his style. Taking things easy in the first half of the right so that he can up the tempo when they're tired. If that is his gameplan, he needs to take a leaf out of Mayweather's book and win the rounds cleanly.

God, this gave me flashbacks of Spoon posting slow motion highlights arguing that Manny beat Floyd.

Loma was more active throughout the entire fight. Haney's bodywork didn't do much to slow Loma down so you can't call it effective, whereas Haney's head was bouncing around when Loma hit it.

Landed body shots are still scoring shots...

for some reason, people on this site don't believe that body punches are scoring blows. They seriously think scoring blows are ONLY head shots. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY WEREN'T SLOWING HIM DOWN, THEY WERE LANDED SHOTS!!!!!!!!

Devins body work is greatly exaggerated. The only people trying to say " i re-watched the fight Devin won 9-3" is a certain youtube community that always hates on every fighter not on the "list".

I thought Lomachenko won but the problem is he didnât win 7 rounds clearly so itâs not a robbery.

Too many of the rounds were close and either way.

The problem is that the close fights NEVER go to the non-house fighter. Always to the American. The only way a fighter from a lesser known place can win against American fighters in America( with American judges and reds) is if they blow the house fighter out of the water like Bivol be Canelo, Fury vs Wilder 2 etc. is Boxing needs to be cleaned up.

Loma did not win more than 5 rounds, and that's being generous.

Close fight and I am not crying robbery but I have problem with this narrative that some of you are trying to create here. He didn't show up just in the 2nd half of the fight. This wasn't like Teo fight. He started strong from the beginning, yes his strongest rounds were 10th and 11th but that was not everything he did there. If Loma showed up only in 2nd half then Haney didn't show up at all in this fight.
