Comments Thread For: Arum: Seems Strange To Have All American Officials For Fight Between American & Ukrainian

[Bronx2245]

I hope Haney didn't re-sign with this old fool.

Paulie Malignaggi said Arum re-signed Haney 2 days before the fight???

It should have been a canadian a mexican and an american judge, but im getting feeling that bob is just acting surprised but he really isnt,he knows exactly how things work in Vegas baby.

[factsarenice]

Who should he sign with then?
What are better options and why?

I think crawford did very good when he was with Top rank.

Arum and Haney already committed to resigning for the winner of Teo/Taylor, and that was before Loma. It was all a set up without consideration for Teo and that's why Teo is pissed.

even hearn and AJ cant get away with that sort of stuff, he had a brit a ukranian & an american official for his london bout with usyk

Well in other fights? How many German, Russian, Ukrainian judges are there? 99% of the time it's American judges..man loma and his fan boys are the biggest cry babies, they cried after teofimo beat him so this is not a surprise. His face looks like a pizza, haney busted him up big time lol

So forget that Shakur, Ward, every expert and everyone in Haney's hometown attendance saw it differently. Ooookkkkkaaaayyyyyyyy......

[uppercut510]

why would he? He resigned haney a couple days before the fight. Not only that, he sees better fights for a young undefeated fighter like haney than an aging, small former champion who is on the tail end of his career.

bill haney said yesterday that they did not resign, where are you getting this info? Pauli?

So Haney was/ had to win regardless.

"The next Eastern Euro fighter who gets a fair shake from Vegas judges will be the first,”

“Kovalev, Triple G, now Vasiliy. All victims of similar decisions that turn on late-round scorecards that go against them when they are not fading, but rather right there in the fight. The Vegas official establishment knows its job, which is to take care of the casinos that feed every meter in town.

“How many bettors fly in from Ukraine or Kazakhstan? Or Russia? Not as many as from California or Mexico. Are all these decisions pure coincidence? Or do they portray political logic on the strip? Once, twice, three times, now four.”

And that about sums it up for me too.

The problem with Loma at his age, similar to him fighting Teo, he's leaving it in the hands of the judges. You're a foreigner in this country. They're not going to give you the W with a decision against younger guys who can bring more money to the table for years. His only chance is to KO his opponent and as long as they're larger than him, similar to Pac, he's got to count on fair judges. It ain't happening.
