      Arum only just realised this despite being involved with the sport for the past 150 years.

          I also noticed it was a pro Loma crowd, in a fight in America, between a Ukranian and an American.

          But yes, Haney doesn't have that high popularity of Tank.

              That did not start out a loma pro crowd, in fact it wasn’t til later in the fight that you even heard his fans. They showed him in the big screen on my stream and he got booed. Not sure what espn’s stream had but I wasn’t about to sit through another Andre Ward talking out his behind 12 round fight. Had the fight been in nyc well then yeah pro loma crowd but Vegas..nah.

                Yeah Bob you just signed Haney to a multi fight deal 2 days before the fight. Just remember when Josh Taylor fought Ramirez 114 112 x3 with Taylor scoring 2 knock downs.

                    what is very strange with a boxing promotion is when close fights dont go to the guy the promoter wants to win lol

                      New system: 10 minutes before the fight, 3 random audience members are selected to judge the bout.
