Bradley is changing his mind, too, after rewatching

People just need to rewatch the fight. One guy told me he never realized Haney was countering Loma with Uppercuts and vicious body shots when Loma come in.
His excuse was he watched it live at bar and occasionally get up to get a beer. -
What?! The paid shill for Top Rank is taking the company position?! Shock! It's not like he's being paid by the company which was calling Haney the winner all week before the fight. Oh wait.Comment

Yeah let's trust Bradley who **** rode Haney all week and benifited from being an American and robbing a foreigner in his career as well. FOH!Comment

Funny thing is Bradley didn't rewatch the fight. Hes just getting pressure from a certain online community calling him racist names. Even in this video he seems like he wants to appease both sides. Saying 7-5 Haney to then saying it should have been a draw. Shakur is getting videos made about him left and right too from this community but i don't think cowers to them as he already had a run in with them when they interviewed him earlier in his career and he wasn't fully in with their agenda.Comment

The company spent the entire promotional period either directly calling Haney the winner or building a narrative that Loma was done. The most they gave him was "does the old guy have one more performance in him?"
Then they called Haney the winner before the fight ever happened in the post fight for Muratalla.
It's abundantly clear what the company line was, and they were overlooking and undervaluing Loma the whole time. He actually called Osuna out for it during one of the prefight interviews.
I don't know why yet. There's a lot that they clearly knew about the fight that we didn't know, down to the details about giving Haney a secret weigh-in early so he'd have more time to rehydrate. We'll find out if Haney's still a Top Rank fighter in due time, no doubt, but the company line was very clear.
Look at the line of questioning post fight. "What did Haney do well that won him the fight?". They tried dropping that on Shakur because Shakur had said for months that Haney would win. But that backfired on then, and you could see it on the interviewer's face that he wasn't expecting Shakur to say that Loma had won, and they cut straight to Kellerman trying to argue that it wasn't a robbery.
If you don't understand what the company line was, you weren't paying attention.Comment
