Comments Thread For: Haney Calls Lomachenko 'A F------ Sore Loser,' Says He Was Fined $400K For Push At Weigh-In

[richardt]

Does anyone know what the "brick" Devin has that Bill kept referring to whenever he was giving instructions? That's really the only thing I heard him say throughout the fight "yeah but you have that brick" lol what brick?

I can only guess it is a right hand to the body.

They may not be losers but 9 out of 10 of them didn't actually score the fight round by round while watching, and were talking and drinking and not paying full attention all 3 mins of the rounds. Anybody who is sane, and who watched the fight they way a judge would (whether ringside or at home) felt that it was a 1-2 pt fight either way, or a draw, based on how razor thin close so many rounds were. (Only 2 rounds were super decisive). Anyone who thinks Loma won 8-4 is a lunatic, and I was rooting for Loma 200%.

Hmm, if you believe that only two rounds had a clear winner, then why not score the fight 120-118 for the winner? I'm guessing I know which two rounds you're talking about and which guy you thought won them. The rest of the rounds you ostensibly forced yourself to pick a winner.

No fight should be run back due to controversy. I always say just move on. It's just an admission that the first fight was a waste of time and why wouldnt the next one also be corrupt? And if the robbed fighter has to do it again then that's unfair ( for the second time) that he can't move on from a victory. And since everyone knows who won why bother.

But mostly because its like rewarding the corrupt promotion for being corrupt.

Weird logic.

Lol Devins right hand is anything but a brick. Also wondering what he really ment by that.

I'm guessing the $400K was to make an example out of Haney to prevent future occurrences from Haney and/or other fighters in the sport. But, I think it was that high of a fine because of how hard Haney shoved Loma and that if he fell backward and was injured or injured someone else, a huge amount of money would have been lost on the postponement of the fight due to one callous act.

That could be an expression senior uses because his best punch it seems is a right to the body which is harder than his headshots. And typically guys who are not big punchers can hurt guys to the body so senior was probably hoping for that.

No real mystery, Haney had an actual brick in his glove. Never buzzed Loma once with it though.

[richardt]

I remember when Haney burst on to the scene I was really liking the guy and and how he was so mild-mannered and appreciative and thinking how he is going to do great things, seemed like a nice guy. But between the time he made racial comments and then shoving Loma hard, my appreciation of him dropped like a hot rock. He is an ass-hole, plain and simple.

Haney can toss his fake religious act right into the trash.

That unprovoked push was for Allah.

If Haney would have done what he said he would then there wouldn't be any controversy. But that didn't happen, did it? Now he has a new weapon...his mouth. That goes with his hugging and clenching. A real champion would silence the critics with an immediate rematch Not a bunch of FU's. So not so fast Mr lightweight. You have business to finish at lightweight. Besides, 140 guys would beat you up bad. BTW 400K? Next time you'll have to watch your step. Expensive lesson.
