Mixed fighters are not Black...

So what are they? They clearly are seen as black and identify as black.
***** is referred to as the first black president. He is mixed so according to you, he’s not black either.

He's a Black Latino or a Black Hispanic. He never met his Puerto Rican father. He was raised by his maternal grandfather.

FMJ ran it back w/both JLC and MM. Make it make sense

I wouldn't mind him running it back against Loma because he whupped his ass once. He would whup his ass some more.

However, fans such as yourself must understand that he is fighting borrowed time. He is outgrowing the division. If he stays at 135 then he should try to do a cash out fight against Gervonta Tank Davis first.

If that's not possible; Then he should run it back against Loma. That is if Arum is willing to pay him what he wants.

To Loma. Get back in line. He lost the fight. He fought well but not great enough to win the fight against Haney. If it was the other way around people would say to Haney you lost to a great champion now get back in line.

Robberies follow you....not close fights.

Lomachenko ain't getting anymore free handouts.

While, I respect Shakur's opinion; I must vehemently disagree with him. One should please name me a time in his professional career when Devin "The Dream" Haney was not controversial?

He became a lightning rod of controversy ever since coming out of the school of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. So he should go about his business because he will never be able to please these anti-black racist boxing fans because he is black.

They want to see him fail anyway. Defeating Loma in a rematch would just further cement and intensify their hatred of him. Shakur Stevenson needs to understand that these same anti-black boxing fans don't like his black ass either.

So long as he remains black and successful in his career.

Haney's hometown Haney fans beg to differ, they saw Haney lose and unanimously booded the outcome.

I don't feel sorry for Loma. He blew that fight and gave it away due to his own arrogance and ******ity.

How the Hell do you expect to lift the titles off the champion by taking rounds off, fighting in spurts, spotting your opponent several rounds before ever engaging them, holding back and you are the challenger?

Why come he didn't he fight the entire fight like he did the 11th round? That is what cost him the fight. He didn't take enough risks. He just didn't do or try hard enough to win the fight. The judges who scored that fight for Haney was far too generous to Loma.

I would have scored the fight 118-110 for Haney.

It was a close fight it could have gone 113-115 or a draw either way and i wouldnt complain. In my opinion Haney won by 2 rds and if Loma wins the 12th he at least comes close to a draw or win. He should have learned not to take rds off after the Teofimo fight. Had Loma fought like he did rds 9-11 the whole fight I might say robbery too but he did not do that

[boxingitis]

It doesn't matter. Haney gets beat by Shakur and Tank. He struggled with an OLD past his prime SMALLER Loma. Imagine he fights an Elite YOUNG and in his Prime, NATURAL at his weight clas fighter.
Haney will get hurt by the likes of Regis and Matias. He will get school by Taylor. Devin doesn't have it. Jab and Clinch doesn't make you Top, Elite, P4P.

No need for a rematch. Not that many people watched the first fight and not many more would watch the rematch just because there was a little “controversy” over the decision (which Loma could have avoided by starting faster in the early rounds and doing more in the 12th round).

Just look at the low PPV numbers for Haney-Loma: the fact is there are more people complaining about the fight’s outcome than those who actually bought the fight in the first place. Arum can mourn and moan all he wants about how Loma got a raw deal, but he’s not going to put his money where his mouth is and actually finance a rematch.

Haney needs to do whatever he can - short of agreeing to ridiculous rehydration clauses - to fight Davis next.

Lol all YOU care about is the success of a PPV? Boxing fans know that Haney vs Loma was more meaningful than David vs Garcia. But you would probably rather watch a rematch of the latter because it was more successful business wise. The fact of the matter is that Haney vs Loma was for all the marbles at 135 regardless of who tuned in to watch it. Davis vs Garcia was a mainstream fight that was contested at a 136 pound catch weight. If Haney runs it back with Loma it’ll only enhance his legacy. He’s only 24 years old. In a year or more he’ll be a bigger deal if he keeps on winning.
