[CasperUK]

They withheld $400k from his purse

They settled on a $25k fine

The rest went back to Haney

Stop your crying and rematch the man that beat you, you complete fool. This fellah is chit. He got beaten in the eyes of everyone who saw and without doubt. The better man lost on the record. It won’t happen, very few Americans do that. Look at spence, look at Davis? Both bottled out of credible rematches we all wanted to see, complete wanker, doesn’t have a punch and undone by a better boxer so what does he have? Nothing.

I’m not usually the one to complain about weigh in antics or selling a fight, but that push was very excessive. Haney put everything into that push and seemed to snap Loma’s head back. These things can risk the fight and i’m assuming that it was due to this event which caused TR to beef up security for Lopez vs Taylor

You’re right, it was possibly the commission who told TR that that can’t happen again. Put a leash on your fighters they can’t get physical like that with no provocation.

I remember Hopkins did the same thing to Pascal, but he didn’t get fined because Pascal was all up in his face yelling “take the test!”

But just violently pushing someone like that out of nowhere, no warning, no talking from the other guy, that’s foul. A sucker push.

It was funny because everyone said Haney was a paper champion and he beat up Loma pretty easy. Loma looked like he had been in a car crash after that fight. I thought Loma was "The Matrix". The Matrix must have have a down-grade...
