          Loma lost, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this. It was close tho I'll give you that. This was the first HOFer Devin beat so it wasn't unexpected to be a tough night I'm sure.
          Haney was a 3-1 favorite, was ~10 lbs heavier and 11 years younger. And he got a gift of a decision where he was loudly booed.

            Hahaha well if you compare Haney to the greats then Haney looks like a nobody. Which ofc is pretty much the truth. Beating the memory of Gamboa, old Linares (nice chicken dance tho) and getting a gift against old Lomachenko doesn’t make you anything special.

            I think once (soon) Hankey loses we will get even better and longer list of excuses than we did from Deonkey Wilder.

                Most of these guys are arguing about money meanwhile Devin was going to another country to fight the #1 guy at 135 twice, cuz he probably doesn't get that first fight if he doesn't agree to the rematch clause, then goes to Top Rank & fights one of their poster boys & a future HOFer. Now he's going to fight the guy most see as #1 at 140. Devin is doing the sh^t you wish your favorite fighter would do.
                Credit for betting on himself and fighting on the road but not much credit for beating Kambosos- he’s B level at best, likely lower based on the Maxi Hughes gift.

                Then I’m not one of these guys who was screaming robbery but I felt Loma won and so did the majority of fans. So you can’t exactly give him full credit for beating a guy when a lot of people felt he lost.

                Who has Prograis #1? Ring and TBRB both have Lopez at #1. Hard to not have Lopez as the #1 guy after he just beat the #1 guy.

                  As if he was trying to become disliked.

                    really frustrating as I don’t believe he beat Loma whatsoever.

                    BUT what I can do is give him total credit for wanting to fight everyone. Not happy about the gift over Loma, but he wants all the smoke.

                      haney is good no doubt but i think it must be something to do with some modern boxers, their ego's are just out of control lol, they are all demanding their flowers & respect & dont take criticism of them or their resume well at all
