Comments Thread For: Haney Still Wants Lomachenko: We Can Get That Fight Done!

[j.razor]

Didn't the WBC declare him the Franchise Champ? According to them, Loma is the champ and never has to fight a mandatory. I agree that it's BS, but he doesn't have to fight Haney. Haney is like the Junior Varsity champ.

And l0m0 ducked the "Junior Varsity champ" so what's that say about l0m0? Chicken?? Yeah l0m0 should be scared just like his "fans"

Beyond a promotional "Dream", I can't figure out how Haney is even in the same conversation with Loma.

For the simple FACTED that he's ducking Devin.

Exactly. Loma has already stated Tank and Haney are good fights for him in 2020 after he fights for the fourth belt and becomes undisputed.

So then WHY would he move back down to 130? Sounds like he WON'T be fighting Devin in 2020.

After that performance by Haney, I don't think Lomachenko is going to have problems sleeping at night.

He shouldn't have given away his title, cause Haney definitely isn't that good. Tank and Teofimo are better opponents.

You dudes love listening to the dumb commentary don't ya'll? What part of shutting out a fighter all 12 rounds don't you understand?? l0m0's boss worries for a reason, a loss from Devin.

No, he runs (shook) from them.

He has a fight lined up for all the belts....well not including Haney's Junior Varsity belt. rofl

They don't want anything...many of them are programmed into a thinking pattern that is destroying young fighters. It goes something like this: "Humph!!!! the way prospect A beat on his picked opponent demonstrates his lack of craft! Why he should have beat that prospect much harder!"

Now... If that sounds ridiculous it is. You don't judge a fighter this way. But what it does is create road blocks for the Haney's of the world. What people should say is Fight fight and fight!!! Go in there against Loma, call Tank out, and get that experience! Lose a few! by all means, learn from those losses, and just keep going.

Haney, unlike Tank for example, seems willing, and his father seems to be a capable guy. Canelo fought Floyd when he was green and it did nothing but make him better.

In the history of this sport are many great, even ATG fighters who took losses, and quite a few at times. And even a fighter who is not great, a guy like Chisora, actually could be a champion because he has always been willing to fight anyone at anytime.

My own prejudice is partiality to Oakland! Just a **** em up, hard scrabble town... and Haney was raised there apparently, despite pops moving to Vegas at some time. Oakland is like Pittsburgh in times past, producing guys who have that toughness in the ring. This fight was actually a decent scrap. The other kid knew how to fight off the back leg when he needed to do so and fought back when he could.

But of course the media, the way they want people to think, etc obscures the reality that this kid is very young, very good, and possibly capable of being an excellent fighter. How will he get better? NO doubt about it! By calling Adrien Broner, hanging out in strip clubs and bowling alleys, wearing large pieces of ***elry, and engaging in twitter wars, with occasional street fights... We can only hope that Haney stops challenging other fighters, and stops fighting so much and starts doing what he is supposed to do and playing for the media!!

1st they said Floyd wouldn't fight Nelo then AFTER he fights AND whoops Nelo all of the sudden Nelo was "green." Ya'll can't use that fake excuse, Nelo wasn't "green" & he got beat by the best, plain & simple.

The media that night tried to say Devin wasn't performing his best which was B.S. the kid he fought was good, tough & ready but realized that Devin was tougher to beat than he thought. bob arum knows this & it is why he took Devin vs campbell for the wbc away from Devin & is now tagging l0m0 to keep l0m0 away from Devin.

[j.razor]

I think at this point, after seeing what Haney did last night, he would get embarrassed by Lomachenko.
If I'm Haney and his team, the next year I'd fight progressively better opponents and in 2021 I'd try to get Garcia or Tank in the ring and if Loma is at 135 then, try for the fight at that point because Loma will be 2 years older and maybe a little shot but right now, he doesn't have any shot of winning that fight.

Haney vs Garcia at 140 in a few years could actually be a mega fight if both keep winning and growing their fanbases.

Stop playing yourself out. Devin whoops l0m0 & it is why bob is keeping him away from Devin. Stop acting & playing games. Ask for the fight if that's what you believe cuz you DON'T & WON'T.

these guys are happy with giving lomo hypothetical wins over guys..."oh he dont have to fight that guy he would dominate him thats good enough for me"

the cycle continues....kova gets ****d by ward...golovkin gets beat "mexican style" by canelo...loma is next up as the hero to all...can do no wrong...wins every hypothetical matchup and is never really avoiding any fight....till his day comes again when someone beats him and the excuses fly

[j.razor]

No question Loma takes Haney. He opens himself to shots, and Loma has too quick of an eye - he could diagnose Haney in three rounds and exploit those openings all night. That said, there aint't no shame in losing to someone as good as Lomachenko, much respect to anyone willing to stand with him.

Since you are a peep game..l0m0 is ducking Devin because they are worried that Devin beats l0m0. So its, No question Devin takes l0m0. Devin is too fast for l0m0 - he can't diagnose Devin in 3 rounds or exploit any openings any night. That said, its no wonder why l0m0's boss is making moves to keep Devin away from l0m0 & it would shame those l0m0 fans after losing to Devin.
