Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Reinstated As WBC Lightweight Champion

[ShoulderRoll]

Lol at you acting like Loma ducked him. Don't stay this kind of crap man. You sound ridiculous.

Lomachenko isn't going to fight Devin Haney........

Not anytime soon....

He's going to unify the belts and if some brand new fighter like Haney is still even around, he'll take him out too.

If Lomachenko had other things he wanted to do that's fine. But if he wasn't going to defend the title against Haney anytime soon (as per WBC timelines) then it's fitting that he dropped it and that Devin got it.

Yep. Exactly right.

Pffft...

You guys sound like clowns. Loma is going after the division when they stripped him.. He didn't say "I want to be come the franchise champion."

You guys are clowns.

Because he was set to fight for a world title and it was taken away from him because of a pandemic.

Why? The guy has had 2 shots at the belt already and just lost his last fight for it.

using some reason,

1) Lomachenko being elevated to the franchise champion was out of haneys control. Haney at that time was the interim champ (didn't really do anything to deserve it though) and was elevated to the WBC champion.

Undeserved path to a title, but Ive seen fighters facing worse fighters for vacant titles and he actually called out lomachenko.

2) Haney was injured after his last fight in september and was sidelined for at least 6 months. WBC stripped him and demoted him to champion in recess or something similar.

Im not sure why the WBC were so strict with Haney when a lot of WBC champions got a lot of leeway in the past (looking at chavez jr.).

Fortuna Vs Campbell were supposed to fight for the vacant title. Fight didnt happen because of corona. No one fought for the title while haney was injured, so there is no real reason for him being stripped.

Green Karma Positive: Excellent post with all truth. There is not debate on this one.

No, why would he defend it against a guy that no one wants to see him fight? And someone who hasn't even beaten anybody?

He's going after Lopez to unify the division.

Uh... no...

They called him up months ago and said, "Uh Devin... we're just going to... give you this world title..."

Because they're complete clowns making all these bull**** types of belts and think they're doing some service to the boxing world. They're idiots.

Top Rank requested the Franchise Champion designation. That's his own promoter who asked for it.

First of all a lot of us would have wanted to see him fight the young gun Haney. Breadman Edwards even called that a very dangerous fight for Lomachenko and was predicting a Haney upset.

Second, the WBC made him the mandatory so it doesn't matter if you or I or anybody else wanted to see Lomachenko fight him or not. At that point you either face him or drop the title...and we saw what happened.

Haney is the rightful owner of the belt under those circumstances.

Smfh. That’s bullsh/t.

This stuff will never fly in any other sport. What a joke. I hope he is proud of beating absolutely no one for that belt.

Shame on boxing for this.

Imagine if a team can just complain about not being champion, and then the commissioner hands them the championship title? That would be comedy. Only in boxing can you see comedy like this. 100% a paper champ, has beaten no one of note, beat no one for the belt. An actual fraud right here.

I remember all the dudes here saying Loma was ducking this kid. LOL

[millcitymauler]

Lol what fight is your gif from is Haney wearing a Selena Quintanilla shirt.

Looks more like a scene from High School Musical, or something on Disney +
