    Do you always speak in absolutes? I don't hate the guy. I think he has good potential. But he is an unproven fighter who talks. Perhaps it is his way of getting noticed. I like what I have seen of Haney too. But people will take note of when a young fighter talks about a more accomplished fighter and then gets dropped like that.

    Even before this video I didn’t think he was ready. Maybe he is but based on his opposition, I just do not see it yet.

    Kind of a dick move for the guy to put it up on instagram.
    What happened to the old "What happens in sparring, stays in sparring?"

    According to boxrec, this dude is a WW/ LMW

    Loma would wreck Teofimo. Dude has terrible defense and lacks experience.

    Did I say every single person? I don't even know who you are, or whose alt you are. For all, I know you're actually a relatively new member and don't have this mindset, but at least 50% of the posters on this thread did exactly what I described.

    It's only sparring i don't think that much of it unless it happens frequently.

    Agree. 2020 too early for Haney, but if Loma shows signs of slippage and Haney keeps progressing, 2021-2022 Haney could take Loma. If Haney becomes a heavy hitter, which I doubt he will then Loma would be in a world of trouble.

    That's beautiful. I would love to watch the whole sparring session.

    This video shows more of the sparring.

    Apparently this was from before Lopez went pro when he was preparing for the olympics.
