    No, that's just you making excuses for Loma before the fight even happens because you're threatened by Haney.

    Why would I be threatened by Haney, i'm already resigned to him winning, i'm not sat here worrying about the prospect of him doing so.

    You're threatened by the fact that Haney can beat any version of Loma. That's why you're already making excuses before the fight on why Loma will lose. Haney just can't be better at 135 right? Lmfao, foh.

    I couldn't care less about a hypothetical prime v prime fight that will never happen. I am calling this match up for what it is in 2023 with Lomachenko being 35 years old.

    Haney is in his prime? Dude is 24. Yes, you're making excuses already. Let me guess you had excuses for Loma losing to teo too huh, what was it then?

    Stating that Loma is past prime at 35 years old is making excuses apparently :rolleye:

    Haney will do what he needs to do, he’ll make it boring and stay behind the jab, and that will win him the fight by clear decision (although no doubt Loma fans will complain and argue that their man won for years afterward like after the Teofimo fight)

    Haney will hug, grab, jab and muck up a fight against a smaller, older man, and win comfortably on the cards. Then cue the sitewide cryfest and meltdown.

    You know it, I know it, everybody knows it. Deal with it. Would have been an interesting matchup in Loma's prime, but at his age and size, this is Haney UD all day. I will be betting Haney on points and will laugh the whole way to the bank. It's like they're handing out money. So take the money.

    Loma doesn't have the self-belief and balls necessary to turn this into a battle of heart and will. Which he will need to do given his ring age and size. He's never been a ring warrior like his compatriot Usyk, so he's not going to start now at 35.

    Don't get me wrong, Haney is a live opponent. He has most, if not, all the physical advantages, but Loma has the advantage in the skills.

    I thought Loma would nick this until Haney/Kambo II, when Haney threw a more authoritative right hand. He doesn't need to hurt Loma, but he does need to threaten with more than the jab.

    I picked Haney but it's damn near a 50/50 fight.

    According to certain individuals 35 years old in the lower weight classes where reflexes and speed are two of the most important things, all the sudden isn’t past prime anymore. :rolleyes:

    :facepalm::facepalm:

    Look at all the past great 130-140 guys and see where exactly they were at by the time they were 35. Hell even 147 to 154! At 35 years old were they performing like they were at 24-30??? But I guess Loma is supposed to look as sharp as he did against Walters, Rigo and GRJ. :rolleyes:

    Haney by decision. Lomo too slow now, too small. Haney is known to hug a lot against big guys but he won't gave to do so
    here. Will be surprising easy IMO.
