    Do or die. When facing Salido, Loma had everything going for him. Recently won his second gold medal, made a successful pro debut and he was about be the man with least amount of fights to become a world champ. He was widely favored to win the belt.
    Now he is at the tail end of his career and he knows he likely won´t get another chance at the undisputed 135lb title.

    We could possibly see Loma at his very best.

    So different scenarios
    could possibly be as hungry to prove himself
    As when he was fighting for his 1st belt to now what could be his last World champion attempt at undisputed - for all the marbles…
    I’m pumped up for this one!:ibutt:boxing1:campeon:

    Crazy how he juggles soo effortlessly like that,

    I just hope when Loma goes for the punch that he puts a little stink on it!

    Great tricks from Lomo the Clown over here.

    If the judges cheat there will be excuses.

    He doesn't peck from mid range and resets often, but Lopez fight did not show his lack of footwork but his lack of pacing. In the first 6 rounds he threw far too few punches.

    Only Stevenson could neutralise his feet.

    This is actually more possible than people think. Or haney’s disgusting father will throw in the towel at some point.

    We’ll see Loma get going in this one way earlier I believe

    It won't matter, even a Loma at 50% beats Haney.

    There were some crews in Sydney that were gonna shut Bill Haney's fat mouth in the lead up to the Kambosos fight. Lucky for him they kept all the press stuff in Melbourne.

    I dont know what pavel is and I dont know anything about Ukrainian culture. Prior to Crimea **** a few years ago I thought Ukraine and Russia were unofficially bros. All kinda news to me that they arent on good terms.

    Anyhow, a shame if Loma and Usyk arent revered in their homelands. Both incredible and inspirational fighters

    Damnnn lol, I'm really curious to see how this plays out. I feel like Haney has been wanting this fight, but stylistically it's a bad match up for him. I wouldn't be surprised if this fight is easier than the Ortiz fight.
