Devin Miles Haney vs. Vasyl Anatoliyovych Lomachenko

Thanks.

Loma was ''too small and too old'' in 2020 but apparently not in 2023

No one and obviously this version of Loma is not the same version of a few years ago. There's a lot of wishful thinking coming from my fellow Loma fans. He looked terrible in his last fight, by far the worst he's ever looked in any fight amateur or pro, like a pale shadow of his former self and he's had longer spells of inactivity than that before. He looked so bad I can't even watch it again and I can typically watch his fights dozens of times. Even against Teofimo in the second half of the fight he looked way better than that.

 

I don't place much importance at all on how aged fighters look in camp. Povetkin looked really good hitting the pads when he fought Whyte and then come fight night he looked like a walking corpse. I've been a huge fan of Loma since 2008 and I've seen him at his brilliant best in the major tournaments, WSB and as a pro and his last fight, as said, is by far the worst I've ever seen him look. He was having trouble pulling the trigger like he used to which is always a bad sign with an aged fighter.

People acting like 35 isn't very old for a natural 126 pounder and obviously having over 400 amateur fights and training like a lunatic for over 30 years isn't going to take a huge toll on your body. Weird how Floyd was past his prime at 36, Roy was shot to bits at 35, Clenelo is past his prime at 32 and lost because the way bigger Bivol had a whopping 3-5lbs in weight on him and a 1.5 reach advantage but blown up 126 pounder Loma is still in his prime at 35 and the massive size disadvantage of Haney weighing three divisions more than him and having a close to six inches reach advantage on him isn't actually a size disadvantage at all compared to Bivol vs Clenelo
