    Have you considered that Devin Haney might win more decisively in the rematch, and silence the critics and fangirls?

    That would be the best resolution for BOTH parties involved.

    Loma won the 11th. Did he not score that for him or what?

    Good on Eligas. File a complaint with the commission. This was clearly a robbery of the lowest order.

    I had it 116-112 but looking at it, I'm sure I missed something. Ill have to rewatch it.

    It’s because people score on sentiments rather than what is actually happening. The fight was close but Haney clearly won it. The crowd was a pro-Loma crowd but the judges are to be congratulated on doing a professional proper judge. Even the ESPN blow by blow commentator was rooting for Loma.

    I agree that Loma won, I'm just saying that Haney impressed with his skills. I still think Shakur would pick Haney apart, but Haney showed balls taking this Loma fight, the size advantage didn't play a role because he has no power.

    Overall it was a high level as **** fight, only a casual fan wouldn't want to watch the rematch from a pure spectacle point of view. I get why people wouldn't want it in fear of Loma getting robbed again, but it was a crazy technical fight.

    Score cards were bull****, the fact that none of them had a draw, and the 8-4 card was in Haney’s favor? Garbage.

    My reason for having Loma winning is down to two factors. First off, both fighters started this fight wanting to be the aggressor and trying to push the other back. Lomachenko clearly won that battle, despite being smaller and older, he had Haney on the ropes, and the backfoot, and on the defensive in far more rounds than the opposite. Most swing rounds could be given to Loma purely because of being the aggressor. Second of all, if you look at all clear rounds, which I thought there was 3, they are all Lomachenkos. To give this fight to Haney, you would have to score most swing rounds to him, while not being able to say he won a single one of those absolutely definitely.

    The commentary team have damage control down to perfection at this point in time. All the phrases, what if's and the rest of it trying to defend the sport and its politics.

    How exactly does that resolve the situation for Loma who has been robbed of becoming undisputed champion???

    Get new glasses and learn how to watch the sport. You are the most biased person on this forum.
