but why did all three judges score it to Haney? including one 8-4, which I haven’t seen anyone on the internet make a reasonable claim for. you’d assume the odds would be at least one card being in Loma’s favour. when none of the cards represent the consensus of what many boxing fans, fighters, media etc actually saw, you have to ask questions.
Many people do not clearly understand what a robbery means. They will have no problem and no complain if their favorite fighter win a close fight. But they will call a close fight to be a robbery if their favorite fighter gets beaten.
An 8-4 card is what made this fight even worse and he scored Loma’s best round for Haney His entire card is suspect
No see this is the problem in boxing. Because it was a close fight there was no way Loma (or any older/ B side/wasn't supposed to win) was going to get the decision over Haney. I can probably look at anyone's post history here and find a post where they felt like the fighter they thought won didn't and many times it's the type of scenario above.
Had it 115-113 yesterday when I was scoring with Haney being the A-side and the young champion in mind. I did the same with Usyk-Joshua I and II which resulted in my scorecards being very, very english. As usual, on the rewatch when I throw out of my mind such preconceptions, the fight become much clearer. I could go as far as to give Lomachenko 116-112 and die with clear conscience. 117-111 if I throw in one of the even rounds I gave to Haney since he was the champion (disgusting unwritten rule when applied in modern era of e-mail straps.)
11th round is going to haunt Haney for the rest of his life. Schooling approaching 10-8 territory, except Lomachenko took a breather during the last minute.
Not gonna lie boys. Yesterday I felt okay with the decision since I scored paranoid and only gave Lomachenko the certain rounds. Today I'm just crestfallen. What a god damn schooling of a massive, young weight bully. Haney can't even claim some great rounds like Lopez did and he was getting shook in 10th and 11th.
Some observers see it one way, others see it another. Simply because one group is in the minority doesn't mean they are, ipso facto, wrong. My argument is, essentially, that no one is "wrong." It's a matter of perspective and judgement - and in matters of boxing scoring people need to have more humility. In these sorts of close competitive fights NO ONE should assume that how they score a round or a fight is necessarily correct. How do you prove such a thing with any certitude? It's all opinion, essentially.
It's funny, I tend to project and assume people I talk to via the internet are also adults. Your complete misuse of the term gaslighting, you calling me an NPC and you clearly popping yourself in a rage behind the screen have convinced me you're likely a child though lol. "Welcome to my ignore list buddy > : (" damn. Wasn't even saying I thought Haney won lol, just that your argument is garbage, because it objectively is.
Again, not even saying I think Haney won, just that argument ad populum, especially argument ad populum ex social media consensus is a horrible argument, because it is. Smooth brained logic to use to justify your beliefs. Saying "The sky is blue because loads of people on Twitter agree with me" is a dog **** argument, regardless of whether or not the sky is blue, ya get meh?
