Loma is a legend, a certain HOF in his first year of eligibility fighter. I probably have him a little short of ATG status though. I do think he is just a little bit overrated...that's no criticism by the way but I do agree that he stayed amateur for too long (nobody needs 400 fights as an amateur) and he's had to make up time ever since. 20 fights just isn't enough to rate him as highly as some do, especially with the 3 losses (although the Haney one is a joke). And at his age, how many more big fights has he got in him?

I love him but sadly his career, for a few reasons is not going to be what it absolutely could and should have been.

 

That's interesting, I suppose.

But not relevant, as it doesn't really address your inability to correctly assess what is actually happening in the ring.

 

It's very relevant, as scoring is subjective and open to interpretation. I try not to allow my emotions or who I'm rooting for influence my scoring. You think you scored it correctly, for the rightful winner, so naturally those who scored it for the other fighter wouldn't have "correctly" assessed what happened in the ring. I have taken the approach that I have in order to challenge those who have strong opinions to articulate why you have come to your conclusions.

 

He beat Haney.

The only people that didn't think so were the three blind mice judging the fight and the idiot trolls in here.

Any proper boxing person knows who won that fight.

 

I am way too emotionally invested in this sport lol. I'm still seething about the result. The life of a boxing fan.

 

It's important to respect differing points of view. Need I remind you that boxing judging is subjective and everybody interprets what happens in the ring differently. What's important is how you support your perspective, how convincing your arguments are, and how you engage with those who see it different. Any proper boxing person recognizes this as a close match that could be reasonably scored either way.

 

This is now descending into a farce. People, mods ffs, are acting like it's their first time watching boxing.

ROBBERIES happen in boxing all the time and has nothing to do with EE fighters. It has all to do with HOME fighters getting the win over the away fighter. There are many examples every single week, at all levels. I see it every week at amateur level.

in a close fight the home fighter usually gets the win. If you don't know that by now or if that's too painful for you then boxing is not for you.

When it happens to lads in my gym, I tell them that we know who won the fight but what can happen is these lads lose interest in boxing and we never see them again. There's consequences to bad decisions.

Lomachenko is as popular as an away fighter can be, he almost has Pacquiao type love in the US. He lost a close fight ffs.

The joke is that some people are that heavily invested in Loma, that in a close round they are incapable of being impartial. So guess what they gave all the close rounds to him. Surprise surprise lol. You guys are starting to look stupid.

 

If you say so.

But the numbers don’t lie. It was a mildly close fight but certainly not close enough to give Haney a hometown decision.

This might not have been a robbery but it was pretty damned close. What I think is irritating a few of us is the lack of humility from a number of Haney fans in here. Some of us might be “invested” in Loma but I’ll give you the tip, we aren’t the ones not being “impartial” given Loma won the fight according to almost every learned observer. If you gave Loma half the close rounds he wins the fight. But clearly the “judges” gave virtually every close round to Haney. Round 10 was not even a remotely close round yet one idiot judge gave it to Haney anyway. Loma literally landed more than double what Haney landed in that round. It wasn’t a close round.

Perhaps if some of the outright Haney trolls in here acknowledged at the very least their man was extremely lucky to get the result a few of us wouldn’t be as irritated as we are.

 

Your tears are the best.
