How did you score Lomachenko-Haney?

This sentence is in keeping with my earlier assessment.

Your output needs to be considered, but in reverse.

If we dispense with remotely this is true.

But one came closer than the other to suffering a KO loss.

 

Correct.

 

Which imo is rather unlikely if the fight were fair

 

Excellent point on the effectiveness of Haney's punches. I had picked Haney to win due to his size and youth. I came away with a diminished opinion of Haney as he never really hurt a much smaller man and I saw very little fight in him when Loma came after him late. I see a serious azz whippin for Haney if he veers his buggy into the aisle at 140 pounds.

 

I did see Haney winning the first 6 rounds.

Rounds 10 and 11 were obvious Lomachenko rounds.

I did think Haney won round 12.

Rounds 7 - 9 were close but I would give Haney at least one round.

So Haney won.

Overall I was not impressed with Lomachenko. Haney did good work with the jab, to the body, and pivoting to the right and landing with the straight right hand. Haney is a pretty basic Orthodox boxer but he does the fundamentals well. Throughout the whole fight Haney was scoring consistently with clear crisp punches Lomachenko had a few moments with flurries.

Rounds 10 and 11 Haney was fading. I think it was psychological. He knew he was ahead winning the fight and wanted the fight to be over. It shows his lack of inexperience and relative lack of maturity, in his defense he is still very young. And I am impressed how much Haney has improved and matured over the last few years.

For Lomachenko I believe this so called downloading of his is overrated, he conserves a lot of energy early in the fight by starting slow then jumps on his opponent later in the fight when they get tired. Haney used a lot of energy winning the first 6 rounds of the fight. But he did. And then Lomachenko was behind and had to make up for that but he didn’t.

 

Lomachenko 7-5.

 

Yeah Haney's punches to the body were so devastating that it had absolutely 0 effect and Loma was the one pushing all the action in the later rounds while Haney looked gassed lol. Loma's punches to the head were cleaner and just more quality shots even if they were fewer than Haney's "devastating" body attack. Quality > Quantity for me in close scenarios. I also liked the defense I saw from Loma and how he was able to control the distance with his footwork. I never felt that Haney was in control at any point in the fight.

As far as me not watching boxing, you're right and I said this many times myself. Sport has gone way downhill in the past few years and there are better sports that I can invest my time into.. I still catch some fights here and there but yeah, I'm very much a casual now, I don't really see that as a diss lol.

 

Terrible fight to score! I had it 7-5 for loma.
Haney look a weight class or two above loma.

 

Inside the ring, no. Outside the ring one could argue.

 

Yeah because Haney at best barely edging out the 12th due to neither guy really finding quality looks is proof how going to the body early pays dividends later on lol. Ignore the 5 previous rounds, who cares.

People are glazing Haney's body punches, there was nothing on them, to be honest they almost looked like grazing shots to me, IDK if they were but they had so little power I wasn't even sure if they were landing cleanly. It looked like rangefinder body shots.

Loma's power is underrated, he throws his shots moving forward so you have all that momentum coming at you and to me I felt they were more impactful, Haney's head would snap back more or he'd pause for a moment. When Haney lands his body shots Loma didn't even have any reaction lol.

 

Those last 3 rounds, school was in session and Professor Lomachenko busted Devin up to the point that Bill Haney didn't know what to tell his son. It was a **** show in the corner from Team Haney.

 

In the 10th and 11th, yes, but in the 12th Loma ran out of steam and Devin won that round to win the fight.

 

I just need to rewatch. If Loma took 12, then he wins on my card, but what about rounds 1-3? Did ypu score those for Loma as well?

 

Had it 7-5 Haney. I was confused as to why Loma took the 12th off. Wasn't a good choice. But the fight was so close that either winning or a draw would have been good

 

No draw option on the poll is hilarious.
