    Yes, the Loma-Haney debacle still makes me sick as well. It was so disgusting yet so predictable. Loma always gets the short end of the stick.

    I've never quite gotten over Kovalev vs Ward (1&2). Not only were these fights the final nail in the coffin for HBO, they exposed boxing for the disreputable political monstrosity it is rather than an organized sport.

    Yep if Haney wasn't such a massive dude who dehydrates like a zombie he would've been on his butt. The size difference was the only thing that stopped Loma from putting him on his butt he was ready to go in the 10th and 11th but the sheer size of him kept him on his feet.

    Fully agree. The flight of the concords is icing on the cake.

    I agree, Loma won by about 3 points or so

    Even Haney knows he lost that fight, but they weren't going to give it to the ageing Eastern European.. the American boxing establishment needs to build its next gen of Mayweather wannabes at all costs.. like you & many others I don't think that fight was even close, I think it was a clear cut Loma UD. Yes for whatever reason he didn't turn up for Lopez, I can't argue that one ... but this was a flat out robbery! I'm almost on autopilot with boxing these past few years I just dip in and out, i don't bother with it like I used to do.. and I don't think that the future is looking too great for the sport in general, I bet in 20 years it's probably not even going to exist unless in a very niche way..

    Well I think Lomachenko did actually lose to Salido and Lopez on scorecards, although the Salido fight should've been a DQ win for Lomachenko due to how many low blows Salido landed.

    But I had Loma beating Haney 7-5.

    We've had to suffer some egregious robberies down the years, but I'm not sure this one qualifies.

    7-5 type deal that could have conceivably gone either way depending on your criteria and/or allegiances.

    Loma was robbed, because he is not from US/UK. it's that simple.


    Loma still has a chance to become a champion at 130.

    I believe he can still stop all 130 champions at the age of 36
