    Perhaps you misunderstood--I'm not on Team "Eastern Europe," so I have no bias against American fighters.

    And, though I'm an American, I'm not on Team "Floyd TBE."

    But I'm also not willfully or naively blind about the biases of different fan bases.

    I reckon if there was an immediate rematch Loma would've gone for the KO by stepping on the gas earlier. Haney is a lot more fragile than Canelo and Ward so there is a good chance that Loma could've gotten him out of there.

    I may not subscribe to the idea that Lomachenko was necessarily the rightful winner here, as I think it was ultimately too closely contested to pick an outright winner with any confidence, but I really appreciate the respectful disagreement. All too often these sort of discussions devolve into mindless personal attacks. :thumbsup:

    If the fight was that close surely it deserves a rematch. Loma wants it, it Haney that wont discuss it To me that shows which fighter truly believe they won that fight!!! Its not Haney hes avoiding it like the plague

    it’s a brutal one. it essentially determines his legacy.

    eventually, his actual performance will fade from memory and only the scorecards will remain, as what always happens with these kinds of fights. so we will remember Loma as an underachiever and a slight disappointment, rather than a true legendary fighter.

    fine margins…

    Close fights aren't robberies when are people going to realize this? Pea-jcc was a robbery no case could be made for jcc wining, pea won going away. Learn the difference between the two and you'll sleep better at night. Calling close fights where your fighter didn't get the nod is an injustice to real robberies period.

    You clowns are the ones that cry when people knowledgeable fans refuse to accept your cowardly heroes as winners when they plainly lost

    Whether its a close fight or a shut out the legitimate winner should get the win. Loma didn't & really it wasn't that close Haney got BEAT!!!!!!

    I had Loma winning but it was a close fight. What 7 clear rounds did Loma? Yeah that’s what I thought. You’re not going to list them out.

    So i come from a famous MMA forum and as i can see, people here are as delusional as in the MMA forum.

    There's no robbery, Loma was too timid and inactive against the champion, he lost fair and square.

    People are saying Loma is constantly getting robbed, which is ironically another proof of his limitations when it comes to greatness : he's constantly unable to get obvious wins against his opponents.
