    From what I’ve seen online, not too many people are picking Loma and it seems like a foregone conclusion that Haney wins.

    I do believe that the 10 year age difference is a huge advantage for Haney but I’m not so convinced that Loma is done just yet.

    If I’m getting a nice dog price on Loma,
    I’m pulling the trigger without hesitation.

    Last time I checked my bookie the odds were set at +172 for Loma. Not very good odds.

    I hope Loma does beat him. There's still fight in him yet and fingers crossed he gets the job done. Either way it's going to be a fantastic fight, been looking forward to it for ages.

    Agreed but this is still close to a 50/50 fight so getting nearly double your money I’d take a shot for sure. I think $ will come in on Haney as we get closer and Loma’s odds will be better.

    Prime Loma was clearly superior to Haney p4p.

    Factor in Haney's substantial size advantage vs a faded Loma, and I make Haney favourite.

    I've nothing against Haney, who I think is very talented, if a little dull to watch, but I hope I'm wrong. I just doubt I am.

    It’s not so much the size advantage but the age difference imo

    On paper this is not a 50/50 fight. Loma's best win is a 7-5 victory over Gary Russell Jr. That was years ago. Haney would squash Russell like a little bug.

    Not really a shock, I expect him to stop Haney late.

    Hungry Loma is very dangerous, Haney is soft

    If you don't see size playing a part stylistically, then that's 1 thing, but there's clearly a substantial size difference.

    I do think size will play a part. Haney is naturally c.15lbs heavier. He is way rangier, that combined with his distance control and handspeed makes it difficult for Loma to outbox him from a safe, long distance. Being naturally so much lighter means Loma can't outmuscle him in close. It's possible Loma could outbox and outwork Haney in the pocket, I'd tentatively favour a prime Loma to do just thought, but not this Loma.

    He is at significant disadvantages in both age and size, imo. It will be a sensational win if he pulls it off.

    ITs the 20lb ring weight difference that is the issue IMO.

    I agree with what you said but you guys are acting like Loma is washed. Sure he didn’t look spectacular in his last fight but the motivation behind this fight is a whole different level. I believe that even now Loma can still outbox Haney if he’s on his A game.

    I don't think Loma is shot, he's still an excellent fighter and I don't totally discount him. I want him to win, think he's been a greater fighter than Haney (who is a very good boxer) ever will be. Its just at this stage, I favour Haney.

    Whilst 20lbs natural difference could be about right, i doubt it's quite that much in the ring. I think Loma is early 140's in the ring at LW, I doubt Haney is over 160lbs.

    I agree the size difference is both substantial and significant, though.

    Vasiliy Lomachenko is 2 times Olympic gold medalist, 2 times world gold medalist and 1 time European gold medalist.

    He had also 3 division world professional championships.

    On the other hand, Haney has 0 (zero) medals. Theoretically, he is a bum picked up from street.

    Loma will beat Haney black and blue and KO him around round 9.

    Lomachenko will dominate and KO Haney..... and it will be a shock to no one.
