    You must be new to boxing. Anyone, anytime, for any reason, can get screwed on the scorecards. It's a fact of boxing life.

    Haney's team is smart in using every advantage possible. Follow that Mayweather blueprint. Get the weight advantage, get the age advantage, etc. Never go in straight up or that 0 will go. Loma has to live out the rest of his life with poor team decisions.

    Do y'all think this is going to be a remembrable fight?
    It's 2 tacticians going against each other, so it could not live up to its hype, especially if Haney is able to dominate on the outside.
    This one could go either way. Maybe it's the gloomy day where I am, but I'm thinking it's going to be less fireworks and more tactical.

    I think Loma knows he has to go balls to the wall. He won’t get this chance ever again.

    Agreed.

    I suspect that Lomachenko will attempt to push the pace and press the action much earlier in the fight, similar at least philosophically to the approach he used against Commey and the Japanese kid.

    No, I think it will be a low volume tactical fight, and once Loma tries to get an offense going Devin will begin his excessive clinching.

    Haney doesn't believe in his offense enough for that to happen, he literally needs to punch & then grab hold of his opponent right away, rarely have seen him attempt a combination of more than 2 punches as well.

    Yup felt the same way regarding Loma as he needs to come with a different attitude & go for broke.

    I think people are not factoring them bringing the weigh in forward to 36 hours before the fight into their thinking. That's insanely advantageous for Haney and it changes everything. He already had a huge size advantage as it was.

    I also predict Haney will lie about how much he weighs too.

    Fury Chisora 3 was £26.95 on BT box office.......you can't explain that when you get these 2 fights for free.

    Because Fury is a draw, and Haney and Loma are not. Especially in the UK. Not very hard to explain...
