Loma wasn't robbed

Yeah, what a classic, castillo-mayweather. If you cant properly score castillo mayweather, which is easy as F to score, how can you score yesterday's fight which is fairly difficult to score? you cant, obviously.

 

Anybody who actually believes Haney won this is a rank and file amateur when it comes to understanding the sport. Loma controlled the fight, he outlanded the Nose 127-110, 50 of Haneys punches were body shots that had no effect on Loma and most were effectively countered or only landed with an extended arm-meaning nothing behind them, Loma was never hurt by Haney while Haney was throttled in the 10th and 11th. The corruption of the judges scorecards says it all, giving Haney most of the rounds in the second half when Loma was clearly dominant. No, this was indeed a disgusting robbery, as virtually all fans, press, and fighters have stated Loma won.

 

Went right over your head, didn't it !

 

That's 5 rounds
And no, he wasn't inactive

 

Close fight, no robbery. People just don't like Haney and are mad he got the win. People just want a reason to cry and complain, this is a perfect example. I had total confidence in Loma going into the fight. I said on several occasions that he would beat Haney. Am I disappointed? Yes. I just don't see it as some major injustice. Like I stated in my OP, I gave Haney the 12th, but I also gave Loma the 1st 3 rounds, is there good reason to switch those rounds? Maybe. I need to rewatch.

 

Same argument can be made against Haney--he could've been more aggressive. Instead he fought scared and gunshy the last six rounds and let a 35 year-old man with over 400 fights walk him down. It wouldn't matter if Loma clearly took the 12th because the fight was fixed. Morretti is a mob guy, Vegas is a mob town. He's been doing this since the 70's, why do you think they didn't swap him for another judge when Loma's team protested the judge assignees? Byrd, same ****. Boxing is fake as **** and always has been. Big difference these days is you have fewer fighters willing to take dives so you have more fixers at the judges table.

 

havent scored yet but loma was pretty active early as far as applying pressure but his work rate came on later in the fight

i think haney did land plenty of quality rights to the body, check hooks, uppercuts and straight right hands that may have outweighed the quantity from Lomachenko. Close fight and very exciting

Going to watch it again and score it

 

I don't get the argument that Haney's body shots won him the fight. How exactly can you say that when Loma came on stronger at the end of the fight? Body shots, if effective, slow the other guy down and that very clearly did not happen to Loma.
