Loma wasn't robbed

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.
