    I agree, but Paro isn't Lomachenko.

    That's how he would win there in no way he hurts Paro. I just have a feeling that Paro being a southpaw will trouble Haney. Not saying Paro is on Loma's level but I think Loma being a southpaw caused a lot of trouble for Haney and I think all you need is above average power to hurt Haney.

    Paro to slow and no power. Haney easy night of work.

    He's better. You have to compare to where they are now. That fight was 3 years ago and Paro has won two world titles since. He had the fortitude to win one after he lost one. Not many can do that. Paro is one of the best Aussies ever. He'd beat Loma now and would have beaten him 3 years ago. Paro is the iluminati. I'm joking. I was just making the reference that Loma beat Haney that's all.

    Good sparring video although it does look like Haney was getting the better of Paro. You still think Paro has a shot against Haney?

    I would never count Paro out he has the heart of a lion. Haney would be the rightful favorite but I don't think the gap in class is as big as some think it is.

    I saw Lomachenko vs Haney for the first time..

    Haney is actually kinda underrated. He just has no power.

    Good boxing. That's the way you spar and box. A lot of dumb drongo's in ordinary gyms think boxing is standing on the spot throwing 100 straight punches in a row lol.

    Bad style matchup for Paro. He's not really a hitter and Haney is too big and long (Haney isn't too strong for him, it's just the size and length). The style that will dog Haney for the rest of his career....................that ain't Paro's style.

    Paro looked the better but Haney looked tired and slow, depends at what stage of his training camp he was at.
    Footage aside, I'd favour Haney to win on points.

    Haney outboxed him. Landed several good body shots.

    Haney wide on PTS in a dull affair. Good fight for the division though. I don't think Paro has really improved all that much since his loss to Hitchins and I think Haney beats him in similar fashion. His win over Matias is solid but his performance against Crocker wasn't especially inspiring, particularly when you compare it to how successful Haney was against Norman Jr.
