    Haney is way naturally bigger than Linares, Linares is way naturally bigger than Loma. Not rocket science.

    Haney is a natural 147 or at worst a big 140 who boils down to beat up on 135 pounders, Loma is a natural 126 who moved up not once but twice because he was being ducked by the other champs at those weights or unification match ups at those weights couldn't be made for whatever reason.

    And Linares was Loma's first fight at the weight, against an opponent who had at least 7-8lbs on him, 3.5 in reach, who can really crack and who hadn't lost in six years. Loma fought a much better version of Linares and Linares is not the kind of fighter you want to be giving away a significant amount of weight and reach to because not only was he lightening quick and highly skilled back then but his considerable power will be magnified against much naturally smaller opponents, whereas against much naturally bigger ones like Haney it will be the complete opposite.

    if Lomachenko is healthy, he outboxes him.

    Loma traps him in The Matrix in round 1, snips his balls by the 4th and has him crying to his daddy.... let me out, No Mas! No Mas! by the 7th.

    Let's see, if Loma beats Nakatani, that he should not have problems with haneys height and reach. :flamethrower2:

    I do believe Loma is overrated but he can probably beat the Haney we saw tonight.

    Haney moves in straight lines & lacks the power Lopez has.. he's quick & naturally bigger but I'd expect Loma would make him fold , Linares had him unraveling a bit towards the end & he's a come forward straight lines guy, imagine Loma dancing round him.. don't forget too the Lopez fight was close & Loma was carrying an injury.. in fact he's pretty much injured in all of his contests these days & still looks more impressive than most of the younger fighters :lol:

    Not sure, if Lopez who is huge if compare with Loma and good body puncher didn't managed to stop Nakatani, Loma most likely does have even lesser chances to stop Nakatani.
    While, yeah, Nakatani is lanky and tall, must be more sensitive to body punches and Nakatani core is larger target than Lopez or Linares core.

    People forget Loma bottled it vs Lopez, it wasn't so much Lopez winning but Loma losing.
    He is still an amazing boxer who would beat everyone 135 and under, including Lopez in a rematch

    Haney's long, fast, and elusive, qualities that will undoubtedly trouble Lomachenko, particularly in the first half of the fight.

    Nevertheless I think Haney's lack of power will invite Loma to get in and stay in range earlier and more often than he did against Lopez.

    Indeed, even against Teo, once Loma felt comfortable enough to operate within range of the latter's heavy artillery, he had considerable success despite the size and age difference.

    I suspect Loma gets "comfortable" against Haney much sooner and boxes his way to 115-113 type decision.
