How do you think the rematch will go? Loma-Haney

We need to drop this misconception. Styles are evident from the get go, footage available for years, Haney didn't figure Loma out in the first half and forgot about it nor Loma figured Haney out too late after months of prepping for the guy.

A boxing match is a grueling, long physical encounter with fighters rarely able to give 110% over 12. So Haney had the fast start & fast hands whereas Loma had the typical late start and smarts. EVERBODY incl. Lomachenko knew after the same type story vs. Lopez that he MUST push FULL 12 if he wanted to guarantee the decision or stoppage. Do you think he DECIDED that he'll cruise half the fight (incl. the 12th) or he WASN'T ALLOWED IN until his conditioning brought him in?

If anything, the 12th going to Haney proves that Lomachenko has equally limited stamina, just used at different parts of the fight, and like Clen in GGG rematches it's young Haney who learned what to do vs. the more experienced operator. Which is to pace himself better and win 9 rounds instead of 6. But neither really figured the other one out, one is just a fast starter, the other a late finisher and I'm a great boxing analyst.

 

It ends the same. Loma beats him and gets robbed of his victory.

 

I reckon with Anatoly and vast experience in his corner, Lomachenko is better suited to adjust in rematches, though ironically we've never seen him rematch anybody.

 

Loma most likely stops him in the rematch. Will be more than ready to counter those rights to the body. Also will REALLY step on the gas after he hurts devin again.

Let’s see if lowlife devin actually rematches him though.

 

Loma gave away the 12th round, that’s on him. I believe Haney hurt him to the body and zapped his energy. Haney’s body work was the difference in the fight, IMHO.

 

I think we see a repeat of the first fight. Loma doesn't do enough early on and comes on strong late and probably loses another very debateable decision.

In the two losses Loma has had against Lopez and Haney we've seen this pattern of Loma starting slowly and failing to get the decision despite a strong finish. It kind of reminds me of Hopkins at the end of his middleweight reign. Age is catching up to Loma, he simply can't work for 3 mins of every round for 12 rounds anymore, he has to ration his out put.

 

It's far more likely that Lomachenko punched himself after dominating Haney in rounds 10 and 11 than the latter's body work zapped his energy.

That said, Loma was more active/engaged in Rd 12 than many on here seem to believe.

Indeed, according to Compubox, Lomachenko threw 55 punches in Rd 12, a figure on par with his output in Rds 10 and 11.

 

I'd actually favor Haney, he was fighting on even terms with Loma for most of the fight (something being swept under the rug because of the controversy), what let him down was his engine late. It wasn't just that Loma had "figured him out", Loma had figured him out by round 3, he just had trouble with the dimensions and the fact that every time he touched Haney, Haney touched him back to the body when he couldn't get the head. He didn't expect that.

Haney coming undone and tiring helped Loma immensely, he can fight and still be a master of his craft late, he can still think and stay focused, Haney kinda fell apart. And to me that's what cost him the fight. If they can have Haney go 1-12 with the same focus and vigor, I think he "could" win a "deserved" decision.

And before anyone calls me a hater, I thought Loma won the fight.

 

Hard to see Lomachenko winning a rematch. He couldn't do anything truly significant for eight or nine rounds in the first fight and he's only going to get older. It's been three or four years since he's been the amazing boxer he was up until that point. He's still really good but he's not that guy anymore.

 

Not sure that people will buy a rematch. Not like this fight was filled with thrills. Any word on how many ppv's there were?

 

This

They pay even the Ukrainian judge so well he scores it for Haney

 

The putrid scum bag Haney escaped like a thief in the night I doubt he will ever have the balls to get in there with Loma again. He will have nightmares about Lomachenko for the rest of his life.

 

And I hope he does have nightmares but doubtful given the severely low voltage in that brain of his. But I hope that devin and his POS father stay real bitter about Loma having the vast majority vote
