I still can't get over the Loma Haney robbery and I never will

The word robbery became trivialized in Boxing.

 

I agree that 4 is the maximum number of rounds you can give Haney against Loma, while 2 is also possible.

For your own sake, don't let anything bother you, let alone the result of a fight. Boxing is corrupt, which is completely unfair for Loma, who is clearly p4p number 1 but has been corrupted in all of his losses and lost belts. Accept it.

Are you going to do something? Petition against those who are corrupt? Hunger strike? Stop watching boxing?

I was in the same position as you. Either stop watching boxing or accept it is completely corrupt. Both options are shyte but there are few other alternatives, apart from ranting on a forum where very few know anything about the sweet science and almost all have an agenda.

 

A draw was probably a fair result between Loma and Teo, noting one armed Loma was dominating and beating up Teo after round 6/7, apart from taking his foot off the throat in round 12. Loma was clearly the dominant fighter, but the early rounds, which had very low punch output, were all given to Teo by a jab to the shoulder. This is where the must system is flawed and where corruption can change a result - just give all close rounds to whoever you want to win. The round is very close, most people dksab and don't know what a blocked punch looks like.

 

This argument irks me. This is like saying the score was 2-1 in the champions league final so it could have gone either way.

Firstly, Haney didn't win 5 rounds, there is no way that is true unless you are bias.

Secondly, it is 8-4, that is the score. If the judges know how to score there is one score, like when a goal is scored in soccer that counts. If there aren't even 5 rounds for Haney, it is a robbery, regardless of whether it was 12-0 or 7-5. This argument is how the corrupt boxing promoters ensure adoption of the result by the masses. It was close therefore it was not a robbery, therefore it was fair - ie it was close therefore it was fair.

 

This about sums it up for me as well. I know a bunch of bull**** will occur, but I'll keep watching and buy most of the PPVs and subscriptions then ***** about how they suck the next day. Thing is, are there enough of us fools-for-boxing to continue to generate the profits they expect? For the fighters to continue to get the money they feel entitled to for their efforts? I'm not sure there is.

Not really holding my breath ,but am hoping eventually for a boxing-market crash the likes of which will dwarf the stock market one that kicked off The Great Depression of the 30's. Bring them all back to reality.

That said, what's up next? Rougarou vs Haney?

 

That theory has been debunked many times over, come on.

 

Knowing Rodney he probably gave Haney all the rounds hahaha

 

There's a lot to disagree with here, most notably that absurd football analogy, but I would rather agree to disagree and move on. These 14 pages have been a dumpster fire. Basically one side shouting at the other for 14 unproductive pages of mindless hysterical fandom.

 

Haha Cotto is definitely up there with the likes of Marquez & co when it comes to crying & moaning in delusions.

 

There is absolutely no race based polarisation that defines support for boxers.

 

Fights are scored on punches landed, not aggression, not punches thrown:

Loma should not be disadvantaged because the casual boxing watcher can't differentiate, and is therefore easily persuaded to believe any narrative.

 

I wouldn't rely your point on these too much, how would they even equate power & the effectiveness of those punches for example, seems to be something just to play with.

 

Surely you jest if you don't believe tribalism (race, ethnicity, etc) is and always has been an ugly if nevertheless noteworthy undercurrent in boxing.

 

I had Loma by a few rounds.

 

Same .. Haney is a fraud...and will get found out real soon ..
