Great win. I still pray for Loma to have enough in the gas to spank Shakur and the winner of Tank/Garcia.
Well, I'm not waiting that long. I've been saying Loma got this. If there is any one old fighter with one great performance left in them, it is Loma. No doubt in my mind, he comes in looking like a master technician and executioner. 8-4 Loma.
Yes and no. Personally, I think Devin is the hardest fight between the big lightweight names...stylistically and rankings wise (Devin is unified after all). So yes a victory for Loma would be a huge win and I think he would claim to be just above Usyk. However, one could still say no in that Devin only has one legit win in his career (Kambosos) and that, despite being unified, he hasn't truly faced that extensive list of opposition. I guess it depends on whether or not you think Devin is a bigger win than AJ.
Yep it would be justice. Funny that none of these guys wanted smoke with Loma until he was in his mid 30's
If Loma pulls this one out, he’s got a strong case. If Usyk beats Fury, you have to give the nod to the big man because he’s giving up so much size. Loma is also giving up massive size and age in the Haney fight so it’s close. I like Loma in this fight but he’s showing his age or rust (in his last fight). I hope he resurrects the guy from the Nakatani or Commey fight. Not sure if it’s inactivity or the situation in his country but he seems to be showing his age a bit more (in his last fight) although he is still great.
Loma unifying the titles with a Haney win … and following up defending them all against shakur is 1st ballot hall of fame however he won’t ever get the winner of Garcia v Tank Garcia win or lose goes to 140 Tank, if he wins , ducks that fight with no shame . He’ll ask to fight loma only after he’s been retired for two years
Loma is already an ATG. A win over Haney catapults him above Usyk, but if Usuk tames Fury it’s a draw between them. I like them both and hope they both end the year with signature wins.
He'd cement his legacy with a win over Haney But I wouldn't have him above Usyk. People don't appreciate Usyk's achievements at CW enough for me. Wins over Gassiev, Breidis, then AJ twice eclipse Loma's wins over Linares, GRJ and Haney if victorious although it'd be a very close comparison. Loma needs to beat Haney for that to happen though.
