Trust me, Haney looked good versus a compact fighter with good reflexes but no skill. He would get dominated by Loma. Same people who thought Rigo would smash Loma are the same that think Haney has chance. It'd be 12-0 or 11-1 Loma, I guarantee.
Rigo is a tiny goblin, he’s no Haney. These emotional takes are way off. I like Loma a lot more than Haney but I don’t see it being easy.
Doubt it but I would love to see. I envisioned Haney used his size and length with doing his best jab and grab style. He’ll bore it out B Hop style.
Loma would Usyk the crap out of his size and land over the top counters and break him down with his speed. Haney would look flustered and unsettled and then start going for big shots and getting countered hard to the body
Nah that’s not Haneys style. And I could absolutely see Loma box his ears off. I think whomever the ref is would play a big part on the style of the fight.
I see Loma stopping Haney just like he did Nakatani. It's so sad to see people making their own history, but Loma is the one who actually get those belts one by one. One fight and you have all the belts ? and suddenly you are great ? It's just not fair.
Please find just one poster on here who has said that A) Rigo will smash Loma AND B) Haney has a chance to beat Loma Just find me one poster please.
Multiple posters have said this have they not ? i mean realistically he does have a chance, but not a good one
Loma could still conceivable beat Haney, but his chances are diminishing. Lopez created a nice blue print for Haney to follow, Loma is a bit small for the weight class, and he is aging. He better make the fight happen now or he will get beat next year.
Loma would probably beat overwelm Haney and win a clear decision. Haney simply has no power to bother Loma and isn't that good on the inside. Loma would simply run through him If i were Haney i wouldn't box with Lomachenko. I would just go in there, weight bully him to the max, push him around to dismantle his rhythm and rough him up on the inside. Thats Haneys only chance of winning
Problem is, Loma already knew his weakness and he have been improving this area. Normally, a boxer of his size would be having problem with Nakatani, let alone Commey. But since his loss to Lopez, he already learned to fight people bigger than him and how to deal with brute strength. I sincerely regret that Lopez lost and went up weight class leaving no opportunity for Loma to avenge his loss. The only way Haney can win against Loma is if the latter injures his arm again. There is no way for Haney to crack open Loma's masterclass defense.
Disagree. Nakatani never used his size to rough house Lomachenko. He only tried to use his size to keep the distance from Lomachenko, which failed for obvious reasons. Even Commey temporarily had success walking Loma down in spots but when he reverted back to staying behind a jab at the beginning of another round Loma ate him up. Everytime an oppenent roughs Loma up he angles out and resets, giving said opponent opportunities to land multiple shots, although Loma is still hard to him trying to move out of range This is Lomas one big weakness. A fighter like Issac Cruz or Jojo Diaz would give Lomachenko nightmares because they would try to pressure and brawl him Loma loves to stalk and is a very good infighter but he has to get a continuous rhythm going overwelm fighters. Haney is an easy style match up for Loma and would lose badly if he fought Loma the same way he fought Diaz, Linares and Kambosos, but if he were to bully Loma, smother his work, drag him into a dogfight and doesn't give up any ground, he could win.
That is literally the worst thing Haney could do. His only hope is to run and jab. Lomachenko would throw Haney around on the inside, Haney is a weakling and Lomachenko can wrestle and punch on the inside. Haney can’t do a thing on the inside.
This is insanity. Cruz could rough Loma up, Diaz is a weakling and wouldn’t be able to do anything. A dogfight usually doesn’t go well for a taller fighter, they’re giving up their advantages. You expect Haney to win by using his weakness? What are you talking about?
