    Tarver has said in an interview that if Loma wasn`t scared of Haney`s power he should have engaged more during the fight, is he right?

    I agree that he should have taken more risks and Loma giving away that 12th. But not on the whole BS you have to take the belt away from the champion thing. I hate that argument.

    That's two losses now by Loma where he should have taken more risks. He was terrified of Teo for the first 6 rounds.

    It does hurt watching that 12th. It's almost inexplicable. Surely he'd have the rematch bagged if there was a draw.

    Them belts have been passed around like your local hooker at 135, undisputed means squat, I agree Haney hasn't really earned that status. None of them are the cream of the crop. Loma could have been if he didn't wet the bed against Lopez and father time didn't have grip of him.

    Usyk was clearly the cream
    Fury is clearly the cream
    Berterbiev & Bivol are clearly the cream
    That child like Japanese fighter is clearly the cream
    Loma was the cream but he soured

    Wonder if he’d feel that same way if someone brought up the first Ward vs Kovalev fight! :buenrollo:

    “Ohh but that was different doe”

    Tarver is also a sore loser like when he lost to a shell of Rjj

    I saw Lomachenko as the more aggressive and more active fighter.

    No, he kept getting Haney on tyhe ropes then let him go, he spent large periods of rounds doing nothing but feinting and moving, he kept letting Haney into the fight.

    He didn’t “let” Haney into the fight. Both of them fought very well and appeared to be equally matched. Loma is not some super talent who just decides to let his opponents win rounds.

    I hate that have to beat the champion bollocks. It reminds me a bit of people criticizing an ATG list even though there is no actual criteria for ATG.

    But yes, I can agree with the should have done more part.

    He clearly hit him at will, he couldn`t miss with his straight left he just wouldn`t unload, you clearly saw him hit Haney with combos, have him on the ropes then just let him go.

    Even with the champion bonus, Devon did not beat Loma.But you could give it a draw and with that the champion retains his belt.
