    Because your favorite man didn't get the nod in the close fight then it automatically became the robbery. I see this over and over again not only here in this boxing site but everywhere as well. Haney vs Loma was a close fight that could have gone either way. It wasn't a robbery.

    You’re right, it’s such a close fight that could’ve went either way that the majority of scorecards all over the Internet favored Loma.

    The fact that you felt the need to go out of your way to start another thread on this shows you are in some way emotionally invested, so your thought process naturally is clouded. Just watch the fight again with the volume down and with your emotions intact. You will see why everyone except you thinks Loma won. On the other hand you can just take offence to my reply and remain emotional, and give me a pointless reply. Your choice

    So, if it was a close fight, and wasn’t a robbery - how the hell did Haney win 118-110?

    Turn the other cheek, this is no different than GGG vs Canelo 1.

    Boxing is ****ed. This is the reason undefeated fighters refuse to fight each other now.

    It went for the home fighter. It always does.

    IT was close, but clear.

    Yeah....I saw that. I just want to clarify this with people who do not know how to distinguish a close fight and a robery. When your favorite boxer get beaten in a close fight then don't use the word robery to express your feeling. A robery has nothing to do with a close fight.
    Nah....it has nothing to do with my emotion. It seemed that you didn't understand what I tried to say or explain. If Loma had won this fight then I would have said the same thing above. All I wanna tell you people is when your favorite fighter get beaten in a close fight then don't call it a robbery since a robbery has nothing to do with a close fight. So, in this case it doesn't matter to me Loma or Haney won this fight since it was a close fight. Besides, I am a big fan of Loma not Haney.

    Who gives a **** what dumbass mouthbreathers on the internet who by in large, don't like Haney and love Lomachenko think? Since when has ad populum been a good argument?

    You could post a video of Mayweather boxing a rock and people hate him so much they'd say he lost lol, Haney's in the same boat.

    "The majority of the internet says it's true" wtf :duh

    Winning the fight is different to winning the story, and quite often people get the 2 mixed up.

    This was a very very close fight, however Loma was definitely won the story of the fight

    I had the first Wilder vs Fury a draw. Let´s not forget that Fury did get knocked down twice.
