    Again, not even saying I think Haney won, just that argument ad populum, especially argument ad populum ex social media consensus is a horrible argument, because it is. Smooth brained logic to use to justify your beliefs.

    Saying "The sky is blue because loads of people on Twitter agree with me" is a dog **** argument, regardless of whether or not the sky is blue, ya get meh?

    Exactly. And I made the same argument in Canelo GGG 1 and 2. Many close rounds, and I get that fans are going to passionately argue their scoring, but the blind spot has always been that many fans who try to claim robbery fail to acknowledge how close many of the rounds were that lead them to claiming a robbery.

    In my home village we have a saying: Unka unka puan nu sim oop tu pau dai pu say.
    Loosely translated: The sound of the fang of the eagle against life's chalkboard in the sky is an annoyance before it is the sound of death, yet that annoyance does become that secondary sound afterward.

    Haney will rebound from this victory even stronger. THAT is what I am saying.

    I thought it was gonna be a split or majority decision. The 8-4 card was ridiculous though.

    But the problem is there is a pattern for scoring close/competetive fights for the house fighter. If this happened once in a while no one would bat and eye but the cases of Kovalev, Golovkin, hell even scoring in previous Loma fights have been dubious to say at least, all show that it's not just a matter of different opinion.

    I also got Loma winning but i thought the fight was close enough for Haney to have an argument.

    Just look at the amount of fighters, at the fight or otherwise, saying Loma won. So can say what you like about "internet guys", the people in the sport think Loma won as well.

    And a close fight can be a robbery when things like Moretti giving round 10 to Haney happen, or when there is a general consensus on the winner

    Of course, when it came to GGG/Canelo 3 you were happy to quote fan scores ;)

    Save yourself the time and hassle, shadow is a ‘bot poster’ employed by BF24.

    Controversy = posts
    Posts = conversions
    Conversions = money

    You’ll notice ‘he’ is online almost 24/7 and is never banned :squezer:

    Shadow is a borderline nut, not a bot. A bot is not sexually aroused by Canelo's sweat and would have tired long ago :D

    I get you sure. What I am not sure about is why you are saying that to me.
