    Loma-Haney

    The best vs the best is what everyone should be hyped about, not two contenders fighting for money.

    Loma v Haney without a doubt, not even close. With that said I will watch both, and be excited for both.

    about equal for me.
    i want to see what loma has left. how much hes declined. if his reaction time has slipped at all from his last fight, hes gonna eat jabs all night.
    but i also want to see if garcia is gonna live up to the promise. he has the tools to get the job done, now were gonna see how well hes learned to use them.

    Tank-Garcia could be a quick KO (for Tank) but has potential. Haney vs Loma will be a snoozefest. Loma is fun but against Haney it's hard to have a fun fight, specially if you're a technical. Nothing against Haney, he's a great talent. Just not too exciting.

    Without a doubt Loma vs Haney. A lot of people will favor Haney, but if you looked deeper at what has troubled Loma it isn't reach/size/strength (which he dealt with easily vs Nakatani and Comey), it's powerful counters. Haney doesn't have any power and doesn't really counter the way that gives Loma problems.

    Meanwhile, Loma's KO rate is low because he didn't begin his career with 25 KO1's like most pros, but he has a bunch of impressive stoppages and there are still questions about Haney's chin.

    Davis Garcia will be nerve racking because either can get the KO in one shot and a lot of "bad blood" is there

    Loma Haney is a good fight for undisputed on the line but it will be boring until Loma turns it up, and then Haney will clinch his way into another snooze fest to survive the assault.

    I believe that Haney will be the most historically significant of these fighters. But I also believe that Loma is simply a pushover for him so that it won't be a good fight. I mean sure it's good for putting the Loma train in the casket once and for all but that's its only purpose. Loma should never have been at this weight to begin with.

    I'm more interested in the result of Loma and Haney but I am more excited to watch Davis-Garcia. I expect the Haney fight to be a little bit too much like a chess match and not particularly exciting. That being said, it is an important fight and I will definitely be watching.

    Tank and Garcia should be more of a rock-em sock-em shoot out with a big moment ending.

    Loma a pushover for Haney? That's a bold prediction, Loma is not a pushover for anyone, and I will be impressed if Haney can make it look that easy

    I see those fights happening exactly as you suggest with caveat RyGa should last until mid fight and may surprise everyone w some vicious hooks along the way.

    Loma will have to keep it boring versus a taller, longer, heavier, and younger opponent. Loma should win a close decision but dont know if judges will give it to him
