Lomachenko will have to at the top of his game especially as he's a guy who could easily still make featherweight if he wanted to and with his age, the number of fights he's had he's clearly not as good as he once was. Lomachenko's walk around weight is only 2lbs above the lightweight limit whilst Haney is a massive lightweight and when they stand next to each other Haney looks like a full blown welterweight. On top of that Haney's far younger, even more so in ring age with far less fights even more so with hard fights with only the crude Kambosos not being washed up when they fought and Haney usually dictates gloves, ring size and so on and it will be the same here. Personally i'm hoping Loma still has enough skill to overcome the disparities for one more fight. He's always the travelling fighter and i always appreciate the fighter who has natural obstacles to overcome which they can only do with superior skill. Thanks for the chat and enjoy the fights.

Fingers crossed Loma wins and can retire as a great. Hes fought everyone despite them being naturally far bigger men and won on sheer ability and superior skill. Hopefully those repeated top ;lvel hard fights don't effect him and he pulls of the win and can retire as a modern great.

Great Fight. I know a lot of folks anointed Loma a HOF'er before he even stepped in a pro ring. But imho, both he and Haney absolutely need this victory to be legitimized as Top Tier Pros. Haney has time to recuperate from a loss. But how many times can Loma lose in his toughest fights? His best victory over a chronically inactive Gary Russell, only diminishes more everyday. And his losses versus Salido and Teofimo are glaring. Add a potential loss to Haney in another big fight, and he's absolutely not HOF worthy. I don't weigh Amateur accomplishments all that much. It's like being a Pro Football HOF'er for winning the Heismann Trophy.
