Great fight. I was there. High level boxing. But everyone knows Loma got it. You continue to insist otherwise. I think you even scored it a draw but continue to push an agenda that Loma wasn’t robbed. The entire boxing public saw this a competitive fight skill wise but Haney did not do nearly enough in most rounds to actually win this fight.

I’m a huge fan of the body shot and I think it is highly underrated. But I’m also a giant fan of defense. And when a guy is hitting you with punches in bunches with both hands and your head is being snapped back round after round you are not winning.

This fight was scored poorly to say the least. Not Haney’s fault at all. But Loma deserves this win. He worked harder and is the better fighter.

Those PPV numbers seen realistic. Which makes the Davis vs Garcia numbers seem very suspect considering the multiple “buys” by people like me who we’re trying to watch the fight on DAZN but were unable to.

It was a great fight. And the undercard card was stacked with entertaining matchups. If fans are upset with the decision. That’s fine because it’s inherent to every sport. As is unpopular and or questionable rulings by sports officials. All the self flagellation because “Boxing is the most corrupt sport”. Is both naive and ill-informed.

That Gomez-Pintor fight was brilliant. I remember watching it live and being in awe of both fighters.

115-113 , Loma!! Moretti shoulda been hung upside down @ ringside so the fix money would fell out his pockets.

It was a close fight but Loma won, even if your biased towards Haney at most he got a draw but as per usual the vast majority got it right in that Loma won the fight simple as.

Dan, Appreciate your work and devotion to sport. The irony here is Loma was considered the amateur Hall of Famer, yet the only way you could say Haney won, if this was scoring for amateur fight. Pro Boxing is about CLEAN & EFFECTIVE punching and Loma definitely had way more of that. He threw more, landed more, and hurt Dev several X's. Haney had some success but people that are saying the "body work". Yes Haney did good work to body, but it's as if they feel body shots should be counted double or triple compared to head and other shots. (ridiculous) More importantly Loma a +200 underdog pre-fight and then was consensus -500 favorite going into last round at all the sportsbooks. That don't happen if he is not clearly ahead. Sportsbooks don't get live lines wrong like that, unilaterally, unless something funny going on. Please acknowledge the FACTS!!
