Round-by-Round: Devin Haney vs. Vasiliy Lomachenko | ESPN PPV - May 20, 2023

[Ruthless-RKO]

De La Hoya on Haney-Lomachenko: “Trust Me, Loma Won; I Scored It 8-4!”

“Well, look, I was there, front row, center, I was watching the fight carefully,” De La Hoya told InsideFighting. “I had Lomachenko—and I love Haney, he’s one of the master boxers in the sport today—I had Lomachenko 8-4. Literally 8-4. Seven-five, at worst. Yeah, it was pretty bad.

“Hands down, Loma won. I was ringside, first row. I was just being a fan of these two guys. I wanted to watch this fight because it’s the undisputed world title fight. They don’t come very often. I was studying the fight carefully and trust me Loma won.”

“I would appeal it,” De La Hoya said. “They have a good enough case. I mean, you can watch that fight over and over and over again. It was 8-4, or 7-5, I mean, at worst.”

“If I was Loma, I would just move on to the next because I think the world knows that he won,” De La Hoya said. “Not even a rematch. I think Haney is now going to have that doubt in his head that he lost to Loma and could affect him against other opponents, like Shakur Stevenson.

“[Lomachenko] was landing a lot more punches. He was not only pressing the action, but he was landing a lot more effective punches and that’s how you win fights.”

i dont think duke's being racist, you can be black, white, red, green, brown and have big lips or a big nose etc.

Finally someone with brains here.

One guy is racist, the other a semi-illiterate troll that can hardly write a complete sentence. BFF's for sure.

[Lenny Cravats]

Stupid is to call it racist.

Ignorant and Racist. There I corrected myself. Don't defend a bad position.

How on earth is that racist?

It's a trope.
Like calling a Jew 'Big nose'. You wouldn't do it.

Ok so I just watched this thing.

First 3 rounds were all razor thin, but I always felt like the best shots getting in were Haney's body shots, and I had him winning all 3 rounds.

Loma eked out Round 4 for me even though the TV crew seemed to largely favor Haney which I found interesting. Loma again eked out the 5th, but nobody is especially dominant in these rounds to me.

3 rounds to 2 after 5.

Another slow round with Haney's body shots, and a few others stealing another quiet round.

Loma had the best round of the fight of either fighter up to this point, and won Round 7 handily I thought.

Round 8 and 9 Haney in my opinion gets the better of, but he admits to his corner that he's feeling like Loma knows what he's doing after the 9th.

After 9 I had 6 rounds to 3 for Haney.

Round 10 is a clear cut round for Loma. Clearest round of the fight.

Round 11 Loma absolutely kicks Haney's ass.

Round 12 it's close, and I felt Loma edged it.

I had it 114-114. It's Loma vs Lopez all over again in a lot of ways.

Btw, the big lipped idiot Haney also has a big nose.

Dude it just makes you sound like an idiot picking on someone’s appearance - you wouldn’t say it to Haney’s face, so why say it on here.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Loma releases statement

“I received a lot of messages from fans around the world. It’s very, very nice and I’m very happy to read your very, very warm words. I just wanted to say big thank you for your support, for the people who come to Saturday night and saw what happened that night.”

Nice turn by the dork, who tried to judge an intelligence of the others.
