Undisputed lightweight champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) talked about his May 20 PPV clash against former three-division champion Vasiliy “Loma” Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
“I know he’s training for a dirty fight,” stated Haney at Thursday’s media workout in Las Vegas. “He wants to get in and get as dirty as possible in the clinch. That’s what I’ve heard that he’s training for. We’re just preparing for whatever he brings to the table. We know the type of fight that he wants.
“I’m happy that finally I get my shot at him. The tables have turned. It feels good that the tables have turned. Now I’m the guy giving him the shot. I’m happy that I get to prove myself.”
Here’s another fighter, I can’t wait to see lose. Haney is losing to Loma. Unanimous decision with Loma peppering Haney with his jab and lefts.
I hope you are right but unfortunately I think Haney wins this one. Hopefully I’m wrong.
I bet you wont put money up on that certain outcome. You would have said the same when Loma fought Teo.
You want to hate the guy thats giving your guy a shot at all the titles instead of giving him praise for taking the challenge.
That shows who the boyfans are.
I dont like Loma because he ran from this fight. Now that he has nothing, he’s willing to fight a guy he’s not sure to beat.
Im a Boxing fan of fighters who want to give fans the best fights. Not to upkeep a bs p4p narrative.
You only like those franchise boys so you can keep cheerleading instead of giving a real fighter his respect. .
NJ boxing. Let me guess, you like Stevenson too? Anyways. Bet I would put my money where my mouth is. You know nothing of boxing or me. Franchise boys??? Loma is a 126 maybe 130 fighting at 135 against a guy who will be 150 or more on fight night. That part it is was it is and part of the game. Loma is a true warrior and helluva fighter. You said it yourself you don’t like Loma, but you choose to denigrate anyone that has a different opinion than yours. Garbage. First of all, Haney when he was the #1 contender, who had he fought then ? No one. Why would Loma fight Haney for a fight no one would have cared. As far as I’m concerned, Haney still ain’t fought anyone. Kamboso? Please.
Cheerleading? Wow, you must be on one today like your period or something. Real fighters…. Loma is not a real fighter? Stop, and learn about boxing before you post your garbage again.
Haney’s dad will im you if you keep dissing boy-man..
Similar to the Davis vs Garcia fight, this is a good match up on paper that I fear will turn out quite boring.
First, Loma is very fun to watch and it’s amazing he can compete at 135 when 130 and possibly 126 are much better weights for him. His size limitations are going to be a real issue in this fight.
2nd, Haney is more track star than slugger and his speed and reach will make this an easy night. The odds of it getting dirty seem pretty slim.
Boring 12 round Decision for Haney. They’d better have a couple other interesting fights on the card or I’ll plan on reading about it.
I disagree. Loma is quite good against runners because of his short punching and quick footwork. Its the one that can dig in and knock him away with power or physicality. Its why he embarrassed Rigo but lost to Teo. If all that Haney brought to the table was running it would be an easy night for Loma. But theres more to Haney than that.
That said there’s a lot of unknowns in this fight. Loma might be slowing down nowadays, and at a higher weight he might simply be pushed off or stifled in the clinch, since refs never do anything about constant holding but have a heart attack if one hold and hit punch is thrown. Its annoying but thats the state of refereeing currently.
I think it will be an interesting fight, battle of the distances and counter punching.
Limo and s a great fighter but Haney has too much speed and power… I predict a stoppage somwhere in the later rounds…. Haney the victor…
Loma should out think Haney. Size is a huge difference but Loma ain’t no Kambosis..
Yea cause you’re worse than a koala bear bro.
