Comments Thread For: Devin Haney, Vasiliy Lomachenko Make Weight For Lightweight Title Fight Saturday Night

[Cypocryphy]

He literally moved up over 5 years ago. Once a fighter moves up they are no longer a part of their past division. Was Mayweather still a junior lightweight when he fought Canelo? Absolutely asinine logic. Either you're too ****** to understand this or you just have your head up Lomachenko's ass

Lomachenko is fighting in the lightweight 135 pound division. Rigo is fighting in the bantamweight division, 118. He moved up 2 divisions to fight Lomachenko. They are clearly not the same size and that situation is not even close to being comparable to Haney-Lomachenko. You'll have to come up with another lie. You're clearly worried about this fight and I view it as 50/50.

Floyd was always considered a lightweight who moved up. He was always considered smaller than his opponents as he moved up. Look ... you're too dumb for me to argue with. I'm levels above you intellectually, so responding to you is a waste of time because you'll never catch up. Not to be rude but just need to be honest.

I asked once before , what is a fighter's "natural" weight?
If you make weight , you made weight.
Whether it was a smart decision or not will be left up to the fighter and the fight.

I'm guessing fighters should only be able to fight in their "natural" weight class then.
No fighting in the next weight class up unless someone says they aren't "natural" anymore.
Any suggestions on who should be given that job?

Naw bruh. He just exposed you badly.

You want Loma to win. You’re complaining about everything Haney the champ is doing, yet you never complained when Loma did it to Rigo because you wanted Loma to win.

Basically youre in your feelings that Loma is a challenger and is getting treated the same way he treated some challengers when he was champ.

There was a way to have avoided this- not do the emeritus thing and fight him long time ago as the champ. He didn’t so its in the past.

Loma isnt special and isn’t going to get special treatment. Just another contender. Haney had to suck it up when he was the challenger. Loma does to.

Don’t see how you can’t accept that.

No he wasn't. That's a lie. There were no rehydration issues brought up as an excuse before any of Mayweather's fights. I've never seen the amount of crying over rehydration for a fight outside of Lomachenko-Haney.

You obviously have delusions about your intelligence. You don't even understand the basics of the human body. Lomachenko's and Rigo are clearly not the same size but you're too moronic to understand that. You've also been caught in multiple lies. So not only are you obtuse, but also a liar. Not to be rude. Just being honest.

[joseph5620]

Imo at his age he cant make either or hed be there. Maybe he proves me wrong after this fight.

He brought Rigo up to 126. Rigo went back down his next fight, correct? Not sure the point youre making.

Haney is a LW. Stop crying about wright bully garbage. That should be beneath anyone with an account on this site.

All of your excuse making is disgraceful.

If Lomachenko loses this fight I seriously believe he'll have a mental breakdown. He's the worst kind of boxing fan.

No he wasnt .


Floyd wont be considered the best lightweight ever or at the top of that list.
Should he be sure .

But floyd will always be remembered as a welterweight . Young floyd was able to make 135 ,but he wouldnt have been able to remain there after 28-29

Yup. He will not show up.

He hid for a while after Teo won. Then he made every excuse, including the BS that the fight was a draw or Loma won.

IDK why he’s so scared. Loma is a live dog in this fight.

You Floyd nut huggers are too much. Duran is considered to be the best lightweight ever, by a large margin. Floyd can't even compare.

[low blows]

I wonder what happens in the event that they both come in weighing more than the 135 pound limit for the unofficial weigh in at 3 pm today?

They will both weigh what they weighed for the real weigh in. This is just show, the UFC does for every weigh in.
