Comments Thread For: Crawford Surprised by Haney-Loma Outcome, Says Haney Would Be In 'Tough' Fight with Tank

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Terence Crawford came away a bit concerned by Devin Haney's latest performance. Twenty-year-old Haney fended off veteran three-division titlist Vasiliy Lomachenko over 12 highly competitive rounds last Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas to remain the undisputed champion of the lightweight

Haney is a good fighter but he can be touched. Personally I was a bit surprised how Loma was taking the fight to Haney down the stretch. I figured Haney’s size and technical ability would be too much for little Loma.

Loma is the ****. I expect the other guys to struggle with Haney if he fights them, to be honest. Even though I saw Devin clearly lose, it was his best performance to date.

If Haney stays at 135 then Tank Davis is the best fight to make next. Continue the PPV run against an exciting puncher who just had a huge audience watch his last bout.

Loma is skillwise a better boxer than Tank. People get fooled by Tank's average oppo made to make him look good. Tank won't easely put hands on Haney.

But that power is for real, Haney would sure be in danger.


50-50 fight IMO

Anybody surprised at the outcome probably didn't know how special Loma is. That was a super close fight that should've been a draw or a split decision for either man so please stop the "robbery" cries.. Devin can't hurt Tank so he better box him and not try to "fight" him.

Not me. I wanted Haney to win, at the same time i knew it was going to be tough because the jab doesn't work well against the southpaw unless its used to break the rhythm. Haney has a one-two combo but doesn't throw a consistent straight right. that's why Loma took the chances and was successful back and forth. I had Haney winning very close

That was a very good version of Loma that night. He was fit and had his legs, and he was aggressive and letting those handd go all night. I scored the body work from Devin but I still had Loma winning by a few rounds. When Loma attacked Devin was flailing his arms at times, he looked confused. He never got hit in his face that much. He fought back hard, but it seemed like he was always reacting to what loma was doing and one step behind.

“I always say Devin beat Tank, ‘nah mean? The way Lomachenko was landing them left hands on Haney, it’s gonna be kind of tough for Haney to win getting hit like that from Tank,” Crawford said.

Bud knows! Tank hits different! Haney needs to go to 140, or fight Shakur! Tank is all wrong for him!

I saw the fight like everyone else and thought Loma started off quicker than we are used to seeing. Loma had great positioning around the ring and was catching Haney with left hands all night long. Haney was active too when he started investing in the body shots early hoping to sap energy from Loma and take him to the later rounds. Loma was getting hit with the right hand all night long. However Loma had a higher work rate during the course of the fight with Haney. He had Haney hurt in round 10 and 11 and I thought could've dropped him. I had the fight at 7-5 for Loma but even if they didn't give it to Loma then a draw would have been more appropriate with a mandatory rematch. Haney and his father will not fight Loma again because they know they were lucky to get the decision.

With the way that Haney was performing doing the fight which I thought was good, he should stay clear of Davis and Stevenson. The minute he fights one of those guys, he can say good bye to his titles. Haney should fight a tomato can or two to work on his defensive skills before fighting one of those guys. Haney's behavior after the fight was arrogant and he knows that deep down in his heart he loss that fight. His father knows it too.
