I don't like the shove...seems more like a Tank move and an attempt by Haney to hype it up but doesnt seem like his character...I remember when Haney tried to be a KO artist against Linares and got caught after dominating the fight for several rounds and wound up with spaghetti legs and was holding on like a mad man....I don't like when Haney goes out of his character...he grew up in Floyd's gym and is trying the antics to promote himself and that is admirable but against Loma, I would prefer if he just stays within himself

I hope the shove is a one off and an attempt to sell the fight and not an indication of the fight plan...a boring fight where people are booing means Haney is winning...he shouldnt try to match Tank and Shakur's recent performances...neither of them were fighting Loma (even this older version of Loma is better than Ryan)...very important for Haney to keep his composure in this one

I think they are looking at a Cruz rematch...if Haney wins tonight, he will demand a Tank fight...shit, if Loma wins he will do the same ...gonna get increasingly difficult for Tank to avoid those fights
He could fight another woman before Haney or Shakur. Tank loses to both. Shakur will give him his first standing-8 count, then stop him. Haney by split decision.

Yeah I think it was an attempt to sell the event.
They need all the eyeballs they can get.
Fans are suffering from PPV fatigue already.
Tank/Ryan, Canelo/Ryder now this all in a span of a month.

And this one is the best priced one and the most important one but looks like it will suffer the most

Lets see what happens with Haney tonight...if he wins, I think any match up between the 3 is close to 50-50 with an edge to Shakur (who is the most talented) especially if they fuck around and let him get comfortable at 135...speaking of comfort at 135, if Haney wins he may be in a bad position as he is too big for 135 but may really suffer with his power deficit at 140

I see Haney moving up to 140, only fight what's lucrative enough to make him stay at 135 would be Tank but I don't see Haney agreeing to that rehydration clause that Ryan and Barrios both had so i see a lot of obstacles in that fight being made

Yeah Haney will have to move up because grown men walk around weighing 135! :roflmao:

He probably walks around maybe 160 or more and it's rough getting to 135.

Binge watching all these Spence/Crawford fight breakdowns and these kats aren’t seeing this shit through the right lens. Only the guy who fought both (Porter/Garcia) is keeping it real. Danny Garcia is on point but noncommittal. Spence is bigger, hits harder and has the jab that moves you. I’m not talking head-snapping; the jab relocates MF. Spence’s flaw is he comes in recklessly with that lunging thing he does where if he misses he is WIIIIIIIIIIIDE open for the counter. Spence has rarely dealt with volume shots and that’s Crawfords ONLY way to win. Crawford had to catch Spence coming in, wobble him and finish with volume. He can’t just blast Spence out. Spence needs to be ready for the southpaw attack and not head hunt because Crawford moves too much and slips extremely well. The counter wins this fight.

I’m gonna say Crawford wins with a 10th round stoppage.

I'm going with the dude who fought the tougher competition. I got Spence winning. He's the more fundamentally sound fighter. Errol got the better jab, better punch placement, and he fights on the inside. The extra point is he has the better coach in his corner. Bud always starts out slow and Errol gets stronger as the rounds go on. I can see Bomack putting down them snacks and picking up that towel around round 9. That's just how I see it.

Teo and his pops...:smh:




I got a newfound respect for Mark Kreigel after this. I thought ESPN was just going to roll over and not confront this lunatic about none of his antiblack comments at all.

Jaime Mungia need to keep Charlo name out of his mouth from here on out.

This mofo is letting Derevyanchenko piece him up. ‘Mal had 0 problems with this dude. Not to mention ‘Mal fought the younger and fresher version too.
