A wonderful promo vid, I didn't fully appreciate it until I watched it back and paid attention to the moves

Part 1 of 2

It's fight week and this is part 2 of Blood, Sweat & Tears Haney vs Loma

Haney is a big favorite to win. Anyone thinking Loma will win should be putting some money on him.

I think Haney should win but not gonna lie, those odds look tempting on Loma.

I think they are meant to look enticing but they probably represent enough value to place a bet on Loma

Devin Haney makes the second defence of his undisputed 135lb title later tonight and these are the fight night odds

4/11 Haney, 9/4 Lomachenko and 12/1 for the draw. Similar to the April 24 prices except the draw is not as favourable to the punter today as it was last month.

Both fighters made weight yesterday and there was a bit of afters too but otherwise there's nothing else to write about this PPV main event until we get a result

And I'll be rooting for Andrew Moloney also, good luck to him, a very good fighter and seemingly genuinely nice man, come on Andrew!

That ***** @CST80 crying robbery.

Sucks to be you, doesn't it. Sucjs even more to be Andrew. I hope to not see him in a ring again. I'm concerned for his health

Fucking clown is fuming at the decision on eastsideboxing. Going at it anyone that saw the fight differently than he did, including other mods.

Loma got robbed

Not sure anyone gets robbed in a close fight. Even though I thought Loma might have done enough to get the decision.

Even if it had been scored a draw people would have made a fuss.

I'm rewatching the fight right now and I don't see what these Lomatards are complaining about. Ward and Bradly are fucking annoying.
Haney spend half a round landing varieties of body shots and jabs, no one says anything. The moment Loma lands jab, these 3 stooges simultaneously start having erection.

For anyone that hasn't seen the fight yet, here it is before youtube deletes it.

Over at OTH, those guys are acting retarded too. I thought Haney won too, and I was disappointed with the biased broadcasting. It seemed like everyone was upset that Haney won. I thought the fight was close, but I gave Haney the close rounds because he had better ring generalship. Loma had two big rounds, but the rest were close in my eyes. I wouldn't have complained if Loma won.

Haney definitely had ring generalship. He was the one dictating the pace of the fight with long jabs and body shots.
Loma success came in spots, but it was not enough to overcome Haney's overall activity throughout the rounds.

Right now I'm at the 7th round and punch stats agrees with my scorecard. Not only is Haney throwing more, but he's also landing at a higher percentage.
