Can't blame you. I'm not going to be buying it either. It's really not a fight that I feel is PPV worthy.

It just doesn’t have the shine it could have years ago. What I do like is if Loma looks like classic Loma even a little bit and wins it will actually be fucking amazing and make a lot of fans really happy, so can always cross our fingers for that. But yeah, I can live with an alternative viewing experience, likely the replay the next morning haha

Why not? This is definitely going to be more interesting than the garcia and Davis fight...

Or it'll be a stinker with Haney winning a boring but clear UD. Haney isn't a PPV fighter and neither is Lomachenko though Loma's done some fantastic television viewership #'s in the past.

However the fight turns out it should be a fascinating tactical duel that will be of rhe greatest interest to any fight fan.

It should be interesting tactically but that isn't necessarily enough for people to buy this fight. I'm not even sure what they're charging but it's bold to put it on their PPV platform. With Haney fighting the way he usually does, and Loma being up there in age at 35 years old and not looking good in his last fight, I don't see this one selling well (hopefully I'm wrong). Making it PPV was a risky business move that could actually hurt both of their drawing power going forward.
 
I actually don't expect it to be boring. Vs Teo, Loma was tentative because of the bigger man's big power. Haney isn't a power puncher, and so I expect much more aggression from Loma. I think he's too clever and skilled to get jabbed and smothered to death.
 
Last chance saloon for Loma should make this interesting

He's got decent timing though, and I think that gave him more problems vs Lopez than the power did.
 
it is interesting because they both are pretty flawed.

Loma is excellent if he is dictating the pace but has a lot of trouble off the back foot and when pressured. Can't really adjust at all

Haney has good fundamentals but really no instincts as far as finishing or even really upping the pace or pressure or anything to finish his opponents. It's pretty offensive to watch a lot of times tbh just how pedestrian he looks.

so it'll be interesting enough i think no matter who wins
 


Picking Haney by Dec …. Not paying $60 for this PPV … to be honest not hyped for this …
