Weak argument. I had no dog in the fight. You clearly watched with emotion and was sad that the guy you bet for didn't perform. I watched objectively and scored the fight. Did you? Or are you just going off feelings and vibesNo, it’s fans like you who prove they can’t judge beyond their incoming bias towards a particular fighter. How you gonna tell me my position is invalid when everyone who is somebody in the sport is coming out saying largely the same thing. I wanted Haney to win. I bet on that man but truth is on first viewing it appears he got outperformed.
Btw CompuBox shows Loma actually landed more body shots so that argument doesn’t even hold firm. But I’m willing to rewatch and analyze. Right now though nothing is adding up to most folks seeing it the other way beyond a preference towards Haney.
I would suggest you do as you say, rewatch, analyse and score the fight. I had it for Haney, if i rewatch there are rounds which i could give to Loma which would end in a decision for him but fans like you crying it's a robbery is one of the problems with boxing. Too much histrionics and emotion and not enough rational objectivity. I want to see a rematch but have a feeling Haney will go elsewhere.
