[Beanz]

Don't think I can be staying up till 5am but I am looking forward to watching 'as live' later on Sunday morning. Been a while since I looked forward to a fight so much.

I might...

May the best man win, this could be a classic. Haney has the potential but I don't see him adjusting as well if it doesn't go according to the game plan. Loma is not going to just allow him to dictate things and needs to put his foot on the pedal early to make that clear. That push is as much nerves as promotion and Loma will love the opportunity to pick apart Haney if comes in fired up fighting from his belly rather than his head. Can see a few pendulum swings in this one with at least one of them having to get off the seat of their pants to reset. Haney may be lighter at weigh-in but Loma is not going to put on much and come fight night Haney will be the bigger man. Lets hope they are allowed to fight on the inside but not turn into a hugfest. Bring it on.

Hoping we get a Loma who is close to 100%. If Loma is on and starts aggressively, I can see him winning a tough fight. Devin is big/long, young, and a great boxer, but I feel like Loma has more dimensions. Teo was a much more explosive puncher and eked out the win more for what Loma didn’t do (start fighting before round 6) than anything Teo did. I feel like that fight is misleading, and the lack of power from Devin means Loma will have an easier style match up. Really looking forward to this fight.

Loma didn’t do because of what Teo did do. Teo sat waiting for Loma to reach and counter him hard right up the middle, this kept Loma from being able to get into all that dancing you can only do if you can stall the opponent. And when Loma would cross step or rhythm step Teo took advantage of the wrong footing to get off combinations

The idea Loma just didn’t do more for no reason is simply not reflective of the action. Teo fought the smarter fight, which is surprising but really undeniable.

Be very interested in the same night "unofficial" weights but haven't really seen that much since HBO closed shop.

2-hour undercard being aired on regular ESPN also.

Good posting Mr Swanson, if possible you should make posts like @Yuzo does with the gifs, I have no idea where he gets them from so maybe that's not possible. These gifs and explanations help us monkeys understand the more complicated parts of boxing better.
