Vasiliy Lomachenko has plenty of supporters in the boxing world follow tonight’s loss to Devin Haney, a very close decision that easily could have gone his way.
“Bollocks. They’ve done a great fighter dirty there,” said trainer Dave Coldwell. “(Lomachenko) should be undisputed. Gutted.”
“No doubt Haney was good, (he) is a brilliant boxer,” Coldwell continued. “But 35-year-old Lomachenko did the business tonight for me. What a fighter.”
Regis Prograis also scored the fight for Lomachenko, Tweeting simply, “Loma won,” but Haney did have his supporters, too, including two guys who looked at it from unfortunately practical angles.
“Boxing a business, boy,” prospect Keyshawn Davis said. “Sorry, Loma.”
“Glad Devin Won. Loma (is) not supposed to get a razor-close fight against an American champion on U.S. soil,” Lamont Roach Jr said. “It is what it is. If this was Ukraine, Devin would’ve lost (unanimous decision). Straight up.”

I give the edge to Loma but we will see. #HaneyLoma was such a competitive fight that the judges have a tough task tonight.

Great fight, I thought Haney edged it out. Loma’s a pound for pound caliber opponent, great win for Devin.

I had it 7-5 Loma but early rounds very hard to score. That was one of the highest level of technical boxing you could ever get watch.

They’ve done a great fighter dirty there. @VasylLomachenko should be UNDISPUTED.
