Predictions
Tim Rickson BBN Editor: “The bookies odds sum this fight up perfectly – Haney is the slight favourite, as the bigger man and defending champion, but the contest could be close enough to end in a draw also.
“It's vital that Loma gets off to a bright start to try and bank the rounds on the scorecards from the first onwards. The Ukrainian wizard can sometimes take his time to collect data from his opponents, but he can't afford to in this fight, he needs to trust his instincts and get going from the first bell.
“However, Haney's ring IQ is just as smart as Loma's, and the American hero will be flicking out that low hanging jab and clinching where possible to land eyecatching shots to edge each of the rounds.
“Bigger man Haney to win on points.”
What have they said?
Devin Haney: “Camp has been great. I’m feeling good. I’m feeling strong. My weight is good. I’m happy and in good spirits. I’m ready to go.
“When we go into a fight, it’s a war. It’s combat. Two warriors going at it. We put our life on the line when we go in that ring.
“He has experience and ring generalship. I know he’s training for a dirty fight. He wants to get in and get as dirty as possible in the clinch. That’s what I’ve heard that he’s training for. We’re just preparing for whatever he brings to the table. We know the type of fight that he wants.
“It’s a blessing. I’m happy that finally I get my shot at him. The tables have turned. It feels good that the tables have turned. Now I’m the guy giving him the shot. I’m happy that I get to prove myself.”
