Sog was the truth
The narrative that "black fighters" have the media against them is goofy….If you are beating on women, getting in trouble with the law and doing dumb ish that's getting headlines….is that media bias??
Any so called swing or close round has to be given to the champion. No swing and close round goes to the challenger. Unless you are trying to rob the champion. Those are the unwritten rules of boxing. So by that measure Haney won almost every single round. Unless you are a racist or white supremacist then you have to agree that fight wasn’t even close and Haney won it clearly. The reason why there is a controversy is because a bunch of white supremacists and racist do not want to believe that a black man can be better than a white man at anything. These are the same people who were calling on Fury to be given the decision in 5he first Wilder fighter, despite the fact that Wilder knocked him down and out and the ref cheated with a long count. Simply because they just want the white guy to win. Regardless.
These sometimee fans come into r sport wit there ignorance of the fight game….im still waitin for a mexican or anybidybother than black people to be emphatic about haney winning all i hear is it could of went both ways but the loma faction is screamin loma won period not loma won but it was close n could of went both ways we always yryin to be reasonabl with a unreasobke group of human…that crybaby sore sport lost.
What BS is ward talking about. Hankey got 10/9 on round 10, the biggest round for loma. This was about going against christ. Boxing is demoic. Its illumanti now like UFC. all showing the pyramid with hands, triple 6 with hand gestures. Usyk had his left hand inside the jacket at AJ press conference, stood up shake AJ hand, with left arm hidden inside jacket which is freemson sign. The hidden hand. He is 33 freemason. Mayweather sacrificed his female agent recently in a illumanti sacrifice.
It was a robbery…Loma landed effective and more punches and hurt Haney a few times!
Andre Ward did lose the first fight to Kovalev and Lomachenco also did enough to win vs Haney shame on people who can say the truth
Cause tank knocking that boy out we all know the outcome that’s why we want Haney lomo 2 if lomo pick up his activity he knocking pillow hand Haney out
Ward allways keeps it 100
God bless you Champ
SOG another boxing chosen one☝🏾
Loma won😂
I always liked Ward, he’s a believer not by word but how he lives. So many say one thing but live another way, he exemplifies Jesus Christ. It’s evident I how he lives from what he presents.
I think with Haney we just expected more from em 💯
I love Andre Ward he is one of my favorite fighters. However, I have to respectfully disagree with him about racism. I think it is absolutely disgusting that he feels that racism does not exist. Racism and White Supremacy is still alive in well.
The whole stadium was booing and it was in America
Kovalev beat this man. Americans always robbing eastern Europe
Loma wasn’t robbed. But Kovalev was 😂
Absolutely love and respect Dre. He's the real deal.
I agree it wasn't a complete robbery, but I do have trouble with fights that are relatively even and then the decision doesn't go to the guy who figured out the other guy, who's clearly beating his op at the end of the fight. I can understand the Teo fight cause Loma really gave away a lot early and started late, but this fight was different with Loma starting earlier and Haney was scared and running for like 3 rounds near the end. He even told his corner that Loma had him figured out, and he didn't know what to do. Why give it to the guy who won the first half but then got figured out and lost the second half?? That's the main reason that fans got really frustrated imo. Great fight though by both guys.
If loma was black american he would have said robbery…
The crowd cheering for Loma has nothing to do with skin color.. Your delusional with victim mentality
Mayweather vs Corrales was two top five P4P, undefeated champions fighting that was called a 50/50 fight with Corrales being a slight edge as the favorite, even by myself. That fight turned out to be a one-sided beatdown by Floyd, as he perfectly said it would be.
Black Americans aren't supported by Americans & America. When a Black American is the best in his weight class as an American fights a guy from another country, it's supposed to billed as the best American vs the best Mexican/Brit/Ukrainian/Russian. But white Americans can't help but side against the Black American, for white American cultural reasons.
Dre had the receipts!
Please do not compare Spence vs Crawford to Andre ward vs Kovalev … Andre’s and kovalev ‘s division were the weakest division in the whole sport of boxing. Same with triple G. He dominated a weak division
Good interview
Excellent interview with" King Ward "…💯%
Ppl just know an ass whooping when they see one Pro veteran boxer, or casual, Boxing or UFC. And Lomachenko won that fight.
Ward… The best in 🥊🥊
Ggg never wanted to fight Ward for real 😂
I wish he would have asked Ward if he enjoys working with Tim Bradley.
Loma lost. The rounds I gave to Loma were toss up rounds. The rounds I gave to Haney were solid. This is my unbiased opinion. Kambosos beat Loma in the same fashion and no one said anything. Then Haney beat Kambosos…
I love ANDRE WARD. Very good man
Pure FACTS about the BLACK fighters
