Loma going to stop Haney from accumulation of punches. Haney’s jab run n hug garbage won’t work vs Loma with his outstanding footwork. He’ll slip that jab, take a few quick steps at the right angle to cut Haney off and be inside landing multiple shots before Haney even knows what hit him all fight… Watch.
