In a world where fists usually do the talking, it was a series of tweets that recently took center stage in the boxing realm. At the heart of the storm were Devin Haney and Bob Arum, grappling not with gloves but with words in the aftermath of the controversial Haney versus Lomachenko fight. Notorious for generating a whopping 275K-300K Pay-Per-View buys, the fight’s outcome was, however, subject to contentious interpretations.

What if I told you that amidst this chaos, a picture of a crying Lomachenko and the sleepy ‘old a**’ Bob Arum became the unlikely symbols of a showdown, not in the ring, but on the screens of millions of Twitter users? Buckle up, as we delve into this digital boxing match.

Devin Haney counters Arum’s ‘Easy win’ claim with Lomachenko’s tearful image

Diving straight into the thick of the Twitter controversy, Devin Haney first launched a subtle jab at Bob Arum, insinuating that the Top Rank CEO was less than alert during the fight. “Bob old a** was sleep all fight.. I took a look at him between rounds 😴,” tweeted Haney, injecting humor and sarcasm into the digital discourse.

Following this, Haney directly countered Bob Arum’s assertion that Vasiliy Lomachenko had “easily” won the fight. Mike Coppinger, a renowned sports reporter, had posted a video of Arum addressing Lomachenko after the match, insisting on his straightforward victory. Haney responded to this with a contrasting image. He tweeted a photo of a visibly distraught Lomachenko, a potent visual contradiction to Arum’s post-match comments.

But the Twitter saga didn’t stop there. Responding to a tweet from a follower querying about the rumors of him re-signing a deal two days before the fight, Haney denied the speculation categorically.

His verdict? Quite at odds with the official decision. De La Hoya saw Lomachenko as the victor. His comments not only further fuel the debate around the Haney-Lomachenko match but also reveal how subjective and divergent opinions in the boxing world can be.
