“Dave Moretti needs to be sent out to pasture for giving Haney the 10th round. Sickening,” a Twitter user said.
“Dave Moretti is high. In rounds 6-12 all the momentum was on Loma and I only gave Haney one round in the final 6. Moretti only gave Loma one round. But don’t be confused, all 3 of those cards are absolute travesties. All 3 judges smoked from the same crack pipe,” another one added.
“Dave Moretti scored rounds 7, 8, 9, AND 10 in favor of Devin Haney. Round 10 was VERY CLEARLY Vasiliy Lomachenko’s. Loma was convincing in Round 3 too Tim Cheatham gave it to Haney Amazing fight, I disagree with these specific round scores tho,” a third one tweeted.
