“Ur Embarrassing”: Fans Slam Former Pro Boxer After He Criticizes Devin Haney for Vasiliy Lomachenko Fight

The sport of boxing has some exciting fights lined up this year. Young Ryan Garcia is scheduled to take on Gervonta Davis later next month. The undisputed Super Middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez makes his return this summer. Not to mention, a potential Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Heavyweight clash, even though the negotiations halted recently. And just to make the sport more exciting than it already is, Devin Haney will take on Vasiliy Lomachenko on May 20th of this year. Both fighters are one of the best pound-for-pound boxers and a bout between the two was long due. The two will make sure to put it all on the line and give the fans a show worth their money.

However, Paul Malignaggi is not a fan of this match-up. The former Welterweight boxer retired from professional boxing in 2017 but still competes in the Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). According to him, Haney should be fighting him and not Lomachenko. Fans had interesting reactions to Malignaggi’s comments.

Fans troll Paul Malignaggi for calling out Devin Haney

Recently, Haney took to social media to make his bout against Lomachenko official. He stated, “Glitch in the matrix May 20th! Inshallah victory!”.  The fans at large are excited to see the two incredible boxers square off against each other. Malignaggi took offense to this announcement and insisted that the Lightweight champion is afraid of him. He stated, “The duck flew back into the pond. Guess he didn’t want me at 154″

The fans had a vehement response to the comment made by the former boxer. One fan stated that“nobody” would be scared of him. He also shared a video of Malignaggi getting knocked out in a fight. @boxingFctnewsop wrote, “Ain’t nobody scared of you.”

Another fan did not welcome the comments made by the former boxer. @combat_insider wrote, “Ur embarrassing”

On other hand, one user gave due credit to the success Malignaggi had in his career and wonders why he feels the need to call out the fighters of today. @samragheb wrote, “you’re great at commentating, fighting career is over, cmon you had a great run most guys can’t accomplish.”
