So it's now official, Haney will be facing Linares for his WBC Lightweight title. This is going to be an exciting and close fight. Linares gave Loma all he can take and even score a flash knock down, and obviously he has the experienced in this fight. So Haney will be tested here for sure, but I think he can adjust and will probably win by decision here.

Ok as I have thought, this will be a decision win for Haney. And I agree that this is the biggest test for him and I will grade him 7.5 out of 10. Good technical skills and that jab? one of the best in this decision. But a fight with other 135 lbs will be very hard for Haney as he didn't possessed any power. Sooner or later he will get caught and his chin will not hold. Linares almost broke his chin. Ryan Garcia which he wanted to fight will definitely crack that if he touches with his left hook.

Locking this thread!!!

i really thought linares won the fight since he is the only so far that had hit harder that wobbles the legs of Haney. this is where he waves his hands to show this way to his corner. the old man still has his gear working. that combo i think should have mattered to the judges. very close scores so it deserves a rematch. probably going to be settled when Haney loses against Davis.

Haney shows his technical skills and survived a late flurry from Linares. He was really hurt at the end of round 10, his legs are wobbling, but it seems that Linares has punch him out in the fight and couldn't make a follow up on the last 2 rounds.

Not boring fight to me, but it could be more exciting if we can see some knock downs. Love Haney's sharp jab, thing is that he has no power, as Linares said post fight.
Well, we get what they serve, if that's all they can do, we have no choice but to accept it. Haney did his best but the speed of Linares really made the difference. I think Linares knows about the sharp jab and had removed it's power early so that might be the reason why it didn't have power.

Haney is also strong, he looks like he is getting tired in the end but he was able to accept some heavy punch from Linares, bad thing is that Linares only showed up in the later rounds, he will never win a game that way he fought as it did not impress the judges. However, I would say he still did well as he survives a 12 round fight against a heavy favorite Haney.

I would say it's a good fight for both of them but i think it's the end now for the career of Linares, he can't keep up with the big boys now and he is like a steeping stone for some of the young and some prospects in this sport of boxing. He can no longer have that championship belt.

As for Haney, a fight with Garcia or Davis will get him some of this elusive respect which i think he deserve at this point. Surviving and winning against Linares was the biggest test of his young career thus far.

He is a good technical boxer no doubt about it, but for his opponent to say that he has no power which is obvious based on what I saw in the fight, will give him lesser chances against hard-hitting boxers like Davis and Lopez, he is a very dominant boxer but it takes away the notoriety like what Davis and Lopez is showing in their fights, these two fighters have ended and can end the fight with one punch something that's lacking with Haney

I would agree with that as I saw the highlights, when Haney was a bit frustrated trying to KO Linares, he was a bit careless and sometimes he got hit with a solid punch, and he is lucky that punch came in the late rounds when Linares was already tired.

Compared to Davis and Lopez, I agree with you that Haney is less powerful.

It's kinda boring though, it looks like Haney will win by decision.

I do hope that someone bet on him, still very attractive. However, Haney lacks power, if he steps up and fight elite boxers, he is a highlight knockout waiting to happen.

So far in my scorecard, Haney 9-1. I gave Linares round 10. Only 2 rounds left, let's see how it goes.

I thought it was much closer than that. Haney started out dominating but Linares kept closing the gap until he eventually was able to hurt him. Haney looked terrible in the final 3 rounds. A younger Linares would have KO'd him.

This aggressive strategy will not work for Haney against better competition. He lacks power and it took him a while to recover when he was hurt. He is still one of the top fighters of the division so I don't count him out against anybody but there are still a few things that don't give me too much confidence in him.
Yep, it was a close fight indeed, or a fighter with a decent power would have knock out Haney out.

I'm sure he will lost against Garcia, Davis, and Lopez at 135-140 lbs, those 3 have serious power in both hands. Haney just cherry picking opponents. We can say that Linares could have been a live dog, but he is already old and no longer on his prime.

This is Haney's tough fight so far and he is lucky that he survived the 10th round it's very clear that he is hurt by that straight right before the bell sound, hats off to Linares he is still a tough guy and he earns the respect of the boxing world, I hope Garcia will come out and call out Haney so they can make the fight happen, Haney should now focus on fighting anyone on Lopez, Garcia or Davis, so he can establish himself.

Devin Haney survive the late scare, it ended in 12 rounds and Haney won via unanimous decision. Do we have winners here?
Kind share your betslip, I just want to celebrate with you guys. lol.. seriously, I just want to know the betting odds for that.

An entertaining fight overall, Haney was aggressive and that's where he almost lose.

Final press conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u52sDtJWwS0

Both guys feeling confident to win the fight. This will be very technical fight, the market though seems to be close as I can't find the betting line in sportsbet. But probably they will open the line again in the next 48 hours as the fight is in this weekend. But Haney seems to be the run-away favourite.

Haney is the more technical and stronger between the two he is at his peak I expect him to dispose of Linares possibly via knock out and then face Ryan Garcia he really wants to fight Garcia but with Garcia having a demon on his head to deal with it will take some time, he is staying on that division for Ryan Garcia if he wins this match, there's a possibility that he will move to a much heavier weight division.

Haney is the more technical here, I agree, but Linares has been in other tough fights so experience goes to him. I agree that both are looking relaxed base on the final press conference. I wonder though why sportsbet market is not open, initially the line is not good for a Haney money line, maybe that's the reason why they close it as it didn't get any attention from boxing bettors.

Finally, the day has come, we will see another great fight today and my Sunday will always be fun.

I'm gonna watch this fight and the Donaire vs Oubaali fight, what a double header for me.

I'm still counting for Haney to win but Linares should give him some good challenge.

This should also be a good fight but i'm wondering why my favorite online bookies didn't cover this fight.

I thought that they will put the odds on their site 24 hours before the fight but until this time, no sign of that.

That's weird, upon checking sportsbet right now, the betting odds are not there, perhaps they have close the market very early. Stake though have this fight listed,

Haney - 1.12
Haney by decision - 2.90
Linares - 6.00

I agree that this is a very good fight, Haney technical skills against a live dog and durable fighter in Linares.

I hope one of us can post a live stream here, I'm watching the live stream on Youtube on their undercard but I doubt if they are going to go live on Youtube we all know it's pay-per-view and DAZN is not free, maybe another marketing for the fight to watch in a pay per view stream.

I agree that this is going to be big test for Haney, Linares is very tough opponent and I'm sure he is going to train seriously, but I would say that he is a B level fighter in my book, just like I said, he has a good chance against Loma, but he blew it off.

So I think the pressure is on Haney's shoulder to perform and win against a old but durable Linares. Jorge will definitely make Haney uncomfortable, but I'm leaning that Haney will win this fight.


Even though I’m not a  big fan of lightweight boxers I shall follow the  progress of the coming fight   to prove the theory that fast legs combined with the fine boxing technique may decide the outcome. Linares seems to have  both technique and legs to counter Haney ... will see, looks like the winner is bound to face Fortuna.  Grin
Yeah, but Linares is not that young anymore and he could settle down as the fight goes on. And it might be the best time for Haney to exploit if Linares will go toe to toe in the middle of the round.

Again, as I have mentioned, the ball is on Haney here, to proved that he can be called one of the 4 kings in the lightweight division. So that's I'm seeing Haney just to win by decision most probably.

I'm not hearing any postponement though, maybe sport bookies are just late on putting this fight on their platform.
