How Did You Rate Devin "The I CANT CRACK" Haney Performance against Gamboa?

Ive been into Boxing long enough to recognize special talents when i see one and Haney isnt it. Obviously he is very good but he isnt exceptional like many fans believe. Watching him is like watching a good poser. Not only him, but many young fighters today have the same tendencies. Like this dude wants to be Mayweather so bad yet he doesnt want to put in the work to get there. Devin Haney is more concerned about his image with all his fancy LV bags and other bullsht that has nothing to do with Boxing. These dudes like Haney flex too much without having done sht in the sport. If Im a promoter, i wouldnt sign him. Im a businessman and haney isnt marketable. He isnt the type that will make you money. Good post.

bro he beat the dog sht outta him. Gamboa was just crafty enough to stay on his feet. i dont know how u can do any better than total domination Lol stop exaggerating. He did not come anywhere close to beating the dog sht out of Gambia.

The commentators were acting like the ability to take a punch comes and goes and tonight Gamboas chin showed up. It was beyond ridiculous. yeah that was funny. Just proves how clueless they are.

Skilled Boxer but still need some work Need to work on his inside game, he doesn't have one at all actually but he needs more physicality on the inside and a Inside Game Sure he has the skills to probably out-box all of the fighters at 135 but can he keep a Tank or Teofimo Lopez off of him and also Tank is a nasty body punch and his Frame is not built for body punches, in fact I see that punches to the body does make him reset and back out similar to what Loma was doing vs Teofimo. Only 21 years old though, soon to be 22 years old next week so he has plenty of time and also styles make fights so while he did not look good vs Gamboa, he could come out and look spectacular vs a better opponent Remember those who jumped off Teofimo bandwagon after that fight before the Commey fight in which he did not look good only for him take it to another level vs Commey and Teofimo so lets not rush to give up on these young fighters but also too lets not overhype them too soon Great post. I hope you are right. I think I saw Haney's potential. I feel like this is. Or maybe this is it with whoever is training him. Maybe he needs to make a lot of changes. I didn't like what I saw. He should go back to school.

Was expected to look magnificent and win in style, make a statement. He didn't. Bad day at the office. Too early to begin writing him off, it takes two to make a fight.

He won every single round. But I felt it had more to do with the fact that Gamboa was so old and gun shy than it had to do with Haney's brilliance. 17 year age gap between the two fighters and it showed. I don't think Haney is quite ready for the next level. He needs a couple more years of fights at higher levels. Fight someone like Richard Commey, Jorge Linares etc.

Tank > Haney

I thought Gamboa wasn’t supposed to last 3 rounds Overrated it seems

Can’t punch for ****. His fights are always boring

He is a great fighter. Once he fights some good, in prime front foot fighters he'll look good. The match making is horrible. Gamboa is beyond shot, no reach, no power anymore, no achilles. They gotta match this guy with better, or at least more confident guys. The public perception will be that he is a stinker, and only for the aficionados if he keeps doing this ****. Thats the problem of being self promoted.... Arum would make this guy into the next Floyd, but he wants to call the shots and I think its a mistake at his age. Be self promoted after you have the fame.

Skillful boxer but cant bust a grape with his punches.

This just shows he doesn't have the biggest punch. He won every round. If he did this against a Lomachenko or Lopez it would be considered a stellar performance. The fight itself was boring as **** though. It's time to step up to real competition.

Well he showed he's a long way better than Gamboa. But we already knew that. A comfortable shutout is about as convincing as it gets. Doesn't tell us anything about how he would fare in the bigger fights.

IDK why he chose similar opponents as Tank to try and look better than, when he doesn't have the type of style to produce fireworks. Now this fight might have done more harm than good outside of the gained experience

Haney seemed hesitant to really engage all fight

He pitched a damn shutout. and Gamboa only wanted to finish on his feet, not win. kinda hard to look impressive against an opponent like that. Everyone else does so... IDK. And Gamboa fought as best he could with one damn foot lol its on the A-side to make the fight into what he wants. Gamboa didnt give Haney the exact look he wanted so haney couldnt do nothing with it.

He pitched a damn shutout. and Gamboa only wanted to finish on his feet, not win. kinda hard to look impressive against an opponent like that. Hard to look impressive against a 38 year old fighter coming off a injury and knock out loss? Haney was supposed to get gamboa out of there period after all the trash he talked about tank fighting gamboa.

C+ ..... Gamboa is beyond shot though, so I may be overrating Haney's performance.
