I was very impressed with his performance for the most part. Great jab to the head and body. He dominated many of the rounds against a very solid fighter.
Got caught with a big punch from a guy with good pop. Survived it and won the fight. Obviously needs to go back to the gym and work on his defence.
I don’t have favourite fighters but I was rooting for Linares as the underdog. Was mostly impressed with Devin
I thought Haney displayed some excellent tactics that mostly involved getting on the inside to hold on for dear life. That's how I saw about 65% of the fight.
- -Kid Whiteboy Haney graciously swept stumbling to his fat daddy by Linares at the end of the 10th...Classic. Never seen a flush busted so badly as that. Best make Plan B retirement moves because his flapping bubble gum bubble done gone pop goes the weasel.

First one legged Gamboa, and now Linares sending messages in a bottle.:newbie:
I thought he looked great for the first 6 rounds then effectively started to fall apart a little.
He literally has Malignaggi type power and whilst skill full he is quite predictable and I don’t think he beats Loma, Lopez or Garcia.
At least he got to defend his WBC intercontinental belt.
To me at least, Haney’s stock fell considerably last night. I don’t see any way at all he’s ever going to beat a good fighter with power and better than average chin. He can’t stay at 135 indefinitely and all of the better welters from Porter to Vergel Ortiz will absolutely destroy him.
I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t see a very bright future for a guy without much pop and not much of a chin.
I don't think he makes it out of 135 unscathed unless he avoids all the other big name guys much less making it to 147 before he gets destroyed.

He went life and death with someone given no chance to win and got kod in 1 round not long ago. If that's considered looking good, then yeah he looked good
I mean that’s not how I saw the fight. I thought he looked fantastic until that shot towards to back end of the fight. He recovered and won the fight. I don’t think of that as going life and death but that’s just me!
