Tank vs. Haney = Toss-up fight
“Devin Haney did exactly what his corner wanted him to do. Yoel Judah was expressing to him, ‘Box, box,’ and that’s what he did. He boxed for 12 rounds,” said Andre Rozier to
Fighthype, discussing Devin Haney’s win over George Kambosos last Saturday.
“That would have to be a very, very strategic fight,” said Rozier about a match between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Devin Haney. “You have the articulate boxer facing the extremely powerful Davis and his ability to render you unconscious.
“I think it’ll be a great fight, and I honestly can’t pick a winner on that one. I like power, so I’d have to lean towards Davis.
The power that Tank Davis possesses will give Haney a nightmare because he’s going to get hit a lot by the popular WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion.
If Jorge Linares and Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz Jr. were able to hurt Haney, Tank will undoubtedly do that as well.
Lomachenko will be tough for Devin
“He’s the undisputed world champion, he has to face everyone now,” said Rozier when asked how he sees Haney doing against Vasyl Lomachenko.
“You have every belt, so that’s your history and your pedigree now. You have to face all comers because you have all the straps. Saying that, it would be a really strategic bout.
“Lomachenko is a very kinetic and articulate fighter. He does a lot of things that other people can’t do, and Haney would have to be on his very best to meet this challenge.
“I would have to say that I would lean a little bit towards Haney because of the size, believe it or not. But if Loma is on fire, there’s going to be trouble in the house.
“It could or the rest might have helped him,” said Rozier when asked if the ring rust from six months out of the ring with negatively impact Lomachenko’s performance when he returns to action.
“He might have needed that rest and comes back 150%. So it’s a hard question but it’s a question that I would love to see answered,” said Rozier.
I like him too. I think he means 70/30 Davis and 50/50 with Loma. You see he says he favors Davis? That's not by a little margin.
It sounded like to me that he meant 55/45 in favor of Tank and 45/55 in favor of Haney with regard to Loma and only because Haney is so damn big. But he also made it sound as if that Loma would probably win if we get a 150% Loma who's dialed in. That's how I read it.
To me, this is how I see Davis against either going. He beats them both by KO under 10 rounds. I like Loma, and Haney is a good guy. Both will come up short in the end, brutally. I still wanna see those fights. Loma is fast approaching irrelevant. I'll be scratching him from the list of must see soon. Good luck to him.

Davis will never be undisputed he can't even make weight
Yeah. Me too. He almost said Loma beats him but paused. I think he believes that but doesn't want to say it because he knows that the Haney fans will start calling him names. So he worded things carefully. But he does have a point about the size. It's a problem.
Anyway, I think he believes Tank and Loma beats Haney, and I like Rozier. Well respected, well liked.

I think he earned respect by his Bivol prediction.
Even I was sort of wrong I thought it was a 50-50 fight, but knew this guy was levels above the weak 168lb division.
The disrespect these trainers showed towards Bivol by all saying he had zero chance against Canelo and that canelo would batter and destroy him just showed me that they don't really follow boxing.
Rozier had the guts to make that prediction when everyone else was telling him he was wrong. Abel Sanchez, Robert Garcia, Roach, everyone, all said Bivol would get embarassed.
lol For sure. Yeah. That shit blew my mind. Almost everyone in the boxing world jumped on the Canelo hype train. I mean, this shit was obvious not just to Rozier but to me too. I think Canelo is a great fighter, but the guy is not superman. Just the style alone was bad for Canelo.
I like how he compliments Loma.

I don't agree with his pick of 50/50 in Davis vs Haney, but I respect people's opinions, especially the trainers and fighters.
I don't see it that way at all. More likely, 70/30 Davis by KO.

This past year completely exposed what idiots most professional boxers and trainers were with the awful fight analysis, 99% of them saying Canelo would destroy Bivol, and all sorts of other dumb comments. Except Rozier, he has been right about everything.
When Andre Rozier speaks, people need to listen.
