Lol the Devin “Huggies” Haney video is funny and I’m wondering why Linares didn’t throw an uppercut at that point. It seems like that shot would’ve been available but I guess he was tired too.
Yeah. I don't know why he didn't. At least in that clip, I think the running hug caught him by surprise. You can see he was expecting a jab, so he covered up, and by the time he realized a hug was coming, officially known as "holding," he wasn't prepared to deal with it.
It's a tactic that Haney started using a lot when he fought Gamboa. And since then, it's become a main component of his style. And don't listen to War Room. He knows I've had that in my sig for a long time. He just started laying claim to it within the last month.
Good breakdown man.
