He needs to stay at 135 to get fights whilst he holds the belts. Otherwise, nobody will fight him because he is not a huge draw and hard to beat. At 135, he can bait Davis, Garcia, Loma, Stevenson (which would all be great fights).
If he does move up and vacated, he would automatically become mandatory for the WBO at 140 , so it’s not like he would be left out in the cold completely
Sometimes you just have to do it because you really can’t make the weight anymore
I'm normally one to disregard most comments re. how people look at weight ins, but Devin looks like a different person.
Hope he's healthy and safe to fight.
Yikes, looked pretty bad. Some fighters look bad at weigh ins but perform just fine though, remember Erik Morales.
It looks far worse if you look at these photos beside to ones from his first fight with George though.
This is what you get with day before fight weigh in's.
If Haney loses this fight, it will be for the same reasons Teofimo Lopez lost to Kambosos Junior.
Kambosos Junior has just got to set a high pace. The same way he did vs Teofimo Lopez.
Set a high pace and keep on him. If Haney is struggling at the weight, this is the way to put pressure on him etc.

He looks really bad, he needs to move up after.
Fan of the kid but he looks like a zombie. Lights on but nobodies at home
Looks like McGregor back when he was struggling to boil down
Young enough to look like the Walking Dead but no need to hang around 135 after this fight. Loma wants to fight now. Go up to 140. Haney became undisputed. He was running around with a WWE belt. Shakar is still there and I believe to be the better fighter.
He made weight easily. He will be rehydrated when the fight happens. He will be fine.
I agree. If he was an old fighter I would worry about him being weight drained but he's still very young and he'll pack on a lot of pounds during the rehydration period before the fight. The weight gain and size will give him an advantage.
