If this was Ryan Garcia, I would agree, because Garcia is a bit of a one trick pony and Linares will figure it out and take it away.
Haney is a little different. He's not a one trick pony, doesn't stand up stiff, and takes angles. Makes the fight a bit more difficult and at Linares' position, it'll wear him out.
Now, I also think Garcia would beat Haney right now because Haney doesn't make adjustments and won't think to even take away the left hook.
So, I don't know. Hopefully Linares gives Haney a tough fight but I won't be surprised if he loses. I've liked Linares since him and Valero were training and fighting out of Japan, so there is no bias. But Linares is an old dog man, doesn't look too good now days.
