Comments Thread For: Linares: Haney Is Overlooking Me; Already Thinking Of Big Fights With Teofimo, Ryan Garcia

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - Jorge Linares senses Devin Haney is in for a rude awakening Saturday night. The former three-division champion has heard Haney discuss plenty of future fights, so many and so often that Linares believes Haney has no idea how huge of a step up in class he'll be in their 12-round fight for Haney's WBC world lightweight title. Handicappers have made Haney (25-0, 15 KOs) at least a 12-1 favorite against Linares (47-5, 29 KOs) in part because the Venezuelan veteran is 35 and lost by knockout or technical knockout five times.

Linares: Haney Is Overlooking Me; Already Thinking Of Big Fights With Teofimo, Ryan Garcia








that is a classic trap for young players..... also, there are other factors.....

1) Devin Haney has been trained by his father Bill Haney ever since he was a little kid, but Bill Haney retired as Devin's trainer 3 months ago... so this will be Devin's first fight without his father in the corner, and this will be his first fight under new trainer Ben Davison..... personally, I think that Ben Davison is a very good trainer..... but there are still question marks over him, and you cannot achieve much with a fighter having only 1 camp together.....

2) this is a big step up for Haney, no question




in saying that..... I think Haney should be on point for this one..... the kid has a good head on his shoulders, and we have not seen the best of him yet




on the other hand, we know that Linares has a few miles on his clock..... but.....

1) there is a old saying in boxing..... "great fighters often have one great fight left in them"..... like Mosley did, with Margarito.....

2) Linares really is a superb fighter, regardless what the boxing-by-numbers casual fans seem to think




I pay no mind to betting odds in boxing..... favorites lose all the time, and this fight really interests me..... this is Haney's first real test, and Linares is desperate for this win..... his back is against the wall for this fight, it is make-or-break time for him

will Haney step up to the world stage and stamp his class on that fight, or will Linares summon up a great performance... ???

remember two things.....

1) Lomachenko is a boxing master, and yet his fight with Linares was dead even on the official scorecards up to the 10th round

2) you have to stop Linares to beat him..... and Haney is not a big puncher




this is a great crossroads fight, really looking forward to it



WAR Haney !!
WAR Linares !!

LET'S GET IT ON !!

He's right. Haney is in for a tough brawl and hes taking Linares way too lightly. However, Pop!!! and down goes Linares round 2 from a shot to the liver.
