Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares: Can't Compare Me To Gamboa; This Is A Huge Step Up For Devin Haney

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - Devin Haney will box a three-weight world champion in a second straight fight Saturday night. That's about all, according to Jorge Linares, that he and Yuriorkis Gamboa have in common at this stage of their lengthy careers. The 35-year-old Linares is four years younger than Gamboa and the former WBA/WBC lightweight champion is certain that he is a much fresher fighter than the Cuban-born boxer Haney defeated by unanimous decision in their 12-rounder November 7.

The difference between him and Gamboa isn't just a question of size, it's that Linares comes to win, not just to survive ... that's why the Venezuelan will be caught. But yes, Linares is a big step up for Haney

This would of been a step up five years ago, Linares still is decent but he's been K.O now what? 2 of his last 3 or four fights? Hearn picked him because he doesn't present a threat.

Linares is going to get drop again

Like the man says, Linares will come to win & so I think Haney will win inside the distance but he might get hurt, maybe even have to get off the floor. If you combine power with fast hands & an ability to throw a variety of shots then you'll always be dangerous until the Ref counts you out.
