Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: Honestly, I Thought Linares Would Hit Much Harder Than He Did

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - The picture-perfect right hand Jorge Linares landed late in the 10th round Saturday night obviously buzzed Devin Haney. Other than that shot, though, Haney took Linares' flushest punches without incident during their 12-round, 135-pound title fight. Linares withstood Haney's hardest punches, too, but Haney expected the former champion to hit harder than he did, especially early in their bout.

You should be thankful for that, given that at the end of the 10th round you were almost out on your feet.

Linares did land several left hooks on Haney's chin in the fight and he didn't so much as flinch or wince. So I will venture to say that Devin does have a good chin. He did get hit with a good right cross at the end of the 10th round however and yet it still didn't floor him or knock him out.

Linares has good punching power, therefore it’s not surprising that he managed to hurt Haney with that right cross. Haney did what he had to to survive those last three rounds.

You got clipped and hurt. It happens. The concern should be that it took you two rounds to recover from it.

SMDH, these fighters need to know when to speak an when to shut the *** up.

Fact of the matter is you got cracked and got made to do the stanky leg. It took you 2 damn rounds and some desperate holding to make it to the final bell.

Fact is if Linares hit any harder you would have had to been woken up with smelling salts and it prolly would have happened earlier in the fight because linares did land some shots.

Linares hit so hard that Haney ran and hugged him though

Define sweet carolines please. Are you referring to Brits? White people in general?
