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

[MeanestNiceGuy]

yea...but Loma didn’t make himself look like a total jackass by saying “I was not hurt” and I thought “Linares would hit harder”...absolutely pathetic and ridiculous statements after watching Haney wobble back to his corner and then run and literally lunge at Linares crotch after a break and man-hug him. A champion doesn’t get loudly booed during the championship rds. Haney in total denial and embarrassing himself with his ****** statements. Some champion...

Typical casual fan! You gave yourself away by criticizing the man for surviving until he got his legs back. You dumb casuals wanna see "rock em, sock em" fists flying when a guy gets hurt but these guys are champions and champions do what they need to do until they clear their heads.

So, Devin was supposed to just stand there and get hit more (and possibly stopped) by an old Linares? And you'd be right here spewing horse**** about Haney being a hype job and so on. Just dumb, but expected.

Uhhh...didnt he hurt you pretty badly at one point though?

Idiot trying to make people believe he was not out on his feet by a veteran.he loses against Ryan and dies against Teo.

No-ones saying he shouldn't be boxing, he looked amazing for most of the fight and that jab is a thing of beauty, what ppl are saying and me included is that if he gets in with any of the big boys in the division like he keeps saying he wants to he will get knocked out, if Linares had him holding on for dear life imagine what will happen if Lopez or tank connect sweetly on him

Flawed logic but you sided with everybody else, so I'm not surprised. Just because one guy rocks you, it doesn't mean your fresher, potential opposition would do the same. Let's be honest here, Devin got himself hurt...it's not like Linares is some boxing genius.

I'll ask anybody reading this....did Devin get himself in that situation or, did Linares set him up and place him in position to be hit that way? Serious question here.

Hell, by that logic, Lomachenko would obliterate Devin late in the fight since he arguably hurt Lopez late in the fight. What about Gamboa? Didn't Tank struggle against the same guy in Gamboa with an injured Achilles and stopped him in the 12th? Gamboa was there all 12 for Devin as well not even a year later.

Backwards boxing logic is at an all-time around here. Lol

Haney is surely in Denial about being hurt and that’s expected but the the experience of him still being able to make it to the finish line is a win win.

The logic is fine, it's you're bias that's off bro, I commended him for basically boxing Linares ears off and am very impressed with his jab, but that doesn't get away from the fact that Lopez hits harder than Linares and I know tank does and there skilled enough to catch him like Linares did and if he was doing the stanky leg off Linares I don't like his chances when Lopez inevitably catches him at some point, the logic's good and fair bro, the only chance he has against them is if he manages to box the whole 12 but I can't see that happening against boxers as skilled as himself

For sure it is. Especially by those self professed "experts" that call others casuals for voicing their disgust for sheeit like this *****.gif

I just tried to watch this fight and I’m not joking when I say I fell asleep, in rd 6 I believe. Woke up in rd 12, Linares hurt him here again. Watched Teofimo after that, was reminded Lopez can’t box for sht, he’s all physicality and I managed to stay awake this time and saw him lose 7-4-1 to Nakatani (but it was an either way fight). Nakatani is super basic. Verdejo has always been a bum. Lomachenko will dominate him. He’s got nothing for him, not the skills, not the power, just might be a little awkward due to length and some durability, but wouldn’t be surprised if Loma forces a TKO/RTD.

Haney is a decent boxer, Lopez is a low-tier boxer, he will hit guys with big shots but loves to admire his work, why it takes him 7rd’s to stop some 5’3 c-tier in Magdaleno, couldn’t knockdown Nakatani (like Verdejo managed, twice I believe), or even managed any real damage on Lomachenko (if you want to argue that borderline stun, you can have it). His claim to being this monster KO artist is his stoppage over a fragile and super open hypejob in Commey. If Haney doesn’t get effectively done in by one shot He can easily outpoint Lopez. Lopez does get extra credit for his flash though, despite being inactive as sht.

Devin is an excellent boxer. He had a short moment where he got clipped and he boxed and did his thing. I hope though, he gets his man strength soon. He'll need it

what other CHAMPION have u seen literally dive to his opponents crotch to keep from getting hurt again. Survive if u must ...bur dont embarrass urself by saying “I was not hurt” and I thought my opponent hit harder...truly laughable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
