Comments Thread For: Hearn: Haney Nowhere Near Going Down; But People Don't Talk About Linares Dropping Loma

[PRchamp]

In light of the fact that Vasily was almost KO by Jorge in the sixth round and down on judge Robin Taylor's score-card ( 86-85 ), coupled with the fact that Jorge Linares history of being KO by lesser competition, I was not impressed by Vasily's late rally to do what everyone was expecting to happen much earlier in the fight.

Devin Haney dominated Jorge Linares, 8-4 on Judges Patricia Morse Jarman score and the same with Steve Weisfeld. Haney showed poise, intelligence and discipline when Linares had his moments in the later stages of the fight. Nobody had ever outwitted and outclassed Jorge Linares like 22 year old Devin Haney, I was impressed.

Patricia Morse Jarman 112-116 | Dave Moretti 113-115 | Steve Weisfeld 112-116

They weren’t able to outwit and outclass Linares because they already knocked him out haha. This was another showcase for Haney against another older faded chinny fighter and he struggled, by no means that was impressive win against a 35 year old Linares.

Haney is a 4-6 round fighter that’s it. If he fight Lopez next it would be career suicide on his part but hey he’s the actual WBC champion so the training wheels are off.

Yorkis Gamboa hurt P4P Terence Crawford, Jorge Linares almost KO the other so-called P4P, but Devin 'The Dream' real WBC champion, dominated Gamboa and Linares, the Legend-Killer is on a roll! Bring on Gary Russell jr, he'll get the same!

Of course we talk about Loma getting dropped. I talk about it every chance I get. This guy!

[jonnyc420]

Guess he was just hugging for dear life for the theatrics then right Hearn? He was hurt, and that is fine, he held on and still got the W in the end. Don't try and deflect or lie about something we all saw. Boxing fans are not dumb.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Boxing experts/journalist still had Bumachenko as #1. P4P, ahead of the true master-boxer in the sport, Terence 'Bud' Crawford. Devin Haney, out-boxed Jorge Linares and did not hit the canvas, like Vasily who was down on the judges score-cards. I think Devin Haney did better than that overrated bum, Lomachenka.

yup - Haney didn’t hit the canvass bc he resorted to a clench fest in the last 2 championship rds - literally diving into the crotch of Linares and man-hugging him like a lil ***** to the constant boos of the crowd . Then makes it embarrassingly worst and more pathetic by claiming he was NOT HURT after the fight...wat a Puzzy!! And lets get it right - Loma was down on ONE judges scorecard!! Don’t exaggerate Bro.

Winning 8-4 isn't dominating. That's just getting a solid decision. Loma was much further from being KOd than Haney was too, just because he ended up on his ass doesn't mean he was rocked nearly as badly.

Lomo was dropped but straight back up and back to work .Haney was staggered just before the bell and walked back to his corner on shaky legs looking at the floor , came out the next two rounds and was out of it , clung on for dare life. Hearn forgets that other people saw this fight , his man was saved by the bell!

Young Edward is making some intelligent and unbiased statements this week and this is one of them. Well said young man, you’re actually going against the sweet carolines on this one. Bravo old boy

[siablo14]

Loma wasn't hugging and holding on after. He beat Linares to a pulp after.

[wrecksracer]

"People Don't Talk About Linares Dropping Loma"? Yes they do. All of the time. They talked about it before the Haney fight constantly.
