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

[VashDBasher]

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.

Let’s be real here. Loma put Linares away in impressive fashion. He faced adversity in that moment and responded brilliantly.

People constantly talk about Loma being dropped lol, yet he got up and continued to box

Not to mention that he put Linares away with that sweet body shot not too long after getting dropped.

Lomachenko is a featherweight fighting at lightweight.

I noticed Hearn didn’t mention this.

Haney is making such a big deal about this lol thin skinned guy.

Loma didn't make it a full 12 round fight, he ended it with a stoppage. Haney couldn't, and Linares was not as good as he was against Loma.

[Pac=Duran]

Loma came back to Ko the bigger man who was on a 6 year 12 fight win streak though

[Smash]

linares is still a good test for anyone, hes a good fighter

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 has a 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

Well, perhaps because any sensible person would think that getting Bambi legs is worse than suffering a flash knockdown.

and escorted back to his corner

Linares did better against Lomachenko than he did Haney.
