[Mickey Pearson]

Teo getting spooked he realizing kambosos ain't going nowhere no matter how many times he changes the date lmao

Yeah I don't care anymore about this fight either...in fact the entire 135 Division QUICKLY becoming a JOKE because you got Young Fighters who already think they're the New Mayweather. Also what is going on with Haney is a disgrace, people are ducking the opportunity of a Title Shot and going in a different direction just not to fight Haney and yet a lot of fan are very quiet on this because I guess they don't like Haney

Fact is, watching Haney fight is like watching paint dry. Boring and no excitement.

Before you throw a fit over that statement and say it’s boxing not rock em sick em robots. Well, I love a technician who can box a guys ears off, it’s a thing of beauty. But fact is after boxing a guys ears off for over half the fight. Those type of fighters need to step on the gas and get the guy out of there. Now with what happened to Haney in the Linares fights he’s not going to be inclined to go for the kill against other top guys on the division.

Fact is Haney style of boxing is just blah and boring. Yes he’s young and fast, but dude just doesn’t have that IT factor about his game. Plus Haneys way of not getting hit with punches is to back up/run or hold. He can’t stay in the pocket and box a guys ears off and avoid punches ala prime James Toney.

Lopez lost all the hype he got from beating Lomo.

I will be glad to see who he chooses to fight after this one ( if it ever happens)

A "Source" has revealed that Teofimo Lopez vs. George Kambosos has been moved to Tuesday, October 26th, as not to interfere with the "Charlie Brown Halloween Special."

Oct 26th Re-runs of Doug begin. They're moving it to 11/26, get that post turkey coma viewership

"He Is Boring" is not only an excuses, it is also an Admission that "He Would Out Box Me" so I would rather not run the risk of losing to him and looking really bad in doing so. So instead they're choose to fight guys for no belt and not even more money all so that they don't have to be given a BOXING LESSON and made to look Silly

I've been critical of Haney, I absolutely hated the way he ended the Linares fight which was in in Survival Mode for the last few rounds after he got hurt. Also been critical of Shakur Stevenson and his last performance which was AWFUL! At that Age both still under 25, they should be taking more risk and should be pushing for Stoppages if they can. That being said..."BORING" is not good enough excuses to avoid fighting someone for a BELT and a Career High Payday! Eddie is sending out Good Offers, not like guys are being ask to go fight Haney Cheap

So these are Excuses! Clearly they don't think they can WIN against him

Agreed, and if anything Haney’s struggle in the later rounds against Linares should have top guys lining up to face him. They should be thinking “If Jorge Linares can hurt him then I can do it too”

Multiple fights have been rescheduled due to either Covid or other restrictions. How did you come up with that idea? Even the Canelo-Plant got moved so how is Teo’s hype gone?
It’s not his fault

[MaksBox]

Why the hell would they do it in NYC? They require proof of vaccinations and are essentially fully locked down. Explains why they are in MSG Theather and not the actual MSG. This has to be one of thr few fights on PPV that is at MSG Theather.

You are referring to Ryan Garcia when referring to fighters not wanting to fight for his belt. With Ryan, that dude is going to make his money no matter who he fights. He can fight lesser rated fighters and not take a big financial hit for not fighting Haney.

Fact is Haney needs Garcia more than Garcia needs him. Haney has a belt but brings no equivalent monetary reward which is what it takes if he wants Garcia to bless him with his biggest payday.

Haney can’t sell out his hometown even if he gave free tickets out.

Haney just doesn’t have a fan friendly style. At this point why would an up and comer like Garcia want to fight him at this point and potentially get himself made to look bad in a shhty fight. Haney needs to build himself up more on that fan and money front then I guarantee Garcia would be willing to take that risk.

Haney needs to fight Teo, or Tank to build his profile up. Because fighting the caliber he’s fought is not generating any spark in his quest to be noticed by that sports and casual world.
