Comments Thread For: Photos: Devin Haney, Joseph Diaz - Face To Face in Las Vegas

[_original_]

I hope this is a good fight but I just think Haney has to much of a size and skill advantage. Funny thing will be midget Jojo changing down Haney while he tries to keep him off with his feather dusters.

Get the fuck outta here!

You didn't answer the question though I can't remember who he fought either so remind me.

Should be a good fight Haney has skills but nothing crazy he might be able to outbox JoJo Gary Russell style but I think JoJo is going to cause more problems than everyone thinks. He's not the biggest puncher but he has been in with way bigger punchers than Haney so I think he can handle whatever is thrown at him. The pressure might be the key on points if JoJo can get on the inside and smother Haney we could have a long night. If I was betting I'd say Haney by UD but I'm hoping for a JoJo TKO in round 11.

Was Haney painting his apartment before he took this pic?

Haney is a large lightweight, Diaz is a small lightweight moving up in weight. Haney a little more polished and wins by UD. Hopefully his purse is enough to get him a new hoodie, lol.

Big size difference but jojo has the experience i hope he tests haneys chin like linares did

I will be betting Diaz at +400 for $50. I want to parlay it with Isaac Cruz, but I dont think he has enough juice to give Davis any issues.

Haney looks worse and Jojo looks better. Last time out, Haney was clutching Linares and stumbling like a drunk, he got touched and all the slick flew out the window. Old, broke leg Gamboa was competitive with him, Haney is developing defects. Fortuna was a better win than both of those, Jojo may not hit hard, but I never saw him do the stanky leg.

If Diaz had better pop than Id say he has a great chance but he doesn't and hes smaller. Diaz does have skill but Haney is just as skilled and again hes bigger.

Style wise its pretty good tho because you cant move around against a southpaw as much as an orthodox fighter so itll force Haney to engage.

Lastly Diaz has been fighting a lot of southpaws so going against a quick orthodox fighter might leave him gun shy like against Russell. I hope not, I just found out Im going so I hope for a good fight.

How the hell should I know? I mean the the guy forfeited his title by accepting that bogus franchise championship belt. He simply refused to fight him. Vasiliy literally laid his title belt down at the feet of Devin Haney.

In any case, I believe the key to this match up is Haney's uppercut. If JoJo Diaz is able to cut off the ring and get inside on Haney; Then Devin would have to land some very vicious and wicked uppercuts on the inside in order to back Diaz up.

Lomachenko was injured and Haney got his title gifted through Gmail. The fight will be competitive I'm not denying that but Haney is nowhere the level he believes he is in his own mind.

De La Hoya, Trinidad, Vargas, etc all dropped early in their careers. DLH was dropped several times

Ray Leonard was dropped by Kevin Howard

Mayweather was wobbled and hurt by chop chop Corley

Thank God those weren't measuring sticks for how their careers would turn out
