Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Boxes Past a Game Joseph Diaz For Unanimous Decision

[Lomadeaux]

Obviously, pro fighters like Loma, Tank, Garcia and Teo see something that some of these posters do not or they would jump in the ring with him quick and take that belt from him..

Did you just lump Loma in with those other three clowns? You must have watched a completely different fight last night then.

Devin gets stopped by both Lomachenko and Tank. Even Ryan Garcia has a good at sleeping him, Devin is too fragile and gets into survival mode whenever he gets clopped, he actually shows he’s hurt.

So, why aren't they in a hurry to fight him? Do they know something that you don't know?

Haney sucks, Lomachenko should figh him or Kambosos, they both beat Haney anytime, anywhere.

Say what you want about Haney, but he now has two better wins at 135 than tank and arguably loma.

Because he has the length and speed to just jab and get out the way. I agree that he doesn't have anything other than that....but that's all he needs to win on points. Anytime someone tries to close the gap, he just clinches. Very effective, boring fighter. No one can beat him.

I disagree. The jab and move style only works vs elite pressure fighters if the boxer has enough power to make the pressure fighter think twice about coming forward or the boxer stays on his bike for 36 minutes and doesn't make any mistakes. Haney has no power and he makes a lot of mistakes so I see him vs any of the top guys at 135 or 140 playing out exactly like Canelo vs BJS and Plant

Yet they won't fight him anytime, anywhere.

GK is lining him up right now. This is going to be a competitive fight for 2-3 rounds and then GK is going to run this kid ragged. Devin can box if he’s given time and space but trust me when I say that he is not a natural fighter like GK. Like AJ, you can see Devin thinking in there. When he gets tagged he has no instinct to fight back, GK is going to win that fight in dominant fashion.

Crazy that anyone who has watched fights for more than a week could think that Devin Haney can’t be beat. He’s going to lose his very next fight. Check back.

I hear you. I think Loma has arguably a better resume than the others overall. However, at 135, it's obvious he didn't want to fight Haney or else him and his team wouldn't have pushed for the franchise belt. Now, it's a business and I can respect that, so maybe Loma's team saw Haney as a high risk/low reward type situation. But he did avoid that mandatory, no question about that.

I saw the fight. Diaz is fighting 2 weight classes ABOVE his frame. That said, Haney did what he had too. I wasn’t impressed. Haney is working the Gotti angle. He looks like a welterweight in there. I wish he would fight Tank but both are terrified of each other. Let GK fight Garcia.
