Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Sr. On Devin Haney: "Once You Get Away From That Jab, He's F------ Dead"

[factsarenice]

First, Teo's opponents always seem to have a better jab than Teofimo, some even had a longer reach. Second, Devin and Teofimo both spent a lot of time in the same gym. Obviously Bill Haney knows boxing well enough to know that Teo is a very bad match-up for Devin. Garcia is a risk but he can be out boxed and for that reason I suspect Ryan Garcia is going to be Bill Haney's preferred opponent.

Teofimo is an aggressive pressure/counter puncher with speed and if he shows up to fight Devin gets knocked out. Style wise, Teo is poison.

Lopez will continue to duck just like he did at 135. It's always going to be some kind of excuse. Guaranteed

Not about ducking for Lopez, it's about not being dictated around.
I think he's being motivated this time just like when he wanted Loma.

I know he has fallen off but how would Haney fair against the version of Josh Taylor who beat Prograis?

Similar to the way Teo beat Josh Taylor

[Nightfall]

They have zero intentions on fighting Haney

Everyone beats Devin & do so easy when you ask them about fighting him, but the guys who've gotten in the ring with him haven't had that experience.

Love or hate Devin the guy is moving like I wish more mfers moved today. If more mfers fought quality guys every fight boxing would have more fans week to week instead of fair weather fans who just show up on the big PPV fight night.

Problem is, you have to get away from that jab and that's a tall order to fulfill.


I'm not a fan of Haney but he's standing on his business.

Bold:

I don't see that. Teofimo is probably equally skilled, albeit in different ways, to Haney but I am not envisioning this very bad match up.

Teo can box, he can move, he has good power. Some laps in focus but nothing Haney can't fight for 12 rounds against.

Why do you think he is a very bad matchup for Haney?

[Nightfall]

I think Lopez explosiveness and ability to close the gap so quick would give Devins all kinda problems and I could possibly see a mid to late round stoppage .

Haney will beat Lopez easily just like he did to Kambosos

[Beercules]

I hope this fight gets made.

[jqSide]

Just make the fight happen doe. Enough talking. Talk is cheap.

Lopez is fighting Jamaine Oritz next, while Haney is fighting Garcia.

Just win your repective fights, then start the negotiations right away for the Mexican holiday.
