Two counterpunchers.....oh god is this going to be boring.

Teo is not as bad as Devin but he wrinkles my nose sometimes. He can have a bad day, why put him in with a rabbit? We know who is the hunter and who is the game. Like Elmer and Bugs Bunny.

I actually think this willl be a good fight. No one can change the fact that Haney stood toe to toe with a guy who was doped up on PEDs and kept getting up from knockdowns - and he was standing at the final bell. Contrast that to Garcia, who took a knee and consciously waited until the count reached “11” to rise in his first loss - and fled in terror tor 10 rounds after being knocked down early during a second loss. Haney isn’t going to “run” against Teo any more than he did during his other biggest fights (Garcia, Loma). I expect Teo to come ready to fight, too. May the best guy win - I expect it will be Haney by close but deserved decision.

Problem is that Devin didn't fight like that in his last fight against Ramirez. If Devin fights like he did against Ryan and Loma, it will be a good fight. Hopefully he fights like the Devin of old and not the Devin we just saw last month...

so the picture clears - of the 4 so called kings - it's Tank who wasn't interested in fighting the others except with a dehydration clause - at least they are fighting now - but far too late

Not interested, I can't stomach Bill Haney and don't give 2 shyts who his idiot son stinks out in another hug feast.

This one is a very fun and interesting contest which is long over due. Who wins?

It all depends on whether or not Haney is the same fighter he was before his fight with Ryan Garcia.

There was a reason behind Team Lopez’ ducking of Haney. Well perhaps this is the right time to take it.

Judging by these comments; Most boxing fans got Haney picked to win this fight. Teo may be a tad quicker.

However, he is also the smaller fighter with a shorter height and reach. Who can no longer hit as hard above 135 pounds.

This is a very bad style match up for Lopez. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Haney drops him to the canvas at some point in this fight.

[Coverdale]

It's a logical matchup, I wonder what the plan for Rolly is.

Nooo who wants this fight ffs, Haney running round landing a couple of jabs while teo can’t cut him off ffs. And in front of the sleepy saudis, should be epic. Haney needs to fight some scrubs to get his confidence back, and it’s not even gonna be for teos belt !

[BlackRobb]

He won't fight without his attorney in his corner.
