Mikey, Beltran, Burn, and Linares all move to other weights, So who can this kid fight from the top 10 right now?

The winner of #4 Commey vs. #7 Chaniev. They fight February 2nd. That's who he's targeting!

Na man just na you are giving this South African who kept his hand low the entire fight and couldnt throw a straight punch to save his life more credit than he deserves I will never post on this forum again if Ndongeni becomes a world champion his best win is against a faded Fana who Barrera knocked out over a decade ago at super featherweight. Im not trying to hate on the guy I respect him because he got in the ring and didnt back down but he was supposed to lose tonight. This was supposed to be a showcase fight for Haney and in my opinion he looked average got the win no doubt about it but thats about it.

lol
The hype on Heinie is unreal. No way they let their eyes work as intended while watching him because otherwise they would start crying.
I mean, he keeps stepping up and according to them “looking special”, but to me the hype actually seems to be dying down after every performance. Almost like... hes actually not looking good.


Theres way too much riding on this guy.

Nice jabs from Haney.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Let's all calm down about Haney. Which other fighter in the Ring or Boxrec top 10 is he actually going to beat?

I get it - he looks like a strong boxer, he has good timing, strong jab and short, quick punches, but he is still somewhat one dimensional. His body work and inside game that came late tonight looked good but he deployed them against a fatigued opponent whose power he did not respect. Also, he has a nice 1-2 jab straight right, but I don't see a very wide menu of punches.

He needs time and more offensive skills before he can truly be a contender. Unless Mikey drops his belt and Haney can fight for a vacant title, I don't see a path to a world championship this year (though perhaps they will find him an interim or "regular" belt to fight for).

I'd actually like to see him against Ray Beltran. That would be a real test and would establish him as an actual "contender."

Did not see tonight's card.

I have never been sold on Haney.

Not sure what the rush is to be a contender.

Come on y'all, he clearly passes the "Eye Test".
