Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Dominates, Stops Abdullaev in Four For WBC Interim

Lots of people come back from being stopped. I know im in the minority but Ive always felt like people put to much emphasis on a loss. It seems to be limited to boxing, people dont write a talented fighter off in MMA when they lose. Maybe its the hype some of these guys get, I dont know.

With 3 round/15min fights there is more variance. I think thats one of the reasons MMA losses arent as damaging. If you fight 10-12rds/30-36mins & lose it says more about your limitations.

Obviously the level of the person you lose to is in play to some degree still, but that largely seems ignored cuz plenty of guys have turned pro fighting a half dozen high level undefeated amateur stars & those L's rarely if ever get excused you are just deemed a loser no matter if 4 of your 6 L opponents end up fighting for or winning a belt one day or w/e.

Hunter is really impressive in this fight. He has taken big shots and hasn't been hurt at all. His power is a lot better than I thought it was. I don't think he could beat Wilder, Joshua, Ruiz or Fury but I don't think he would be an easy win for any of them.

Kuzman all Power Punches and nothing else in between

Hunter reminds me a bit of Chris Byrd. Small HW with lots of moving around to survive the bigger guys. But not as talented.

my point was, he can win world titles if he moved down, or he can get a bit more money and possibily get badly hurt by guys who are outweighing him by 30-40+ lbs. hes just too small to be any real threat at HW, however these fringe guys, and big oafs like ustinov and this guy are tailer made for him.

Now that Usyk has moved up he can rule CW if he so choose IMO

Kuzmins given up

Kuzmin is so one dimensional.
