Comments Thread For: Devin Haney vs. Alfredo Santiago Finalized For November 9

[Bob Haymon]

He went after Campbell and Lomachenko.

Is it truly his fault he didn't get to fight them? Loma actually refused to fight him.

They never even negotiated to fight. Loma was always going to fight the Commey-Lopez winner. Haney is just trying to get some fame off Loma's name. If I beat up a bunch of bums and call out Deontay Wilder and he won't fight me it doesn't mean Deontay is ducking me. If Haney wants the Loma fight he should start fighting bigger names or Hearn should come up with enough money to make it worth fighting Haney instead of more accomplished in-house opponents like Teo, Commey, and Berchelt.

a whole week to prepare!

Of course spoon feed him a guy with no power little experience

Has a fight ever been announced/finalized with so little time to prepare?

Haney is ducking anybody ranked in the top 30. Loma won't even bother looking his direction as long as he's still being fed cab drivers.

Santiago was training for a fight November 30th so he's been in camp. Hearn & Company dropped the ball with Petrov because he isn't in the WBC top 15 and they didn't bother trying to get him ranked before the new rankings came out

He’ll never be a star as long as he fights on an obscure app no Americans have

As long as he's with Hearn he won't get and big fights. He doesn't know what he's doing in America. Farmer, Andrade, and Haney have all lost momentum since signing with Hearn. No young African American should sign with Hearn. He doesn't understand that market and he's too arrogant to realize it.

If Javier Fortuna wins later tonight , and Davin Haney wins next week then its should be set right?

It's the other way around idiot. He is trying to fight all big names and champions and they want no part of him. Grow up.

well the tops won't fight him. As soon as he became the #1 contender boringchenko got franchised out of the fight. 🥊

Who did he even beat to be #1 contender though?

The big names aren't gonna fight you when you have zero name recognition. There's at least two dozen other guys Haney could have been fighting to elevate his profile, instead he fights a bum on an early undercard for two YouTube clowns.

Haney holds the WBC title. Once you are a title holder, you are a player in whatever division you are in. That makes your argument invalid.

Haney is a household name, and earned his #1 ranking and then earned the Interim title. He earned his position to fight Loma. Loma should have either fought him before the Teofimo-Commey fight (honoring his mandatory) or should fight him after since the WBC decided to remove his mandatories.

Go spew that nonsense somewhere else.

Household name Haney couldn't sell out Hulu Theater and needed Serrano and Hardy to sell most of the tickets. He's fighting on some YouTubers' undercard, he's not even the co-feature. Champions can ignore mandatories in favor of unifications. Teo and Commey are fighting the best available guys in each other so they should precede Haney. Berchelt is a longtime belt holder and is trying to fight Valdez to earn his shot at Loma so he should also precede Haney. Loma has options and Haney doesn't bring anything to the table. Hearn needs to pay up a career high payday and then some if Loma is going to give up big paychecks against more recognizable fighters.
