Devin Haney vs Jorge Linares

[Mammoth]

Sources: Devin Haney and Jorge Linares are in talks for a potential lightweight fight on April 17 on DAZN. Would be a tremendous fight in the ring and a big step up for one of the sport’s rising stars

I like it

Not sure what's up with Fortuna though.

That’s what I was gonna ask. Isn’t he mandatory?

Yes, 2nd mandatory after Ryan

Like this as well. Haney isn't a big puncher either so Linares isn't going to have to worry about getting KTFO.

The exact type of fight Haney needs.

Fortuna can fight Tank next.

[KTFOKING]

Yes, 2nd mandatory after Ryan

So Fortuna gets the winner of Haney/Linares?

I really don't know, man.

I like it. Good contrast in styles. Linares has been a bit overrated in the past but I think this would be his best chance at picking up a big win. Teo, gervonta and Ryan all win by KO imo. Devin will have to outbox a guy who has yet to be outboxed.

If so, back to back wins over Linares and fortuna puts Haney in a pretty good spot. No one can use the "he hasn't fought anyone" excuse anymore.

Yeah, that would be very good for Haney. He's not getting Lopez/Tank/Garcia any time soon. That's the next best thing right there.
