Surely we are not calling the WBC title "regular" now....

[JxhDel.]

I am. Expecting short matches and explosive finales.

[JxhDel.]

And one. Raymond ford is a prospect to see, though.

[JxhDel.]

Another heavy stoppage by my shqipe Mati, hope he steps it up asap.

[Perseus]

.....I keep expecting the ring announcer to say: "da plane, da plane"

[JxhDel.]

A match too short to judge Biyarslanov, but he can make every punch count. This tartar new wave of boxers is something.

[JxhDel.]

At least they are not screwing around before Haney vs Gamboa.

[gregregegg]

Who is the announcer that called for zhang vs chisora? Chisora would murder him. Id like to see him vs Dave Allen or Dave price. they are fun fights.

[lazboy]

This is my first time seeing Hrgovic and he seems like an intelligent fight but at the same time he slap-punches (in my opinion). Arm punches is probably a better descriptor.

[JxhDel.]

Another Hrgovic dominant massacre against an easy guy. He is still a lot rigid.

[bobcatbox]

Haney controlling the fight and winning easily so far. 3-0 for Devin Haney.

[lazboy]

Haney's a good technician who lacks that natural pop and any special effects. He's the least interesting emerging talent/star around that weight.

[lazboy]

Very uneventful, one-sided and boring fight.

[JxhDel.]

Freaking heck, Haney, I am almost sleeping here.

[bobcatbox]

Indeed. Gamboa is shot and Haney does not have much power. Haney a ton of talent though.

Had it 120-107 for Devin Haney.

[victor-romeo]

That was a total mismatch Gamboa going to be 39 in December blown up feather weight, with a bad legs , man that was boring, like to see Haney in with better competition, somebody like Commey the fighter Lopez Ko'd to get his title..

[JxhDel.]

119 - 108 for Haney. Man, another waste by Devin.

[gregregegg]

Haney looked good. could see how some found it less than exciting... Haney needs big fights, hope people recognise his title as the real WBC title because thats what it is and he is going to need it to convince people to fight him.

Very much want to see Haney vs Loma, Teo, Davis, Garcia. would happily watch Lineares. but then he Will fill into a nice 140 and 147er down the track.

[Boxing Prospect]

DAZN doing refunds after that? Thank god they got that it out before the global launch

[Evander]

Couldn't stop Gamoa.
Can't see people clamoring for him at this point can you, he needs more than this.

[Cent0089]

Man this whole card was pure trash

Na, one website called it that. But really, he ain’t the WBC champion.

He said Sulaiman told him Top Rank were selling Loma-Teo as undisputed, when it really wasn’t..

mmm but he is, and as much as he isnt the most deserving, i think its got to be accepted (to a degree, all belts are only as good as the champ that holds them). I mean, is jermall charlo not WBC champ because canelo was real champ and got elevated?

There have been plenty of undeserving belts given, i just put this down as one of them. WBC franchise is a mess and whoever made it should be kicked in the shins for the rest of time, but it is what it is, till someone gets rid of it.

[NateJR]

Not a great performance from Haney. He showed he's a highly skilled fighter, but he needs to stop guys like Gamboa.

Haney is still a problem at 135, but he looks to be a bit of a spoiler. He can out box some of these more explosive guys I reckon, but not many people will be willing to fight him. The only thing he has going for him is the WBC belt, that might lure in some of the big names.
