ya he's on the corner, that's why the poor kid has nowhere to sit

[ironbeard]

Rd 8 - BIG LEFT HANEY does not move Linares. Big shots Haney. Going to body now. Linares digs deep. Linares game as they come. Just too big a hill.

10-9 Haney

[lazboy]

Dominant rd by Haney who is loading up and walking linares down. Not sure how much more linares can take. High pace fight.

7-1

79 - 73 Devin, decision or not, he is one special talent and could deliver great things.

[ironbeard]

[ironbeard]

10-9 Linares
97-93 Haney

Haney hurt.

[JxhDel.]

If Devin doesn't screw this up, he is going to comfortably win.

[lazboy]

Rd10 another close and swing rd. Linares for me who wobbles Haney last second:

[lazboy]

R/1 Haney hurt for the first half. Holding constantly. No output: linares however not enough gas in the tank, couldn’t capitalise. Takes rd 11 though.

[ironbeard]

Rd 11 - Haney still hurt!! Come on Linares!! Haney hanging on. Linares can win this. Haney comes on a bit. Linares gets rough.

10-9 Linares
106-103 Haney

[JxhDel.]

Smart cover-up round for Haney, clearly feeling some shots by Linares.

[ironbeard]

Rd 12 - they come out throwing. Linares final warning for rabbits. Haney potshots. Linares attacks Haney lands big. Haney hangs on after right hand. Haney ready to fall.

10-9 Linares
115-113 Haney

[lazboy]

Linares takes rd 12. Haney hurt again and his reaction, holding. The crowd doesn’t like it.

Haney clearly lacks power and he fades. Brilliant front runner though.

Great learning fight for him...valiant effort from linares.

[ironbeard]

Great job by Linares!! What a job. Haney got worn down after trying too hard for the ko. Haney is a good fighter but not top shelf with Lomassiah and Teo.

[gregregegg]

Haney got cocky got pretty hurt. Ended up hugging for dear life. Imagine how good Haney would be with power, would if starched linares in a round.
Haney is great but shouldn’t get baited into tradding in range so much, stick to being slick and win shutouts. Haney wide.

[margaret thatcher]

haney is great?

not so sure about that

[lazboy]

Great job by Linares!! What a job. Haney got worn down after trying too hard for the ko. Haney is a good fighter but not top shelf with Lomassiah and Teo.

Depends if he’s a fighter that learns. If he learns from this experience he could be top shelf. He performed brilliantly the first 6 rounds, almost flawlessly. He has the potential. Needs to be smarter though and play the long game as he won’t be blasting anyone out early it seems.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Never a haney fan. Doesn't have "it"

Wins a win i suppose

[lazboy]

haney is great?

not so sure about that

Right now, no. The potential is there. Brilliant jab for example.
