Round-by-Round: Devin Haney vs. Joseph Diaz - December 4, 2021

[bobcatbox]

haney's got a lot of nice things about him, but does have a bit of that fragile look

He handles that jab well and is very skilled. but no punch an yes he seems frail. I dont see a dominant future for him.

I feel like he’s been rocked in the last two fights on shots that were from smaller guys and not perfectly landed. A guy like Kambo or Garcia could seriously hurt him. The dudes at 140 will knock him out. He didn’t looked gasses at all, so maybe 135 is a good weight for him to stay at if he can beat Kambo.

was it a good win i dont know ,deppens if u rate jojo., haney showed he can take a shot has heart can box but i dont know

The opposite in my opinion, he was buzzed/stunned at times by a non puncher. He is frail as fk. Definitelly has tons of heart but I doubt he can take a shot.

but he did get hit loads and he didnt go down

[margaret thatcher]

haney got hurt there in the 12, so i dont know if it shows he can take a shot. he obviously isnt total glass but doesnt seem particulary sturdy to me when hit

i can see the ways that he might beat the other top guys, but also how theyd beat him. those fights gotta happen!

[brilo33]

jojo looked basic to me might be harsh but

Linarez a smaller guy? Linares is probably naturally bigger than Teo.

He’s a former super bantamweight.

Being int excellent shape and handling volume punching from a soft hitter is not the same as having to survive 12 rounds from a big hitter. Even a sub par hitter like Kambosos would be a challenge in my opinon.

[margaret thatcher]

not sure about that, at teo's age jorge was fighting at 126, that's not really 'much naturally bigger' stuff

i fancy Kambosos for that fight

15 years ago. He's been at 135 for the past 10 years. Haney was like a 115lb 13 year old when Linarez moved up to lightweight.

[IKSRTFO]

He's likely naturally bigger than Teo at the time Haney fought him.

And the Braves won the World Series.

I don’t see how Linares’s size relative to Haney at 13 matters at all.

We can agree to disagree though. It’s cool.

my money would be on Kambosos as well. my money would be on Teo over Haney too posibly even Ryan Garcia if he can get himself together.

nah, he's never been naturally bigger than teo at any point in his career. at teo's age he was only 126 and had to grow into lightweight, teo at 36 will prob be at least 147. thats because teo is naturally bigger. he'll probably be 140 already in his next fight, which linares has never even campaigned at

but i dont think id say lnares is small at 135, he's not some size monster but he's a decent size. not as big as a ryan garcia but bigger than a diaz or loma.

[caldo2025]

Yawn. What everyone thought would happen. JoJo just never had the work rate to even compete in this one. Haney is nothing that he and his team think he is. He’s a feather handed fighter that will never be able to beat a fighter with power and equal reach. Social media does not equal fight strength. So tired of these Teen Beat wannabes. Someone legit fight this kid soon. He’s junk

[margaret thatcher]

he's pretty good, clearly better than the b level guys, question is how he holds vs the best. 135 is dripping buckets full for these cats to fight each other. at least teo and loma fought. kambo wasnt even an elite guy a few weeks ago but he's in that group now. he showed bulls too

[TonyJ]

Double post

[TonyJ]

Haney reminds me a lot of Amir Khan he is a KO waiting to happen.

[gregregegg]

When did Haney convert to Islam? Never quite understood why sports start so often convert but hey each to there own. Think in a way it will help his career. Feel haney already has to lean into being a bit hated. If his fans tune in want him to win and his haters tune in praying he gets knocked he will get viewing good figures. Few “ Alhamdulillah”s is sure to get some hillbilly Americans tuning in hoping to see him knocked...

[margaret thatcher]

i didnt know about that

did he thank allah after or something

[DrDuke]

The big lipped b!tch won 116-112 on my card. Diaz gave the BLB a fight and landed the biggest shots of the bout, but he clearly got outboxed in the majority of rounds.

[gregregegg]

i didnt know about that

did he thank allah after or something

Yea he said he wanted to thank god (pretty standard in usa) then said “ahamdaalah praise be to alah” caught me a bit off guard.
