    I am glad to see this happening. These are the fights that should be getting made. Give me Lopez by TKO in the 10th

    As much as I hate both of these guys, I guess I'm going to have to force myself to root for the lesser of the two evil scumbags here, which is Lopez. That being said, stylistically Haney is going to be a nightmare for him. Lopez is terrible at cutting the ring off, and lost to Kambosos, and should've lost to Martin and Ortiz, because they were the elusive counter punchers in the equation. But Teofimo will definitely lay hands on him, lets just hope that once he does, he buzzes him, and he stays buzzed and out of sorts, just like he was against Garcia, and Lopez takes full brutal advantage of it.

    If Haney wins this there'll be so much pressure to include him in a top ten p4p ffs.

    Yeah I think that Haney will win some rounds but his confidence is down ever since Garcia whopped his ass he fought scared against Ramirez so lets hope he doesn't run too much from Teo. Agreed about Teo not being the best at cutting off the ring but I think he will time Haney similar to how Garcia did. Garcia was too wild to get the finish allowing Haney to hold and survive I think if Lopez has him hurt he will finish him.

    Shameful of Turki to put on Haney. No one wants to see him fight again

    Very interesting clash of styles. Leaning towards Haney.

    Should be interesting although I’m almost certain that it won’t be the firefight that people are gonna be hoping for. It’s most likely going to be a rather uneventful dull fight based on styles. Teo is a counterpuncher that relies on his opponents to come to him and Haney is going to do everything he can to be on the move without going forward. Teo’s inability to cut the ring off will surely give Haney the edge in outboxing him in spots.

    I’ll be rooting for Teofimo to pull it off but something tells me Haney’s style is going to be a nightmare for Teo. However, Teo does have the power to hurt Haney. The question would be if Teo is able to finish what Garcia had started against Haney.

    Awesome! Not gonna be fireworks, but It'll be very interesting to see how it unfolds nonetheless.

    The ref will be a key factor, how much clinching he'll allow. Haney is dull as hell but he showed toughness against juiced up Garcia, so gonna go with him by close decision.

    Teo won't look good here. All he has to do is jab Haney to the body and he can win it but you don't know what Teo will show up

    I don't like either fighter from an entertainment standpoint. But Devin will probably win. Teofimo has no clue on how to fight coming forward. He is legitimately terrible at it. Devin will just be fighting off the back foot all night, avoiding exchanges and landing just enough to win rounds. The fight will be super boring unless Teofimo hurts Devin. I'm convinced that after the Ryan fight, Bill told Devin that they aren't going to worry about satisfying the crowd. Just focus on winning and if that continues, the money will be there.

    Douche v Douche for the Undisputed Douchebag Championship. I do agree though, Lopez is the less douchier of the two. I think Lopez wins.
