Good step up fight for Haney, although due to holding a belt..should already be passed this type of test. But, still a good one.
Nice. Looking forward to it. I think Haney will win in a pretty competitive fight. Linares’s skills and handspeed will always be a challenge. Salutions to both guys for taking on the tough opponent.
I got Haney by decision but this is a great fight. This is Haney's Garcia vs Campbell type step up. Linares showed some vulnerability against Morales in his last fight Morales was having some success in the opening two rounds and arguably won them but once Linares got his timing down for the short right all Morales's success went up in the air. I think haneys youth, defense, and speed will prove too much for Linares at this point in his career but Linares is a live dog and a dangerous fighter and if Haney doesn't take him seriously Linares could absolutely pull off a upset.
Would it really be a "huge upset" if Linares won? Don't get me wrong I fancy Haney at this point but this is his biggest test so far
this is a massive step-up for haney. Linares even if he has faded a little, is still an elite operator i think the fight is a tossup. props to haney for not padding his record and getting to the top level inmediately.
Lol. Meanwhile Haney was talking smack with Loma. Loma must be loosing his mind right now Loma lost a razor close fight to Lopez, and everyone just moved on from him. ****ing crazy.
