    Yes, Pitbull will rearrange his jaw and put it back into place after the mess Garcia made of it. Perfect.

    Yes. Forget all these people asking for a.soft touch.

    Why should people pay their hard earnt money to watch him in a non competitive fight he's guaranteed to win. No one wants that.

    Very dangerous. Haney most likely needs to take a long time to recover. He took a career-shortening ass beating. Emmanuel Steward said fighters chins get permanently cracked if they take back-to-back beatings with not enough time to recover in-between. On top of that, a lot of fighter can become haunted and gun-shy after a huge ass beating and/or nasty KO. Think Lennox Lewis and Anthony Joshua after their KOs. Haney is obviously way bigger and longer, and Pitbull is somewhat one-dimensional, but if he gets clipped, he might go full on panic mode and end up getting knocked out bad.

    pressure fighters with power, Haneys kryptonite. No way

    Hearn already said it's Sandor Martin

    I can imagine Haney becoming gun shy/panicking.

    Seeing how Devin leaves his head on the straight line and shows no head movement, I think Cruz is a terrible fight for Haney. Cruz is a fire cracker that has no end to the fuse. Just keeps going forward. Bad matchup for Haney

    Has Haney ever fought a real go getter like Cruz in the pro ranks? Cruz is a good fighter, young and seems to be getting better. He definitely has learned to cut off the ring, which would cause Haney to be in range a lot more than I'm sure he's comfortable with. Add a ref that doesn't allow excessive holding and that is a recipe for disaster.

    Him and his dad still says he is the best at 140, then why the hell not. Cruz is one of the top at 140.

    Barboza needs to retire. Never want to see that guy on a maincard again.

    About as good a comeback as Adonis Stevenson was as a comeback for Chad Dawson after the Ward loss...................
