Rene Alvarado. Jayson Velez. Andrew Cancio. Horacio Garcia. Manuel Avila. Victor Terrazas (shot to pieces). Gary Russell Jr. Jesus Rojas. Tevin Farmer. Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov. Javier Fortuna. And now Devin Haney. Has defeated six world champions. Only defeat is obviously to Russell, who is extremely talented. I expect him run Haney pretty hard, and hopefully he gets the verdict. WAR JOJO!!!!!!!
This is Diaz' third fight this year. That's very nice to see from an upper level guy, especially when none of the fights are gimmes. I have to think Haney learned a lesson in his last fight against Jorge Linares .... stop listening to everyone else. He tried to prove he wasn't a finesse guy and he just about had his head handed to him. He's lucky he was facing an older Linares. I believe Haney reverts to being a pure boxer and he will decision Diaz, 8 rounds to 4.
Diaz was my favorite Olympian that year. Though he didn't medal i saw a fantastic pro style I am rooting for Haney but wouldnt be shocked if he pulled a kambosos
I expected him to return to earth all year but he just keeps delivering. If he had more natural size I would instantly pick him but I think Haney will be able to use the size advantage.
Haney is bigger and faster. He may even be stronger. Gonne be tough for Diaz but if his head is right he will make it a battle.
Jojo is natural featherweight, Haney is natural welterweight. I hope Jojo beats him bad, but will it happen in reality ? I'm not sure.
Jojo is a featherfisted kangaroo arm leprechaun who has no right being up at 135 and who IMO lost his only fight at this weight and he's giving away a whopping 7'' in reach to giant 135 pounder Haney Let's send this one down to the lab shall we Size comparison This content is protected This content is protected But when GRJ calls out Terry Crawford they call him crazy GRJ: ''I'll fight Terence Crawford at 147'' This content is protected
Yep, Jojo wasn’t drained at 126 and was smaller than GRJ. He’s fighting a guy who is bursting at the seams at 135 and the same size as Crawford who is not a small WW. Diaz has tiny T-Rex arms and is a natural Featherweight. He’s game but easy to hit, going up against a faster, bigger, stronger, younger guy. Haney struggled with Linares and couldn’t KO him in a fight that was designed to highlight Haney. I like Diaz as a featherweight but don’t think this will be a competitive fight unless I’ve totally overestimated Haney. Jojo is a good guy and I’m glad he’s getting a payday but he couldn’t beat Valdez or Stevenson, he’s not going to beat Haney.
Yeah it's a real size mismatch. It might be different if Jojo could really crack or wasn't giving away so much natural size and length, but unfortunately he can't punch through cobwebs and all these huge physical advantages Haney holds over him are going to make this very difficult for him.
