[Boxing] Haney vs Gamboa WBC World Lightweight Title

[posi]

[Many believe that this fight is a joke as Gamboa's career in boxing is done and this would be an easy fight for Haney but on the other hand, this fight could serve as another fight for Haney to be busy while the other big names in this category is busy preparing for their respective fights.

Thought on this upcoming fight guys.

Betting odds not yet on bookies as of this writing.

Haney have a good chance with age to win the fight but saying Yuriorkis Gamboa career in boxing is done is an over statement because he's actually not older than Mayweather Jr and Pacman what could make his career end so soon. Besides, the last time I checked the Cuban cant be underestimated when it come to boxing and for his to choose Haney as opponent he definitely want to prove something to the world.

I agree that saying Gamboa's career is done is an overstatement but as we look at his record on the tail end of his career we could say that he is on a decline. He was once a feared champion and there are even talks of him taking on Manny Pacquiao but unfortunately it did not happen. Though he performed well on his last fight against Davis, i think, him being a champion is far from reality against a young champion in Haney.

Terrence Crawford was the reason why he couldnt fight with Manny Pacquiao then but his boxing career was affected ever since he was arrested and charged for two misdemeanor battery charges of domestic violence with his ex and when he was accused of biogenesis performance enhancing drug.
I believe his fight with Haney is a wayfor him to re-write his history.

Everything will change for Gamboa if he beat Haney, we can say the same thing with Haney, they both want this fight it's the end of the road oft Gamboa and a big start for Haney but if Haney losses here he will have no chance to fight Garcia for a bigger paycheck, he really wants Garcia's head and this fight could make it happen.

This fight being the chance for Gamboa was the reason why I believe he still the chance to beat Haney cause he ought to get back in the ring next year and for him to want the fight this year mean Gamboa is up to something. However, Haney thirsty for Garcia as an opponent doesn't justify him being the winner of his fight with Gamboa.

[Mahanton]

Gamboa has nothing to lose here, he already had a success in boxing when he was still young, the big risk here is on the young fighter, he should not underestimate an experience boxer who has experience to be a champion in his journey as a boxer. TBH, the odds of Gamboa is really attractive.

Gamboa is lucky to be fighting again after losing to Davis that could mean that promoters still trust him and boxers still has huge respect to his boxing skills and he is still a threat, we may have an upset here and if this happen, this is going to be candidate for the upset of the year, so Haney should be very careful here, Gamboa is still dangerous.

When you are in the ring then dont consider the fight as good as done until you knocked out your opponent.I dont know why other people do talk about Gamboa's career is done yet if we do look on it , he's still capable and been also respected by lots. When it comes to experience then there no doubt that Gamboa do have it but it doesnt mean that he should take Haney too lightly.I agree on the fact that Gamboa has nothing to lose
here but this fight would be important to prove out that he's still worth and still have the fire.For Haney then this wont really be an easy match and he know on whats being staked on here.

Exactly my view on this Battle between the two great future champions, Haney just like other young fighters are hungry for fight because of they exclusive training and hunger for winning any ways I wish him all the best after all there is always a first time of trying some thing way  bigger than you that is what champions are known for.

checking popular sportsbooks, they havent listed this match yet. but joshua vs. pulev happening on nov 8 are already in major bookies.
 seems that we are going to see the odds by late october here. both camps for sure is training hard so as not to lose their upcoming opportunities in their respective careers.

The talented young boxer Devin Haney said it was not easy to beat Yuriorkis Gamboa, but if he manage to beat the 2004 Olympic
gold medalist. Haney's name will skyrocketed even more, therefore Haney will try to fight with his best ability to defeat Gamboa.
And in the last fight against Gervonta Davis, Gamboa only lost on points, this proves Gamboa has strong power. Therefore Davis
ensures he will not underestimate this fight, because the end goal is not Gamboa. Rather they want to face Gervonta Davis, Lomachenko
or Teofimo Lopez. I predict with young Haney, ambitious and has a high posture. Will be able to beat Gamboa, I bet on Devin Haney's victory.

There's already some images of Haney going back in the gym to train for his fight with Gamboa.

The kid is already grinding very hard for this match. He did some sparring and he says that his shoulder feels goes after coming from an injury.

"Today was the first day of hard sparring,” said Devin Haney after finishing sparring for the day. “I am glad to be back in the ring after my shoulder injury, and I am glad to be doing what I love, competing at the highest level of the sport of boxing. Injuries are a part of the sport, but it still doesn't make working through them any less difficult. I feel better now than before my injury."

Or the promoter is low balling him as they know that Gamboa will not refused that paycheck because he is already a shot fighter and the promoters are putting him against a young prospect, so he is still good, not totally damage but in the decline already. So winning against a Gamboa is good on someone's resume like Haney who is climbing the ranks. Gamboa's chin is no longer there, he could fight  to the distance but he doesn't have that gas to really go to 12 rounds without losing power.

And Gamboa is really has a lot of catching up to do with his career, he was with Top Rank early on with his career, but the relationship turns ugly,  Bob Arum filed a lawsuit against Gamboa, and for years Gamboa's career was in limbo. When the lawsuit was settled, and he come back fighting, it was a different Gamboa then, so he lost a lot of potentail fights during that lawsuit.

One video of Haney in training and it mitts, something or his boxing fans to cheer.

As I have said, this kid has started his training and grinding it hard for his fight with a (wash up) Gamboa.

[TravelMug]

^^ The is serious power in mitts, however this is just too early and maybe he is trying to get his condition back, I wonder though when he is doing his jogging, somewhat his poster is awkward???

Interesting division though 135 lbs there is a lot of names in their including Loma, so there is a possibility that the winner of this could face the winner of Loma vs Lopez? The problem I just see is that there are too much variations of those belts, currently Loma holds the franchise belt and then Haney as regular champion? Lol, it's really getting confusing.

Few days before the fight and the odds is already out in my favorite bookies but unfortunately not a tempting one if you are a Haney fan.

Though on the twilight of his career, Gamboa could still hold his ground against a young Haney and a high probability that this could go to the distance. Haney via unanimous decision is my bet here, hope they would put that market soon.

Yeah, not very tempting, but as go with what round Haney are going to win, although it might be very difficult to predict. I would say that Haney will go for a knock out here, he don't want to go the judges score card because he is looking for a statement win as well, just like what Davis did a week ago. And then he will call out Davis for sure.

Gamboa though is not very easy, Haney needs to be perfect in this fight, remember that Davis knock out Gamboa as well, but Haney should upstage Davis by knocking him out in the 5-10 rounds.

A knockout win by Haney is what the fans need to see but i doubt if that is also Davis' promoter wants to see  . He should call out Mayweather instead of Davis as the latter is calling the shots of the former's career. Hope the Pretty Boy won't ruin the career of Davis by feeding him picked opponents.

For sure the bookies will gonna add more odds for this fight soon.

Haney seems like a promising fighter but he is lagging behind the rest of the division. He is fighting the weakest competition right now and nobody takes him seriously as a world champion because he did not win his title in the ring. First he won an interim title and then he was elevated to regular champion, then he got injured and lost his title but then he was reinstated. We know that Teofimo Lopez is the real champion of this weight class and all these secondary titles are unnecessary. Hopefully they all fight each other and we get to see who is the best out of Lopez, Haney, Garcia or Davis.

This is just another step up on the competition, how can you say that he is fighting weakest competition when Davis fought Gamboa as well. He maybe one step behind, but for sure, just like what Davis this, after winning a fight against Gamboa, he level up, fighting Leo (but I don't know if you could consider it leveling up, as Leo is also a weak champion). Being said that, those young and talented players are just being set up by their managers to fight a cherry pick fighter, to look good. But we have to wait till everyone of them fight each other, boxing politics, and of course the money in the table could be a big factor.

I believe FinneysTrueVision is Teofimo Lopez fan because Lopez once claim Haney to be an email Champion due to the way he won his title. Honestly, if Haney want to indeed defend his title he ought to take on Lopez rather than Gamboa which was said to be a washed-out fighter but he seems prepared for this fight though cause he said "he COMEBACK is always Greater than the setback Going for the Green Belt ".
If Gamboa did win this Saturday then Haney is totally an email Champion.

Gamboa is a gatekeeper coming off a loss. It wouldn't be such a big deal if Haney already had some decent names on his record and took this as a stay busy fight, but his last fight, which was over a year ago, was already a stay busy fight. Davis might not have the greatest record but he has now fought Pedraza and Santa Cruz, who are both mult-weight champions.

Thanks for that information, unfortunately I still can't find that betting odds in my sportsbook now, I'm just surprise with the odds TBH because I thought Gamboa here is still a dangerous fight who could beat his opponent, so not that too underdog for this fight.
