[Boxing]: Haney vs Linares - May 29

[freedomgo]

Haney shows his technical skills and survived a late flurry from Linares. He was really hurt at the end of round 10, his legs are wobbling, but it seems that Linares has punch him out in the fight and couldn't make a follow up on the last 2 rounds.

Not boring fight to me, but it could be more exciting if we can see some knock downs. Love Haney's sharp jab, thing is that he has no power, as Linares said post fight.

He is a good technical boxer no doubt about it, but for his opponent to say that he has no power which is obvious based on what I saw in the fight, will give him lesser chances against hard-hitting boxers like Davis and Lopez, he is a very dominant boxer but it takes away the notoriety like what Davis and Lopez is showing in their fights, these two fighters have ended and can end the fight with one punch something that's lacking with Haney

I would agree with that as I saw the highlights, when Haney was a bit frustrated trying to KO Linares, he was a bit careless and sometimes he got hit with a solid punch, and he is lucky that punch came in the late rounds when Linares was already tired.

Compared to Davis and Lopez, I agree with you that Haney is less powerful.

Well, we get what they serve, if that's all they can do, we have no choice but to accept it. Haney did his best but the speed of Linares really made the difference. I think Linares knows about the sharp jab and had removed it's power early so that might be the reason why it didn't have power.

Haney is also strong, he looks like he is getting tired in the end but he was able to accept some heavy punch from Linares, bad thing is that Linares only showed up in the later rounds, he will never win a game that way he fought as it did not impress the judges. However, I would say he still did well as he survives a 12 round fight against a heavy favorite Haney.

I would say it's a good fight for both of them but i think it's the end now for the career of Linares, he can't keep up with the big boys now and he is like a steeping stone for some of the young and some prospects in this sport of boxing. He can no longer have that championship belt.

As for Haney, a fight with Garcia or Davis will get him some of this elusive respect which i think he deserve at this point. Surviving and winning against Linares was the biggest test of his young career thus far.

i really thought linares won the fight since he is the only so far that had hit harder that wobbles the legs of Haney. this is where he waves his hands to show this way to his corner. the old man still has his gear working. that combo i think should have mattered to the judges. very close scores so it deserves a rematch. probably going to be settled when Haney loses against Davis.

So it's now official, Haney will be facing Linares for his WBC Lightweight title. This is going to be an exciting and close fight. Linares gave Loma all he can take and even score a flash knock down, and obviously he has the experienced in this fight. So Haney will be tested here for sure, but I think he can adjust and will probably win by decision here.

Ok as I have thought, this will be a decision win for Haney. And I agree that this is the biggest test for him and I will grade him 7.5 out of 10. Good technical skills and that jab? one of the best in this decision. But a fight with other 135 lbs will be very hard for Haney as he didn't possessed any power. Sooner or later he will get caught and his chin will not hold. Linares almost broke his chin. Ryan Garcia which he wanted to fight will definitely crack that if he touches with his left hook.
