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.

I'm expecting a very close odds here, although there is none yet for now, Haney might be slight favourite and ML might be good to bet here.

[TravelMug]

I agree that this is an acid test for Haney, amongst the 4 kings, (Lopez, Garcia, and Davis) he is the weakest I should say as he doesn't have a decent knock out power compared to the three. And Linares is very durable so I'm not sure if he can hurt him. Although he is very much older and probably he is damage good already. But he can still pull an upset here, just saying.

[Darker45]

I'm thinking that my money would go for Linares. An old man, yes, 13 years Haney's senior as a matter of fact, but I think he's still got the power in him. He's past his prime, no doubt about it, but so is Haney not yet thoroughly tested inside the ring. He's got a UD against the older and fading Yuriorkis. So I wouldn't consider it a test in his career.

This is going to be Haney's most challenging fight so far in his entire career. That's why with odds of 1/8 or at least -800 as per bet365, I think that's too high and simply not worth it. Linares' 9/2 or +450 seems more interesting to me.

A little brain teaser between Haney vs Linares.

Haney= (The Dream)
America: total matches: 25, Haven't lost for now, relatively young age: 22 years, Ever: won the boxing world champion in 2019.
Impressive.

Linares= (The Golden Boy)
Venezuela: 52 overall matches, with 5 defeats, age: 35, spent career in junior championships.

From both Careers between: (The Dream vs The Golden Boy) in boxing, full of question marks.....

One young, the other one is aged / advanced, 22-35, 13 years difference, very different ages, however, I predict Haney vs Linares this time and face to face this time is not highlighted by the age factor, Or expertise, experience etc., both of them have it all.

My belief this time is based on physical factors in the match and fighting for the champion this time, I'm not saying X won or Z won, I saw May 29 in the ring.

[Kemarit]

I might be thinking that this could be a tailor made fight for Haney. It will be really good if he could get a win and put Linares in his resume. Linares is good but it has shown one weaknesses, that is body shot. He could start good early, but most of his losses was due to gassing out from body shot.

I think Haney have seen the blue print on how to beat Linares. Jorge doesn't have the chin anymore, he was drop 3 times by Cesar Cano in the first round and lost that fight via stoppage (although that fight is 140 lbs).

So I wouldn't consider it a test in his career.

Even if the tiger is old, if you let your guard down, you will end up getting killed. Linares besides being older than Haney is more experienced than Haney which means that Linares has his ways to destroy Haney even if Haney is younger than him, you are right that it is going to be a challenging fight for him but I am rooting for Linares in this match.

Now, let's wait for the 29th of May and see where our money goes.

Anyway, I don't have a problem that Haney is ahead in the betting odds. That's reasonable enough. He's the young rising star, after all; the promising one. But I have some issues with how high it is that I am tempted to just risk my little amount to Linares, the only man who fell Loma. The man has not completely faded. I believe he's still got it in him. +450 for him is enticing enough.

I sincerely hope that this is not Linares underrating young Hanney. Although Linares has got the experience, there is something about the young blood. The burning desire to win and overcome. If Linares doesn't bend his back to train and practice hard for this fight Haney might just shock us all with a win.

[electronicash]

the champion wouldn't be a champion if he isn't a badass boxer. Linares is a precise hitter, you can tell by the way how he knocks his previous fights. it's going to be worrisome to see how he can cope up with the younger boxer while he isn't in his prime now. Probably a close fight if you just weigh in the experience. Daney has no loss, a power puncher and younger who can stand back up again once knocked.

[Jating]

This is a most watch match, we have waited for this for so long linares age not withstanding he will battle to remain the world light weight champion.  young Haney have brought the challenge I believe he is prepared for this fight.

It will be hard pressed for Linares to capture the belt again, there are a lot of young blood in that division. I agree that this might be the biggest test for Haney at this point of his career, as Jorge Linares has the experience. But his age could be the biggest factor here. He has to fight a young Haney who I think is about in the peak while he is on the downside.

Odds will be good for Linares here, but it's hard to see how he can win against a young Haney who wants to prove that he should be considered among the best in the pretty much stack up lighweight division.

[Hypnosis00]

This is definitely a great fight, Linares is not an easy opponent, though already at 35 years old but he is a durable man. I'm guessing here, Linares is the underdog? So I guess I'll be betting on him and see if he can upset Haney which is the undefeated and a very young fighter.

Another exciting bout .. But I will pass for a while unless i will Win in Cotto vs. Marquez fight because my Budget for gambling is for Manny Pacquiao's Fight soon.

But Yeah it is Haney to be my favorite in this one.

[Ziskinberg]

This is definitely a great fight, Linares is not an easy opponent, though already at 35 years old but he is a durable man. I'm guessing here, Linares is the underdog?

Linaris with 47 wins and 5 loses, while Devin Haney ahs 25 wins with 0 loses. I can say this is a big test of Devin Haney, last fight wasn't that impressive as he was not able to KO Gamboa, but let's see if that will happen here.

So I guess I'll be betting on him and see if he can upset Haney which is the undefeated and a very young fighter.

For sure the odds are very much attractive because Linares is up against an undefeted fighter.

If not for that liver shot that put him down for good, Linares could have won that fight against Lomachenco. The guy still pack a punch and still got some speed too and against Haney i think Jorge is a very live underdog.

Yup, Haney was not so impressive against Gamboa while Linares almost beat the great Loma back then so betting for Linares is the way to go here.

I guess I'll follow here, the odds is +400 ( if its true) for Linaris to win, so that's x3 winning of our bet. Linares is still at 35 years old, old but not old enough and his experience is almost twice as Haney, so experience wise, he has the edge. I'm sure Linares aint no left over.

HANEY
1/7
(-714)

LINARES
4/1
(+400)

That's too low. Are they underestimating Linares or this fight will just be a stepping stone for Haney?
The Undefeated young gun versus the veteran. I doubt they will let them stain his record.

Last fight for Haney was with Gamboa 11/2020 while Linares was with Morales 2/2020.
Young guy is still hot from his win and his body is still in shape.
Linares would need to train hard to make the chances higher so that he won't eat what he says in social media.  Let's see.

Probably this is the case why the odds are that low for Linares, and maybe his team thinks the same that it will be just another match for Haney to win because Linares is no longer his best version. The match with Gamboa though, I wasn't impressed with Haney. His excuse is that he comes from a long layoff and he has some ring rust.

For Linares to win, the same strategy against Loma, beat him to the punch and go toe to toe and hope that he can land flash on Haney's chin and see if he can take it.

Same thought.

The one who will win this fight is the one who knows how to take the advantage. For example for Linares, he has the upper hand when it comes to experience and techniques, however his power would not be that much compare to Devin Haney because he's much younger but still lacks in experience when it comes to boxing. They have their own advantages, but I think the favor would go to Devin Haney since based on his record, he has no losses compare to linares that has two. 

[yazher]

The best test so far for the champ and this will be his greatest wall. guys, if he can beat Linares easily then, he can beat anyone after that because we can assure that he is quietly improving after winning some fight. The date of the fight will be enough for him to train some deadly secret weapon to surprise his opponent in the ring. That's what champion does, they create some new moves to counter their opponents deadly technique.

You are right here mate, this is the biggest test for Haney's career and i could say that if ever he could beat Linares he could beat anyone in this division. For me, the real threat for him is still Loma and Lopez win against the latter is a fluke (just me).

About that secret weapon, you can't change fighter's style overnight so i don't think that this would happen. Adjustment on what to do during the fight if ever needed is what the trainers would yell at their fighter during the fight.
