[Boxing]: Haney vs Linares - May 29

[AmoreJaz]

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.

the odds at stake is at 1.13 vs. 5.80, in favour of haney. so more then likely most bookies will favour haney here. this will be a good fight to watch. not betting yet, but watching how odds will change in a week, if theres any. lets see...
if both parties will have rigid training, i guess this fight will be a close one.

I guess I will go for Haney here and it will I guess Linares belongs to the underdog odds.
Both fighters are aggressive and have a good previous fought. You will never tell if who's gonna win but if you will look at the record, Haney has a great advantage, with zero losses, 15 by knockout, and 10 by decision is pretty good stats if you will be compared to Linares.

Let's see and wait because even me, I have doubted where I'm going to place may bet and its looks like they are both good fighter.

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.

Linares' had a great fight against Lomachenko but that was 3 years ago. Since then he has lost by knockout. He is a very shopworn fighter and a perfect opponent for Haney to look good against.

I checked the odds at proboxingodds.com and all the bookmakers have Haney as a clear favorite. I'm expecting him to win an easy unanimous decision but considering Linares' weak chin I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a knockout.

[DoublerHunter]

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.

^ Age gap in boxing almost does not matter. I had the same thoughts when Manny Pacquaio fought against Thurman, the age gap was too big but look what happened. We also have to consider experience besides capability and possible strength advantages. Skill is better than strength they said. Hence, The Golden Boy still has it. Nevertheless, for this match of Haney and Linares, I would place my side with the young one. I have seen him fight and he is impressive. He just had to be careful and never ever be comfortable fighting against the Golden Boy cause he might get things he never experienced yet.

That's true but only for exceptional fighter like Manny, he is a legendary while Linares achievement is not even close as to Manny's achievement. Also, Linares is not old though, he is only 35 years old and I think that is still considered young in the sports of boxing, in the end, it still depend on how he will perform in this fight.

They are incomparable as of the moment because Manny is far too older that Linares and their achievements are also too far.

But When they are at the same age and level? their ability and capacity is almost the same as i Have watched Manny Pacquiao Grow Old.

I guess it is but there are too many factors to consider.
I choose Haney here, good luck to him.

The great fighter has all it takes to take him down. Sportsbooks are somehow accurate making the odds.

However, I can see how passionate this young boy is. He might have a chance to take Linares Down but it is very least as Linares has a strong defense. I will be rooting with Linares on this match and the experience perspective he is in advantage. If you are a true fan, you will see how Linares being trained to prepare for this match.

Here are the odds:



Might be good to wait for more betting odds for Haney, I initially thought that the odds will be very close. Anyhow, maybe as the fight gets closer, it will definitely change and maybe Linares can close the gap.

[Kemarit]

^^ But it will be good for Linares fans, to bet on him this early if they think that he can upset the champion because the odds are very good. And as the fight schedule gets closer, it might close to 4.xx.

I'm liking the odds of Linares now, might be a good and live underdog. But yes, if there could be more options for Haney, (as I think he could win this one), to even get to at least 1.89 odds that will be good choice. So let's wait.

This is not only great for them but for the sports, I did a quick reading but I only found the words "SOLD OUT", they didn't tell how much it is equivalent to amount, I think it's way lower compared to the actual capacity of the venue since protocol of social distancing is still in place, am i right?

Yup, it's 50 percent capacity for now and a rough estimate, it could be below 5k tickets which were being sold out and probably they will open more seats as the interest in this fight is high for now.



^^ is the layout of the stadium, there we can make estimates on how many people would be watching.

That's already a good number I believe, plus they also have a PPV, right?

I think their target is to really maximize their income in PPV as there's no limit on that unlike the crowd of this fight.
Good thing, maybe after this fight, if Haney will win, he could match up with Ryan Garcia if he would also win his upcoming fight.

the odds at stake is 1.09 - 7.0. this is not a very good odd to place bet for haney. seems that bookies are really favouring Haney here to win. will think if I will put on Haney or Linares. if by chance, Linares will win this match, thats a very nice profit but does he really have the chance to upset Haney?
and since there is actual audience in the arena, i guess this one is more lively to watch.

Well, if you like to bet with good odds, there's a handicap option. However, I think this is good for Linares, it should not be an easy fight, Linares have a shot here and that 7.00 could be a gift for Linares backers. I know Haney is the champ here, but he is facing a more experience fighter.

Good to hear that, no doubt that boxing fans are still going to buy this ticket with or without the pandemic. Both are great fighters and everyone is looking for Linares to derail the fight between Garcia and Haney so let's see.

But as far as the odds are, punters are very sure that Linares doesn't have a chance, but as others have been saying, Linares can be a real live underdog here.

[Ararbermas]

Haney is very aggressive boxer than linares in my opinion.. He's like a young May weather with a super explosive punch . So for sure this will become a very intense fight , Although there's a big difference when it comes their age but perhaps on this match its about experience and strategy wherein how they can handle every round just to survive.  I will expect a knockdown on this match.

That is a big gap to fill in but considering there is still almost a month of preparation, maybe we can see these odds getting closer and closer, I would probably put money on both sides since the odds are attractive.

[DoublerHunter]

^ Enough with the trash talks, let’s see who will win on this match. My bet will be placed in Linares the Golden Boy. Let us say that he is older than Haney, but it does not mean that Haney really is at his advantage. Definitely experienced-wise, The Golden Boy Linares is way too far from The Dream. The odds will surely favor Linares on this match, but I hope he won’t miss a shot cause in the case, Hanes will do his best to take him down. What is scary about Haney is that I find him hungry and that hunger would make him win the match, possibly at least 20%.

Good luck mate, you'll be getting x5 of your bet if you bet on Linares to win. Well, experience wise, Linares really has the edge, but that's only his edge here and there's a reason why the odds are high for him because his opponent Haney is the heavy favorites, if Linares will win, it would be an upset.
