before this fight i was never impressed by haney….but after beating linares i have to change my idea….this division with teofimo lopez, lomachenko, gervonta davis and now haney i think it s the most interesting in this moment!
wow I wouldn’t mind watching a rematch. A little bit fresher and hungrier Linares could have put Haney out at the end of the fight. IMHO and regarding the level of technical performance by both fighters, this is the best fight I watched this year so far
