Haney is like a parody of the Floyd/Ward/Klit era jab/grab style because he fights older/smaller/worse fighters. Dude is cooked in the pocket and has to clinch and have a clinch friendly ref. He couldn't even get his jab going so he settled for copying Teo's bodyshots. Got rocked up a few times. 140 is going to be rough for him.
Clinching helped him avoid close,heated exchanges in this fight forsure. At least he was smart enough to know he couldn't go toe to toe and throw with Loma

Clinching is a fine strategy, if the ref is in your favor, but it's not a sporting strategy. Floyd fought up in weight, Ward would bully people in them, Klit had some stinky fights but KOs to go with it. Haney is cutting weight to fight small/old guys, can't bust a grape, and his offense is barely existent. Worst of all worlds.

Absolutely nothing special about his speed or power,I'll say that forsure. His ring IQ is up there though,that can only go so far when your getting ready to go elite tho

I wouldn't even mind if he was exciting to watch, but he's not. Hope he has to fight Barboza Jr at 140. I'll respect him for that. I expect he'll fight Pedraza or some bullshit though.

Anybody with hand speed,decent footwork and enough power to humble and maybe even KO,is giving him problems,especially in a higher weight class. I think in a pure point fight,he beats alot of top guys imo
Last night was one of my first times understanding why people have a hard time loving boxing

Tony weeks calling that rolly fight like that a few weeks ago honestly may have been worse lol

I didn’t get to see that
they gave Haney round 10
396-1 amateur record but 17-3 pro record
wtf is Vasiliys problem?
1st lose came against a guy who came into the fight 10 pounds overweight and low blowed him the entire night 2nd lose was legitimate but last night was bullshit
Steveson would beat up and stop Haney, tbh, Stevenson is too fast, young and athletic and versatile
Much better numbers than I thought. Wow. Haney might as well capitalize on the villain saga now and fight Tank. People will pay big money to see him knocked tf out

Those are huge numbers for sure,proves Haney has drawing power(Lomachenko has drawing power too,lets not forget that). Bro officially a PPV star,Top Rank/Arum will probably make a bid to keep him now.
Tank needs to be the end goal/money fight. If he fights Tank now,he's getting KTFO.
