Always love a good use of the Philly shell – and a blinding hand speed to boot. Devin reminds me of Hearns with his flicking jabs, left body hooks, and chopping rights.
Devin Haney is really good. Fights intelligently and has been well schooled. Fast and balanced with good power and patience. I predict a big future for him.
The jabbing and combinations displayed by Devin were excellent. He was technically superior and overwhelmed his rival who was not able to find the way to fight a boxer also faster than him.
