5 days ago | boxing247.com | Tim Compton

Richardson Hitchins says he favors Devin Haney to defeat Teofimo Lopez if their fight comes off. Not surprisingly, Hitchins believes that Haney’s boxing skills would be too much for WBO light welterweight champion Lopez (22-1, 13 KOs) to hande. Richardson and Haney are birds of a feather with their defensive styles, which involve a lot of movement, potshots, and clinching. It’s uncertain if that fight will happen now that Teofimo has burned his bridges with Turki Alalshikh.

1 week ago | boxing247.com | Tim Compton

Stephen Edwards says it’s “not fair” to judge Devin Haney based on his poor performance against Jose Ramirez on May 2nd. He states that Devin fought a guy who was on PEDs, took a lot of punishment, and was coming off a long layoff. He feels that Haney (32-0, 15 KOs) should be given a free pass for his non-effort against Ramirez, and that we should give him time to recover from what he went through.
