Haney vs Diaz Prediction
On paper, this is the toughest test for Haney. A young prime Diaz will come to fight and this is only the second time in his career he’s been installed as the betting underdog.
For Haney, he’s become the solid favorite for every single one of his fights. Online sportsbooks are usually tipping “The Dream” anywhere from -3000 to -800 in his last bout against veteran Jorge Linares.
‘JoJo’ will try to put the pressure on Haney, by aiming to rough him up in the early rounds. This will be a great opportunity for Haney to showcase his skills and patience and out skill ‘JoJo.
While ‘JoJo’ isn’t old, it seems that Haney is on the way in while ‘JoJo’ is on the way out. He’s coming off a controversial win over Javier Fortuna and a debatable draw to Shavkat Rakhimov. The margin for error won’t be as forgiving as Devin Haney.
This fight should play out like a high-level chess match. ‘JoJo’ has got a solid chin and Haney has sublime defense, so I wouldn’t be banking on either boxer to get the finish here.
Devin Haney should have the speed and movement advantage. Racking points on the judge’s scorecards, while taking more risks than usual if needed to win and become the undisputed WBC lightweight champion on December 4.
Betting Pick: Haney by Decision.
