Devon Haney vs Jorge Linares Highlights recap from Las Vegas. Haney enters the matchup with Jorge Linares as a massive favorite to win. Haney is the WBC lightweight champion who has been criticized for level of opposition and tonight was a clear step up in competition. Devon Haney is a boxing superstar who is in his prime. Is this a real test for Haney or is Linares over the hill. Lets get into the highlights from tonights matchup between Devon Haney and Jorge Linares for the WBC Lightweight championship. Those who have asked for WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney to step up his level of competition will get their wish on Saturday when he faces veteran three-division champion Jorge Linares. The fight takes place at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
Haney is one of the crop of fresh young stars in the lightweight division, though he has been battling being labeled an "email champ" by others in the sport, including Teofimo Lopez, the man who holds every other major title in the division. This stems from Haney's never having truly "won" the title, instead being elevated from interim champion to "world" champion when then-titleholder Vasiliy Lomachenko was elevated to the sanctioning body's "franchise champion." That the interim title didn't even need to exist at the time as Lomachenko was an active champion only further muddied the WBC waters.
Even taking all that into consideration, Haney is clearly a player at the top end of the division and could be a real force in the sport in the coming years.
Haney has not, however, fought elite competition yet, leading to a second layer of criticism for the 22-year-old. The fight with Linares is a step toward addressing the critics.
