Devin Haney confirmed off his fancy footwork on social media, getting ready for his comeback on March twenty fifth on BLK Prime. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) posted a video of him engaged on a grassy subject, utilizing football-like strikes together with his toes.
The Left Hook Downside
How the foot motion will assist Haney, 26, in a battle is the actual query. His drawback was taking headshots from Ryan Garcia, not utilizing soccer agility drills. Devin wants to have a look at totally different coaching to dam the left hook.
The previous two-division world champion Haney’s rumored opponents for his March twenty fifth are these guys:
- Adrien Broner
- Tevin Farmer
Each are of their mid-30s and haven’t crushed anybody notable in a few years. All of the foot motion that Haney confirmed in his video exercise is a waste for him if he’s going to battle Broner (35-5-1, 24 KOs) or Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KOs).
A younger AB from 2010 to 2012 can be torture for Devin, however he’s not appeared the identical since getting crushed up in a 12-round unanimous determination loss to Marcos Maidana on December 14, 2013. That defeat took one thing out of Broner.
The previous four-division world champion Broner is coming off a 10-round unanimous determination loss to Blair Cobbs final 12 months on June 7. He was dropped by Cobbs within the second spherical and dominated the remainder of the best way.
The previous IBF tremendous featherweight champion Farmer has misplaced his final two fights to William Zepeda and Raymond Muratalla. Provided that Farmer hasn’t crushed a world class fighter since his victory over Guillaume Frenois in 2019, it’s pointless for Haney to make use of him as his tune-up opponent.
What Haney wants is a crash course on the right way to block the left hook as a result of that’s the weapon that Ryan Garcia and Jorge Linares each used to harm him in fights. Preventing Farmer isn’t going to assist Haney, and the identical with Broner. These guys are too previous and previous it to be helpful for Devin.
