Devin Haney vs Joseph Diaz: Haney to beat Diaz in at least ten rounds

In the early morning of December 5 in Las Vegas, there will be a WBC light heavyweight (61.23 kg) title fight between American boxers Devin Haney and Joseph Diaz.

After my fiasco with the last Lopez vs Kambosos fight, it’s about time I made these: whether one or the other will win, on points or by knockout. And then, when the fight is over, I find out that I was wrong again! Because for once, there was a draw!

But no, there won’t be a draw here. I think the winner will be Haney, who took some holiday with Diaz right in the ring after a tough fight with Jorge Linares.

I don’t pretend to tell the mind-blowing truth that Haney is a very good boxer. He has beautiful, long, and speedy hands and Diaz will be a good target for them. Also, Haney, in my opinion, likes to fight. I do. Without any unnecessary brutality. Just like that: Arms hanging, arms hanging, and then boom!

I can’t imagine what Diaz will do against that, other than face defense. Well, he’ll try to attack, but he’s not a particularly punchy fighter. Haney’s got a good sense of distance, but he misses some unnecessary punches in his bent for the sake of it. It’s no big deal with Diaz, though. Well, almost.

Will Haney have the strength to knock out Diaz? It’s hard to say. Diaz has rarely (unless you count one of his earlier fights) gone down. In any case, the fight will last at least nine to ten rounds. He’s got the stamina for that. And who knows? He might break. But it’s not guaranteed.

Anyway, if you like a good spectacle, this is the place. Half an hour (net time) is guaranteed.

Analysts see Devin Haney as the big favourite in this fight but don’t believe the fight will end before the tenth round.
