Devin Haney Defeats Jorge Linares and showed Toughness

Devin Haney was able to defeat Jorge Linares but Jorge caught Haney with a
beautiful shot in the 10th that had him on wobbly legs going back to his
corner at the bell. Haney boxed and held the last two rounds and walked
away with the win.

“It was a good shot, but I wasn’t hurt,” Haney said. “Sometimes when you
get hit by a good shot you have to be smart, continue the game plan. I did
that and got the win.”

“I just kept smart, used the jabs, feinted and landed shots in the 12th
round,” Haney said. “You are going to get hit with big shots in boxing. I
didn’t get dropped, I didn’t get hurt. You see fighters get dropped and get
up from big shots and people praise them, I didn’t get dropped, I stayed on
my feet, kept throwing shots and closed it out.”
