My only other concern, outside of tightening his defense, for Haney is the weight cut...Haney is a disciplined fighter...doesn't give me concern he wont make the weight for any fight....but he's been cutting weight so consistently in his career, I hope its not starting to deteriorate him.
But he's at 140 now? He seems pretty comfortable there, compared to 135, which was bad.
I dunno tbh, I think he's ok in this respect, he eats good between fights, he understands nutrition and bone density in this respect.
If I'm Haney team, I push for a catchweight rematch at 143. That way they line up the same, but Haney maintains the belt again as a 140 WBC champ. He can win a rematch most definitely, he had some solid rounds between 2-7 where he controlled the fight. Even out the weigh in scenario and percentages suggest he can edge a decision win.
