Haney vs. Linares: Nevada Commission Assigns Judges, Ref For Title Fight

LAS VEGAS – Two of the judges who worked the Josh Taylor-Jose Ramirez fight have also been assigned to score the Devin Haney-Jorge Linares lightweight title bout Saturday night.
BoxingScene.com has learned that Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld are among the judges the Nevada State Athletic Commission has approved to work the 12-round bout between Haney (25-0, 15 KOs), the WBC world 135-pound champ, and Linares (47-5, 29 KOs). Nevada’s Moretti and New Jersey’s Weisfeld will be joined at ringside by another veteran judge from Nevada, Patricia Morse Jarman, for a main event DAZN will stream from Mandalay Bay’s Michelob Ultra Arena.
The NSAC also approved Nevada’s Russell Mora as the referee for the Haney-Linares fight.
Moretti and Weisfeld are among the most experienced, consistent judges in American boxing and often are assigned to work high-profile fights. They both scored Scotland’s Taylor a 114-112 winner over California’s Ramirez on Saturday night, as did judge Tim Cheatham.
Taylor’s two knockdowns of Ramirez, one apiece in the sixth and seventh rounds, accounted for the difference on all three scorecards in a main event ESPN televised from The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Had Taylor not dropped Ramirez at least once, their 12-round, 140-pound title unification fight would’ve resulted in a draw because all three judges scored six rounds for each boxer.
Jarman, Moretti and Weisfeld have not worked any of Haney’s first three lightweight world title fights.
Weisfeld had Linares behind, 86-84, when Vasiliy Lomachenko knocked out the Venezuelan veteran with a body shot during the 10th round of their WBA lightweight title fight in May 2018 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Robin Taylor had Linares in front through nine rounds, 86-84, and Julie Lederman scored the action even, 85-85, entering the 10th round.
Moretti hasn’t worked a Linares fight since he scored the three-division champion a 99-90 victor over Rocky Juarez in July 2010. Judges Al Lefkowitz (97-92) and Richard Ocasio (99-90) also credited Linares for a convincing win against Juarez at Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Jarman, meanwhile, scored two fights on the Taylor-Ramirez undercard and has more than 35 years of experience.
She scored Jose Enrique Vivas a 75-74 winner versus Louie Coria in an eight-round junior lightweight fight. Coria recorded two knockdowns during the third round and referee Robert Hoyle deducted a point from Vivas for low blows in the fourth round, but judges Glenn Feldman and Chris Migliore scored the fight for Vivas by the same margin as Jarman, 75-74.
Later Saturday night, Jarman scored Jose Zepeda a 98-92 victor versus Hank Lundy in a 10-round junior welterweight fight. Feldman and Lisa Giampa also scored that fight 98-92 for Zepeda.
In the most recent title fight she scored, Jarman had Emanuel Navarrete ahead of Christopher Diaz, 107-98, entering the 12th round April 24 in Kissimmee, Florida. Judges Chris Flores and Alex Levin had Navarrete in front by the same score through 11 rounds.
Navarrete retained his WBO featherweight title by stopping Diaz in the final round.

My sportsbook has Haney by decision at +210. Might have to throw something on that.
it must suck there is more of an upside betting on a decision in this fight than a KO lol

Linares a class act.
No problem in Haney getting the decision.
People going to criticise him no matter what happens.

Haney by KO seems prime..I always factor in a bunch of things, KO percentage combined with the last time the fighter got a KO. How the fighter looks in camp and who he is facing.
I think he’a actively looking to make a statement as well.

Its thing with all of linares losses being by KO..like if Haney sweet sciencing Linares like he did Gamboa, I can just see the criticism.

Yup. He wants to make a statement and hasn’t had a KO in 2 years. Looking at some of his training clips it looks like he has been working on power too.
People forget his last KO was one of the best overhand right KO’s of all time IMO.
One big KO against Linares and that pillow hands bs should go out of the window.
