Devin Haney’s surprising defeat to Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz Jr. has raised concerns among analysts. Former world champions Paulie Malignaggi and Sergio Mora discussed Haney’s performance on ProBox TV’s ‘Deep Waters,’ highlighting his departure from his usual style and subsequent decline. Despite an effective jab early on, Haney struggled against Diaz’s power punches, leading to a seventh-round knockdown and loss of focus. Malignaggi criticized Haney’s decision to square up and chase the puncher, mistakes that proved costly against Diaz’s strength. The analysts emphasized the need for Haney to utilize his jab and boxing skills rather than relying on power punches.
