    Masón vs Noakes was an awesome competitive close fight where both of their stocks went up. Easily the best fight of the card.

    Bam vs Martinez was a good fight for the first 2 rounds until Bam completely took charge and dismantled Martinez with ease. A great showing from Bam and lots of heart from Martinez.

    Haney vs Norman Jr I thought would have been much more competitive and was convinced Norman had the power to actually pull off a surprise knockdown or even knockout but props to Haney for not only beating Norman but also neutralizing him. Norman’s skills showed that he looks good against face first brawlers like Santillan and Sasaki but he’s clueless against a boxer like Haney. Another dull fight from Haney but he proved his doubters wrong yet again.

    Benavidez vs Yarde I expected a one sided beating from Benavidez and that’s exactly what happened. One sided yet also had some good exchanges as well. Benavidez still showing some good speed, workrate and decent power at 175. A fight with Zurdo should be entertaining if they fight next year.

    Of all the guys on the card, Haney is the one most likely on gear. He was raging in those early rounds. I didn't like how the ref let Haney grab everytime Norman got close. It's just not fucking fair.

    He was a nice guy, bit gruff. Clearly had some issues though.

    Brutal beating by the way.

    Yarde is just a local toughie. He's not good, simple as.

    Haney landed double digit punches in 1 round, the second. 70 of 271 total landed punches for the entire fight:Jest:

    Am I missing something here? He sure is getting alot of credit from pundits. Maybe I ne3d to rewatch that boring shit, I didnt see a great champ. I guess if you rate norman really highly, haney shut him down for the most part, particularly in the first half of the fight. But he hardly did shit himself to shine

    Haney is a hypejob. He's crappy. A bum like Ryan with a telegraphed left hook was able to dominate him with one punch all night.
