Devin Haney Vs. Jack Catterall: Does Turki Need This Struggle?


Devin Haney and Jack Catterall each took to social media to ask His Excellency Turki Alalshikh to assist put a struggle collectively between the 2 defensive artists.

It’s unclear why the 2 would wish Turki to finance a struggle as a result of neither of them is a star, and that might require him to intervene to place this degree of a struggle collectively. Catterall’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, may simply provide you with the dough to make a Haney-Catterall struggle, offered that Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) doesn’t value himself out.

In case you’re Turki, do you wish to pay Haney and Catterall hundreds of thousands for a struggle that guarantees to be a boring, defensive affair that includes a number of operating and holding for 12 rounds? I don’t suppose so.

If Turki did wish to put a struggle along with one in every of them, it could extra possible contain them dealing with fighters that might curiosity the boxing public. Haney-Catterall is a conflict that might be DOA [dead on arrival] by way of attracting fan attraction.

Catterall Ought to Struggle

– William Zepeda
– Ryan Garcia
– Subriel Matias

These fighters could be bother for Catterall, who has no energy and incapable of standing his floor and combating. He has no religion in his chin.

Superb Oppnents For Haney

– Jaron Ennis
– Bakhram Murtazaliev
– Israil Madrimov

Contemplating that Haney rehydrates to the mid-160s, I included some junior middleweights as a result of that’s the division he must be combating in if the same-day weigh-ins had been introduced again to the game.

Followers on social media are roasting Haney & Catterall right this moment, saying they’re “begging” Turki and viewing it as “shameless.” It wouldn’t be so unhealthy if Haney and Catterall (30-1, 13 KOs) entertained fighters with thrilling combating types that Turki could be thinking about putting on one in every of his Riyadh Season playing cards.

Sadly, they’re boring to look at. They win their fights by operating, jabbing, and holding. Catterall is arguably the much less entertaining of the 2, however Haney comes shut. The distinction is that Haney a minimum of tries to struggle at instances, which is why he usually will get harm in his fights. Catterall takes no possibilities in his fights and is all the time on the run.

Till now, Haney has solely been concerned in a single large struggle throughout his profession, and that was towards Ryan Garcia final April, who wiped the deck with him in Brooklyn, New York. It’s believed Ryan introduced in a lot of the PPV buys due to his 12 million Instagram followers.

Catterall, AKA The British Shakur, is coming off a career-best win over former WBA and WBC gentle welterweight champion Regis Prograis final weekend on the Co-op Reside Enviornment in Manchester, England.

The Eddie Hearn-promoted Catterall knocked 35-year-old Prograis down twice within the ninth after which ran for the ultimate three rounds to protect the victory, successful a boring 12-round  unanimous choice.
