Haney-Linares Fight Odds, Prop Bets, Payout

Devin Haney was coming in as a big -900 favorite versus Jorge Linares for Saturday night's 8 pm ET fight.  Linares pays out $550 for every $100 bet with a win.

Haney’s combination of hand speed and timing has enabled him to overwhelm many an opponent, writes Kevin Iole of Yahoo News.  It’s why he has 15 knockouts among his 25 wins, however Linares won’t be overwhelmed by it.

Iole adds:

But Linares, despite being nearly a 10-1 underdog on Saturday, is good enough to win this bout if everything goes right. And he knows it and is confident things will. Promoter Eddie Hearn wanted a tough test for Haney and Linares insists he’s found one.

“It’s a big fight and a new challenge for me,” Linares said. “I have a lot of respect for Devin. He’s a young guy, a world champion, but on Saturday the respect goes, and I am ready for an amazing fight, and I hope he’s ready, too. He knows who he is fighting — a four-time world champion. I have a lot of experience and that’s the most important thing in this fight to win the fight. He doesn’t have that. He has talent, he has youth and hunger, and the belt.

“A fight with me is a different level. I can show so many styles, I’m naturally fast and strong, I don’t have a lot of KOs, but he knows I can punch. I think he will run all night, but I will be waiting for him, I will follow him. If he wants to fight inside, I am ready for him. He’s going to have big problems on Saturday night. He knows I can do everything, and he knows I have the timing to put him down.”

Haney’s WBC lightweight championship will be on the line.
