5. Devin Haney vs Zaur Abdullaev

Kicking off the list is Haney’s victory over Russian Zaur Abdullaev in 2019. Haney faced the then-undefeated Abdullaev for the WBC interim belt. And ‘The Dream’ put on a show. A clinical performance from the first bell meant that Haney was able to systematically break down his opponent. Such was the damage that Abdullaev retired after the fourth round. Haney became the interim champion without even getting hit.

4. Devin Haney vs Jorge Linares

Lomachenko’s former foe Jorge Linares also faced Devin Haney. And the Venezuelan enjoyed a lot of success against the American. Many suggested Linares was Haney’s toughest test, and it definitely showed. The experienced fighter started really well. However, Haney’s comeback in the second half of the fight makes this number four on our list. The American made impressive adjustments, did not let it faze him, and took home a unanimous decision win.

3. Devin Haney vs Alfredo Santiago

It’s not often that a fighter wins every single round on every judge’s scorecard against an undefeated fighter in a world title bout. However, in 2019, Haney did exactly that against Alfredo Santiago. ‘The Dream’ dominated the fight, knocking Santiago down in round five and winning an incredible, unanimous decision.

2. Devin Haney vs George Kambosos Jr. 2

Second, on our list is the rematch between Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. In the first fight, Devin Haney stuck to his plans and beat Kambosos Jr. in his own backyard and took home all the belts. However, in the rematch, Kambosos Jr. posed a tougher test. This time, the Australian was a little more cautious, and many expected him to do better. However, Haney showed his class and dominated the Australian, winning almost every single round to retain the belts.

1. Devin Haney vs Antonio Moran

At number one is Haney’s incredible win over Antonio Moran in 2019. Haney’s biggest criticism is often his lack of power. However, in the bout against Moran, Haney showed he has devastating knockout power. Moran came into the bout with more experience than Haney. However, ‘The Dream’ showed his class by picking apart his opponent with an incredible counter-attacking strategy. And in the seventh round, Haney showed his power with a perfect overhand right that knocked Moran out cold.
