Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney (9th of December)

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Weird. We have more votes for the defending champion Regis Prograis rather than the undisputed champion Devin Haney. Do you guys want to see Devin Haney lose or do you just believe that Regis lands his powerful punches?

I am bored with Haney's fighting style and he is supposed to lose against Loma. Now he is avoiding a Loma rematch, avoided his mandatory on Shakur, and avoided the real lineal champ at 140, Teofimo Lopez.

Regis had a bad night in his last fight and if he performs the same way again, Haney will have an easy time outboxing him. Still, I believe Regis knows he needs to perform better this time. I won't be surprised if he hits Haney with his signature awkward but powerful punches, this is the only way to beat Haney. If he cannot hurt Haney then he will lose his belt.

Hahaha. I remember that you call Haney an email champion, don't know the reason why but seems you don't like him or his fighting style.

Of the three (Prograis, Loma and Shakur), it is Prograis for me is the weakest and beatable, maybe that's the reason why they took this fight. This could be a clinching feast for Haney to avoid those awkward punches that Prograis may threw. If Regis could not knockout Haney, he will lose in points as Haney may outpoints him through his jabs. Jab, jab and clinch, Haney's game plan lol.

I've read an article that Shakur and Loma are mandated by the WBC to fight for the championship belt so this means that Haney is being strip of this version of this belt.

I'm not really sure if Prograis is the easiest, but if we look at the 140 lbs landscape, Regis could be one of the toughest champion that we have right now. He had a good fight against Josh Taylor and really put Taylor at bay but he lost a close decision, 114-114, 115-113, and 117-112.

So he is underrated at 140 lbs, maybe Haney Sr thinks it's going to be an easy fight for his son. But this is different league, against Kambosos and Loma he has the height and reach advantage but not in 140 lbs as there are good and bigger puncher than him obviously at this weight class.

Easiest in the sense that Prograis is the slowest among the three though he hit hard but I think Haney is quicker than Prograis so hitting him is not an easy thing to do plus the fact that whenever Prograis has the advantage, Haney will clinch. The only thing that could slow down Haney if he will be hit early on but i doubt it and yeah this is an interesting fight for Haney as he have to fight the best hereon.

There is a lot of drama in Haney's situation though as most fans and even the stats are saying Vassily Lomachenko beats him and deserves an immediate rematch. There's also the WBC's mandatory for him to face 2 division champion, Shakur Stevenson. And lastly, Top Rank's offer for Haney to face the biggest name at the junior welterweight, the lineal and WBO champion Teofimo Lopez. More updates soon if Haney will be stripped of his belts at 135 as he wanted to keep them while testing the waters at super lightweight.

So many opportunities for Haney after that controversial win against Lomachenko but all the opportunities that are coming his way, cannot convert to multi-million dollar mega fights like the recent Garcia- Davis and the Crawford - Spence, his coming fight against Regis Prograis if it pulls through can be considered as one of those fights unless he gets Ryan Garcia or Tank Davis, he needs legacy fight that will establish himself as a superstar and he should go for much bigger than Prograis, Shakur is also a good legacy that will attract big money.

If he wants legacy he'd already book Loma to prove himself and fans will assume he is ducking Loma. Shakur also is not an easy fight for him. But because he chose to move to SLW to fight the bogeyman in the division, that makes him tougher negating that ducking Loma fanbois claim but this is if he succeeds. Prograis is tough.  

If indeed Prograis will have a hard time fighting an opponent with long reach just as Hearn said, Devin might just be lucky.

It's somehow debatable that is why we are seeing a mixed votes between the two champions, but for me, I chose Regis Prograis to win by a way of KO/TKO. I know that Haney does have an impressive style specially in his defense and counter punches but he doesn't have that much power to KO an opponent and certainly I don't believe that he can do it against Regis which is also an experienced boxer and had the same bouts as him. Now if Regis can utilize his power and speed, I think he got more chances in this fight compared to the upcoming challenger, Devin Haney.

Yes, he has developed a defensive style to hide his weakness, and that is he doesn't have a punching power. And he had it like that for sure that Loma wasn't able to hit him flush that's why the fight was so close. Against George Kambosos style too, he plays defense and Kambosos wasn't able to close that gap and he had a hard time finding his range against a long Haney.

But with Regis, they are almost all even, and then Prograis has the power advantage. Maybe Haney defense will be in display again, but what if there Regis touch that glass chin of Haney? So we wanted to see that and how Haney will respond and also how Regis will follow up on that one.

[inthelongrun]

...
Hahaha. I remember that you call Haney an email champion, don't know the reason why but seems you don't like him or his fighting style.

I called Haney an email champion before because he won his WBC belt thru email and not inside the ring. He was emailed by the WBC that he was elevated from interim champion to full WBC champion. This happened when the corrupt WBC tried to convince the boxing community that its new title called WBC Franchise is a legit title awarded to fighters that accomplished a lot. Then middleweight lineal and unified champion Canelo Alvarez was its first holder and then later it was also awarded to then lineal and unified champion Vasily Lomachenko. So Loma was elevated as a Franchise champion and then Haney was emailed as its new WBC regular champion.

It's a blessing in disguise though, the boxing community didn't consider the Franchise champion as the real WBC belt. So loud-mouthed Teofimo Lopez who was supposed to become undisputed after defeating Loma was never recognized by the boxing community since it considered Haney as the WBC's real champion. It's the same reason why Kambosos after beating Lopez unified his belts against Haney to determine the real undisputed champion.

It was the same situation when another corrupt sanctioning body the WBA created the WBA Super belt for WBA regular champions who successfully unified their belts with other champions (WBC/IBF/WBO). It still existed today but the boxing community only considers a WBA regular holder as the real champion if there is no WBA Super holder in the same division. That is why Tank Davis is a fake WBA champion because Haney is the WBA Super champion.   

[Kelvinid]

However, we know how defensive Haney is, and if Prograis try to be the aggressor, I think it will be like Haney against Kambosos. Wherein Haney will have the upper hand as he will do the counter all night long. The only chance that Prograis is to hit Haney flush to win by ko as Haney doesn't have a good chin to begin with.

Good defense and timing in counterpunching are the best defense against a strong puncher Haney is so good at frustrating his opponent and accumulating points, that Prograis should find a way to get his punches in.

Haney is a boring fighter like Mayweather but his style gets the nod of the judges, judges score on hits and defense and that's what happens in his encounter against Kambosos, he cannot avoid Haney's counterpunching, I don't think Prograis is the fighter that will handle Haney's first loss.
 

That's just how he fights, and we have to accept it because it makes him effective in boxing. He may be considered boring, no question about that, but as long as he keeps winning, he will undoubtedly have more fights to come and more money to earn. Let's hope that he will have a good match with Regis Prograis, now that he is the challenger. If he wants to win convincingly, he needs to be more convincing in the ring, as we don't want to see a controversial fight like his previous one where some people thought he lost to Lomachenko.

First of all, I think a fighter who punches with his 100% is not a good fighter. There is a big difference between a good puncher and a hard/strong puncher. The expertise of a fighter lies not in putting 100% power behind his punches because that is going to throw him off balance and also might potentially screw up his defensive position.

I don’t have any problem with a fighter being aggressive or defensive. We have seen aggressive fighter like Mike Tyson being one of the best at that time and we have also seen Floyd Mayweather who is definitely quite defensive to be one of the best in this era as well.

I think the fighters also have to remember that the Challenger must do well to claim the win. If there is a chance of the fight being almost even equal, the Challenger is not going to get the win. Because in most cases, the Challenger does not get the benefit of the doubt.

It's the strategy that matters, and we can conclude that Devin Haney knows the right strategy as he keeps winning. However, we cannot deny that fans would want to be entertained. They want to see the boxer they are leaning towards winning, and at the same time, they also would like to be entertained. When two boxers who have a reputation for being boring fighters in the ring face each other, that is not going to entertain the fans.

However, for Haney, I like his decision to move up as it's necessary for a considered great boxer to push his limits.

Haney the email champion was the good name for him because of the WBC and your attack was real.Even my opinion was same on Haney for his action on the WBC Franchise.This controversy was accepted by most of the people in the boxing community.Now the boxing community was not agree with the WBC Franchise as the real championship and for the top order game.The most important reason behind this was the match fixing and the game which is almost all the time fixing by the WBC.Mostly on the game like Semi and Final matches.

But I think in this instance, the situation is a bit different because Haney will be moving into a hostile division. A weight class where he is not that accustomed yet whereas his opponent, Regis, who happens to be a champion as well is kind of accustomed to the weight already for he has been fighting in this division for I think almost a decade now.

Anyway, it's pretty much safe to say that we can see Haney's defensive capabilities again as that will always gives him an advantage towards anybody he faced and will face. Also, he got the reach advantage as well that will surely give some difficulties to Regis.

[inthelongrun]

Wow! Some big drama show here. So from being friendly and hospitable to something different. The Haney's are working underground and are trying to change the signed schedule into something earlier and that's what made the champion Regis Prograis mad. I cannot believe Devin at this young age is already trying to lowball his opponent. And I am glad that Regis is standing his ground and is sharing this with the public.

So Devin Haney after becoming undisputed all of a sudden is trying to exploit and avoid riskier opponents as much as possible. First, he does not want to give Lomachenko his well-deserved rematch. Then he offered a laughable 25% PPV share on Shakur, his WBC mandatory. He said he wants to move up in weight at the same time hostage all the belts at 135. He wants to move up in weight but he doesn't want to fight the new lineal champion of 140, Teofimo Lopez. He wanted the WBC champion Regis Prograis after its very poor performance in the last fight. And Devin is not yet satisfied so he wanted Regis to not take a full rest from his previous 12-round fight and forced him to a schedule with less training time. I hope this kid gets clipped.

He wants the easy route to win belts while making money at the same time, his promoters did not believe that he can take the like Shakur, Teofimo, and Gervonta he wants to protect is 0 and his title but eventually, he will have to face this guy because these guys will outshine him and the only way to establish his legacy is fighting these guys, so far among these big names he is the most underrated, Garcia I thought has the ball to take on Davis even if there's a dehydration clause.

[yazher]

Prograis is a natural 140. He's one of the baddest in SLW. This would be a big challenge for Devin considering his fight against Loma who goes up to 135, practically a smaller fighter but almost defeated Devin. It was a robbery and the majority agreed with this claim.

But I think Devin made a good decision to move up since he is at risk in both weight classes. It's Either Shakur or Prograis so he chose Prograis.

This won't be an easy fight for Devin Haney, but indeed he can find a way to give Prograis a hard time boxing against him, and there will be small chances of knocking him out. the best prediction would be reaching the official's scorecard, but I would like to see them not reaching that far because it would be boring since both of these guys are more than capable of knocking each other in the early rounds. Who knows, but in my prediction, it will surely be a knockout for Haney because of his vast experience compared to Prograis.

Another classic maneuver from Mayweather Jr.'s handbook, just like what Errol Spence Jr. did some time ago when he ducked Crawford for months and waited for quite some time before he decided to face him for the undisputed fight. Many excuses at that time too just like how Al Haymon and Spence convinced the sanctioning bodies to contest his mandatory title defense fight against Keith Thurman at 154 lbs. It was really unreasonable because how can he defend his titles at 154 if he doesn't have any belts in that weight class in the first place.

Now, I can see Devin Haney doing the very same thing or maybe much worse and just like what happened to Spence, his time will also come.

Ok if I got it right, they already agreed and sign the contract and so they have the date already settled, then suddenly, they wanted to change the fight date much earlier?

Yeah, it's weird though, question is why they want the date to be change in the first place? They can't reason out that the venue is not ready or something. If they have sign a contract then for sure they already have a place for that. Not sure what to take from this drama, but definitely, this is a bitch-ass move by the Haney to derail Regis plan.

It should be easy because Regis Prograis can always weave what they have discussed because of this nonsense move made by Haney and his camp, not sure what they thought by the way that led them to this but they just made themselves a huge embarrassment for trying to pull this trick. Also, if there was already a signed contract then this should be a done deal already, nothing will be changed unless if there were some injuries or emergencies.

Yes quite of an upset especially for audiences. Before a contract is made, negotiations with the venue and other things should come first, and last thing to come is the contract for players' managemebt as their approval to the arranged match. Confused if it is just a drama or just unprofessionalism to the one who is making the changes. Contract is a formal agreement and sudden changes shouldn't be easily entertained.

As other users have mentioned, this instance is also evident with some of the big fights before and many people believed that there's an intention of such action. Fighters have a planned routine and if it would be altered or adjusted then result would be different from what was assumed, which makes this a big deal.

Weird. We have more votes for the defending champion Regis Prograis rather than the undisputed champion Devin Haney. Do you guys want to see Devin Haney lose or do you just believe that Regis lands his powerful punches?

I am bored with Haney's fighting style and he is supposed to lose against Loma. Now he is avoiding a Loma rematch, avoided his mandatory on Shakur, and avoided the real lineal champ at 140, Teofimo Lopez.

Regis had a bad night in his last fight and if he performs the same way again, Haney will have an easy time outboxing him. Still, I believe Regis knows he needs to perform better this time. I won't be surprised if he hits Haney with his signature awkward but powerful punches, this is the only way to beat Haney. If he cannot hurt Haney then he will lose his belt.

It's somehow debatable that is why we are seeing a mixed votes between the two champions, but for me, I chose Regis Prograis to win by a way of KO/TKO. I know that Haney does have an impressive style specially in his defense and counter punches but he doesn't have that much power to KO an opponent and certainly I don't believe that he can do it against Regis which is also an experienced boxer and had the same bouts as him. Now if Regis can utilize his power and speed, I think he got more chances in this fight compared to the upcoming challenger, Devin Haney.

Devin Haney was almost buckled by the smaller Lomachenco in the later round of their fight so there is no doubt that there is a possibility that Devin Haney will kiss the canvas in his fight against Prograis since Prograis is a heavier boxer, a heavier hitter than Loma and bigger than Loma.  I do not think that Haney can evade all the strong punches of Prograis so I also think that Prograis  has the possibility to win the fight via KO.

Regis had a bad night in his last fight and if he performs the same way again, Haney will have an easy time outboxing him. Still, I believe Regis knows he needs to perform better this time. I won't be surprised if he hits Haney with his signature awkward but powerful punches, this is the only way to beat Haney. If he cannot hurt Haney then he will lose his belt.

It's somehow debatable that is why we are seeing a mixed votes between the two champions, but for me, I chose Regis Prograis to win by a way of KO/TKO. I know that Haney does have an impressive style specially in his defense and counter punches but he doesn't have that much power to KO an opponent and certainly I don't believe that he can do it against Regis which is also an experienced boxer and had the same bouts as him. Now if Regis can utilize his power and speed, I think he got more chances in this fight compared to the upcoming challenger, Devin Haney.

Devin Haney was almost buckled by the smaller Lomachenco in the later round of their fight so there is no doubt that there is a possibility that Devin Haney will kiss the canvas in his fight against Prograis since Prograis is a heavier boxer, a heavier hitter than Loma and bigger than Loma.  I do not think that Haney can evade all the strong punches of Prograis so I also think that Prograis  has the possibility to win the fight via KO.

That's one weakness of Devin Haney, he has weak chin, there are other fighters as well that buckled him down, before Haney. It's that it was not a clear punch that hit him. But if a bigger guy like a natural welterweight in Prograis the Haney might not take it lightly and go down and this could be the selling point on how Prograis can score a upset here.

For sure Haney will be the favorite but facing hard hitters in the 140 lbs division, Devin will be made aware that this weight class is different for him and he might not survived at 140 lbs with all his big punchers and natural guys that literally packs a power.

That makes sense which is why Devin Haney was mastering the art of defense and counterpunching because he doesn't have any skills or options that can take down any given foe that he will face against. His only weapon is his IQ and defensive tactics that can evade strong punches but that too has its own limit and going against the natural guys at 140 pounds might be too much for him to handle and he will surely have some difficulties in that weight class.

I would be glad if he will be listed as the favorite in their upcoming fight because that will be a huge advantage for me to bet towards Regis Prograis, may it ML or via KO.
