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

[aioc]

Devin Haney is sensing already that he will be a champion and beat Prograis in a full 12 rounds that's why they are very confident.

He's always very confident in this fight, and the fact that bookies are favoring him to win makes his confidence boost even more. It's a championship fight, and he'll be the new champion if he wins here, so that's alright for him if he gets confident, as he really needs that in a championship fight.

I just wish that Prograis really has the game plan to not allow Haney to dictate the fight. Because if he does, Haney would effortlessly win in a 12-round battle, and judges would hand their decision favoring Haney for a unanimous decision win.

Kambosos is a better fighter than Prograis and Haney dominated Kambosos twice, Kambosos has a good game plan but Haney is just too good for Kambosos, Haney is a thinking tactician he may not be a hard puncher but he knows how to fight intelligently, I remember Haney asking Hopkins to give him a Garcia fight but The Golden Boy is grooming Garcia and don't want to give Garcia a hard fight, so The Golden Boy promotion has huge respect for Haney's skill the situation is very different now Garcia is struggling to get on top again while Haney is the undisputed champion, because Haney is not afraid to fight anyone.
If you are a good boxer you have to prove by fighting whoever is the best.

Kambosos is a better fighter than Prograis and Haney dominated Kambosos twice,...

I don't know, mate, but I'd like to ask how did you compare these two fighters and see that Kambosos is the better fighter than Prograis? As far as I know, Prograis and Kambosos haven't fought yet, while Kambosos only has two losses, both coming from Haney.

Prograis has only one loss, and that is against Josh Taylor. But that doesn't mean he'll easily lose to Haney just because he isn't undefeated anymore.

For me, it's not even close. Prograis is more proven. He is a 2-time world champion, has successful title defenses and even successfully unified his WBC belt against the WBA champion before losing a very close and highly debatable majority decision against then-IBF champion Josh Taylor in the UK.

Meanwhile, Kambosos was a one-hit wonder. He caught Teofimo's worst night of his life. Before Kambosos' title shot against Teofimo, he only won split decisions over Bey and Selby. Kambosos never successfully defended the belts even once as he was schooled by Haney twice. Old Linares and mediocre Jojo Diaz even performed better than Kambosos against Haney.

Early next year, we're expecting old Loma to travel to Kambosos' backyard in Australia for the vacant IBF belt. That's the last chance for Kambosos to show that he belongs to the top names of the division, otherwise, his victory over Teofimo was just a fluke.

I'm just trying to look at Kambosos and yeah he has a recent win against Maxi Hughes. So he will be line for the vacant belt from Haney. And it will be Kambosos vs the old Loma. But I think Loma can still win in that fight and it will proved that Kambosos win against Teo is just one of those lucky day in boxing.

And I do agree that Prograis has been tested already at 140 lbs, he used to be a champion here and just lost to a controversial decision against Josh Taylor. So we will see if Prograis can retain his belt or not against Haney who is moving up in this division. I think Haney though is just ripe for the 140 lbs class he doesn't have to drain himself that much so both of them are well hydrated and we will see who will last the 12 rounds.

Yeah, I don't think that Kambosos is a better fighter, sure he beat Teo Lopez a highly hype fight that time, but Lopez try to comeback in that fight as well, he just fell short because of the early knockdown that he suffers.

So they are not even comparable in my opinion. And I also see Prograis as a better boxer, although I would understand if others haven't heard of his name before unlike Kambosos, a former sparring partner of Manny Pacquaio and that's where his name pop up. And as others have stated before, Prograis is a ex-champion at 140 lbs and his lost was very close or what we call controversial against Josh Taylor.

You can just bet on casinos as they have a live stream of these fights. You don't need to subscribe to those PPV as long as you have access to the sports betting platform and then you can cast it on your big screen when it's live on your phone. This is what I do when the match starts.

I'm betting for Haney by UD for this fight. Can't say for sure this will happen but most probably since he is new to this division and has inflated himself to get the weight.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^ I don't think that Haney has inflated himself or have a hard time going into 140 lbs. I mean if you look at the 2 for me Haney is the bigger guy. So it means that his body would have adapted as this weight class without any other issue.

But I do agree with you that this might go on the judges scorecard just like his last fight with Loma. So possible that he will win by UD. Until Prograis caught him solid or Regis had a few good rounds and others that can go either way.

As for watching this live, maybe we have to be resourceful again so that we can watch if for free, if you guys know what I mean.

I'm betting for Haney by UD for this fight. Can't say for sure this will happen but most probably since he is new to this division and has inflated himself to get the weight.

Haney by UD currently is 1.39. Maybe for some this is not that attractive, but if you have good money to bet on this odd I think it will surely give you a good returns. And yeah, there's a lot of hype on this fight, Haney's first at 140 lbs and it will be against the champion in Prograis.

And if I'm not mistaken, this could be the first time that Haney will face a solid and powerful puncher. But Haney has the tools, as he is elusive and could be consider one of the best skillful defensive fighter we have right now. Also had a good boxing IQ. And probably that's one reason why odds maker put Prograis a 3:1 underdog in this fight.

[Baofeng]

And here's the official weigh in,

Haney - 140 lbs
Prograis - 139 lbs

So no problem for both making the weight for this fight. Here is the video of the weigh-in,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5i1BQ_uXww

Bill Haney and Evins Tobler at it going at each other again. We already know the odds for this fight, the champion is a huge underdog. And I know a couple who are beating on the underdog because of that huge pay day they will got if Prograis pulls a big upset.

In my case, as I don't pay to watch the fights, I always wait for the fights to finish so I can watch the replay on YouTube, the problem with watching a replay of a fight is that the person immediately sees in the title of the video that fighter x won the fight so when I'm watching the video I always have that impatience of wanting to see in which minute or round the winner was, and this situation is very irritating, sometimes I get very bored of waiting until the minute or round in which the winner was and I fast forward the video until the such a minute that there was a winner and then I rewind the video from the beginning so I can watch it. I keep looking at those guys who are watching where the fight is being held

and I say that those guys are the real lucky ones, watching on TV or the internet doesn't have the same emotion as sitting in a chair and watching the fighters live, without being on TV or the internet, without having some annoying TV commentator, but unfortunately this one It's a privilege that I don't have, I don't even know in what century I would be so lucky as to watch high-level boxing matches live where the fight is taking place. So I'll have to wait for this fight to finish and the replay of the fight will be available for me to watch, I see Devin Haney coming out victorious in this fight

One of the longest face off I've seen  they don't like each other that's a good motivation for boxers when they are going to the ring, hopefully, they will convert it to a lot of action, one problem with Haney is the lack of engagement he prefers the Mayweather method to pile up points if Prograis does not have something to counter that hit and run by Haney it's going to be a long night for him.
For Prograis to win he needs to knock out to win, for Haney to win he will pile up points so lets see who's plan is goign to reign.

I don't expect it to get very many buys. This just doesn't need to be on pay-per-view. The undercard is terrible and the main event fighters aren't some huge stars. Buying the DAZN subscription for a small discount is not worth it either because there's hardly any big fights included with the subscription. For $20 a month, which I'm sure they'll continue to increase, you only get guys like Jake Paul and Ryan Garcia in tuneup fights against outmatched opponents.

That's expected because Haney isn't a PPV attraction, I mean who would watch a boring fighter, right?

So I think the price are too expensive for a non exciting fight, they might have exaggerate things in the weigh in to create some hype but we've seen Haney's fight, most of them aren't entertaining, and if Haney would dictate the pace, we know what to expect already.

I guess I'll just wait for some free streams, if I could not see some streamers doing it, then no choice but to wait for the replay.
Maybe I would not check on the news, or this thread so I could still feel the excitement.

[bots1]

I wish this match happened with both fighters equally young. Right now this fight is tilted towards Haney because he is clearly at the top of his game. He is young. He is very athletic and hungry. Prograis could have much higher chances if he was as young as Haney. Although he is still a great boxer who can give Haney a good match and he has also got those powerful punches, I think Haney can easily manage to maintain a good distance and win by points.

Yes, Haney is really the favorite in this fight, especially since he hasn't been touched by defeat at all since making his debut on the professional stage. In fact, in 30 fights Haney managed to win 15 times by KO or TKO. In addition, Haney has a record of holding five lightweight championship belts.

Yeah, it's all available in here https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/741718

While bookies are made Haney as the favorite, it doesn't guarantee he will win and will become a champion. All his fights probably are won easily by him but pause of a moment and see who own's this division.. It's Prograis, he is the defending champion, so being an underdog is probably a great opportunity to bet on. Actually, there's only two possible outcome we could see, either Haney winning via UD or Prograis will via KO.

This is a new division for Haney, and he is fighting one of the division's champion which is Prograis. And that's why there are so much hype in this fight as Haney is coming up in weight and trying to let's say bully the new division by fighting one of the toughest champion.

And then odd makers putting the champion as the underdog at 3:1. And then Prograis highlighting that he is going to knockout Devin Haney with his power, but Haney will rely on his boxing IQ or his defensive skills. So I believed as what you say, either Haney by decision or Prograis via brutal KO.

I like how Prograis is the last one to back down during the staredown. I can see it in his eyes, he wants to hurt Haney badly. Haney thinks he is scary but as Prograis said before, ain't no pillow puncher scares him. Haney seems a little bigger but I wonder who rehydrates a lot during fight night. Prograis is a regular 140 guy while Haney is still young and growing. The importance of being the heavier and stronger guy at fight night dictates Haney's constant hugs. If Prograis is the stronger guy, he can control the clinches and Haney is in for the fight of his life.

Liam Paro vs Montana Love in the main supporting bout should be a good one. And to those who were disappointed because this is a PPV event, it's because Eddie's favorite fighter is in the undercard.
