Who do you think wins, Prograis vs Haney?

Turned out that semi-retired Linares did far better than Prograis, who is still in his prime, presumably. Garica needs to show me more. Haney has been evolving while Garcia has been devolving. Garica looked his best during the Campbell fight, and he looked his worst against Duarte, despite winning. There were moments. in the Tank fight were he looked formidable. Against Duarte, his left hook saved him. Had he not had a one-hitter quitter left hook, he probably would have lost against Duarte.

Like I said previously as a response: ​Prograis was never known to have a one-punch KO power. Ryan Garcia has that kind of power. You might want to look into that and might be the fight you're looking for. And there's a chance Garcia vs Haney could happen next, if there's nothing else out there for Haney. Not exactly predicting a Ryan victory, but he might do better than Regis. Yeah. Regis is basically a Kambosos but with power (and a southpaw). I almost bet on the under for this fight, but changed my mind because I had no confidence that Regis could land a killer blow on Haney (at least a damaging one that would let him finish him) and that Haney could stop Regis. It looked as if Haney had a better chance of stopping Regis than the other way around. Either way, I'm glad I didn't bet on that fight.

If Regis lands on Devin, he will hurt Devin. I have NO doubt about that. The problem is that he'll have to land cleanly. However, unlike Linares who caught Devin when he wasn't expecting it, Regis can actually hit you when you expect it and send you to the canvass. He really sets his feet and gets his body into it. The problem there is that those are easier to slip or roll under if it's unanticipated. Linares is so fast, and his technique is so good, that he can get you when you don't expect it. Like I said previously as a response: You can only catch Haney with combos, which Linares was good at. It's the 3rd to 4th punch that would do it.​Prograis was never known to have a one-punch KO power. Ryan Garcia has that kind of power.

Haney will run and hug for a boring decision, fans will boo

What are the weigh-in results? I would guess Haney struggled to make even 140. He'll be fighting at 154 in 2 years or less. He'll be moving up to welter within next year.

Funny that a career 140 guy ended up being underdog to a 135 guy. What the heck happened? I predict a loss for the idiots who pay to see that fight.

Well, we know that you'll have Prograis winning with A.I. fan-fiction the very next day. :lol1: If he wins, he wins. Don’t try to sweep robberies under the rug. You know that Prograis requires a KO to win.

If Prograis wins, it will have to be by vicious knockout because otherwise they'll rob Regis, even if he deserves to win. And you know it! Well, we know that you'll have Prograis winning with A.I. fan-fiction the very next day. :lol1:

Loma moving up to 140 fighting Davie would have more chances to get a dec win than Progress in this fight

As much as I like Prograis skills pay the bills. If I was a betting man I would go with Haney.

- - Heinie gonna git man splottoed by Regis unless it's Larry Cole as ref pulling Regis off him the whole fight. Then Heinie fat daddy gonna have to mansplain, how that happen? I truly hope so... It is possible. But splottoed, or not... if Haney can keep on his feet, the boxing establishment likes the cool management of Bill Haney, they made Devin's body blows against LOma appear as though they were deafening, when in fact? Most judges would have not even scored a lot of them for a fighter not the A side.

Some things about this fight make it interesting. Does Devin have his man strength yet? If so, he will be stronger and the weight jump will not be a problem at all. What are the merits of each respective division? 140 is a place where you first start to see really big punchers more typically. First of all, the weight itself, guys who can crack at lower weights can come up, and guys who have legit middle weight aspirations can fight down. I think Regis having a normal outing last time soured a lot of people. I also think Loma, whether he "won" a decision, by boxing scoring, or not, had Devin frustrated and even beat towards the end of the fight. I do think Haney is the A side and that the judges will be looking to give it to him if the fight goes the distance. Regis is not an overly technical fighter. If he goes into this fight ready to test Haney's chin, and can deal with Haney's jab, and possible jump in power, he could show that Haney is vulnerable to a real deal, 140 pound banger. The more I think about it, the more it appears this will not happen. Two reasons: Fighters today want to save face and not risk it all. Regis is not getting a decision, and probably is not prepared to take the risks he needs to, to make sure he drops Devin. The other reason is, Haney has a good enough jab to keep guys off. I want Regis to win my heart sings for a legit Nah Orleans, home grown (Creole) to lift the city like Ward lifted Oakland. I also think Devin has gotten all the breaks... But realistically, if Devin can avoid being KO'ed he will get the decision. Therefore unless Regis can overcome this he will not get past Haney. I hope I am wrong and that Regis shows what a legit 140 power hitter can do when focused...

Young guys moving up are still getting their man strength. haney will get bigger and stronger so this jump is actually what one would expect. it would be different if Haney were older, and were trying to move up through training. - - Heinie gonna git man splottoed by Regis unless it's Larry Cole as ref pulling Regis off him the whole fight.

The feet will be the story of the fight & even when Regis gets to his preferred range as there will be times I don't really see him having any real sustained success. He doesn't have the footspeed or utilise angles like Diaz and Loma or have the handspeed and punch variety. In short he is absolutely no way near as skilled. They had success in different ways but ultimately because they was unpredictable and would throw combinations, doubling, tripling up. They'd miss 2-3 shots but get in with the fourth. Regis is just basic. Needs you to stand in front of him and just throws right, left, right left, no changing the trajectory or mixing it up. I never predict a Haney stoppage win he is a decision fighter, Haney points safest bet in boxing. But for this one I think the move up will serve him real well and he'll hit much harder and should be a lot fresher late on along with his speed which Regis isn't used too seeing. It maybe silly in hindsight but going in I think he can make a statement and potentially stop Regis. Slow feet, his defense is head movement with a low guard and he makes a lot of mistakes reaching and telegraphing shots. His offense is very predictable. Very precise analysis! Makes me want to look at some more tape of Regis.

Boring hugging fest, Haney by decision.

So it's been established from the get go that Regis Prograis is the underdog in this fight. No one seems to be disputing it. The question now becomes, to me, at least, whether he will last the distance or get KO'd, which is a real possibility.

Haney by decision. That's the most sensible outcome.

I hope Prograis by a KO. I don`t wanna watch Haney`s boring ass.
