Comments Thread For: Prograis: I'm Stopping Haney; If I Don't, I'mma Hurt Him for 12 Rounds

Haney lost and was given an all old North American gift

No he didn't. Loma did what Loma does: Dominate when he fights, and losing the rounds he decides he needs an in fight vacation. He took the first half of the Lopez fight off, he took about three rounds off against Haney. You do not want to say Haney won that fight, that is fine. It is probably more accurate to say Lomachenko lost the freaking thing anyways.

I was at Prograis vs Taylor & if that Rougarou shows up then Devin won't be able to hug him.

As a huge Prograis fan, this is fair. Haney is smoother and a more varied in ring technician. Prograis has more power, is more aggressive, and is no slouch in the ring. People on these sites just are all about what they saw last fight. Even the greats of yesteryear had bad outings against inferior fighters they took lightly or just were unmotivated for. Prograis may not be in his prime, but he is still close enough that Haney can lose to him outright.

Haney is a fighter. This is top shelf from him, moving up and taking a respected champ like Prograis straight out. I do NOT think Haney can KO him, but he has more than enough tools to dominate this fight if Prograis cannot establish something early on to make Haney worry. Prograis will be at his best for this fight, and all that needs to be seen is if his best is enough to beat a prime Haney.

The bolded: Absolutely. Prograis has been very consistent his career, Even Lewis had some outings where he wasn't at his best, it happens.
Yes! haney seems to be interested in fighting and not ducking and this is a toug fight to take. Thing is Haney is still learning and Prograis has to be careful not to let Devin have too much rope. The punching arsenal is there, I would hope Prograis trains to apply pressure. A puncher is a puncher, but sometimes you have to have the capacity to chase a guy down, and Haney has that jab. But with that said, I think prograis has the tools if he sets them up properly, Haney really never fought a puncher like Prograis.

Loma win, go watch the fight and ask Haney why he was crying to Daddy.
