    Been saying since I first saw him, if he would just learn to sit down on a punch, he has skills. I don't get guys with a high skill level who refuse to throw hard punches. I get being cautious, but it is hard to get excited at clinching and winning a UD. It is confusing. Haney is obviously a strong guy.
    I think the weight cutting might have been a factor and we may see more pop in his shots at the higher weight classes. It's no coincidence he relinquished his 135 belts mid-training camp, I suspect he's realised how much better he feels. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does.

      he was figthing kamobosos. thats not a big risk. everyone who knew boxing knew this guy was not truly an elite fighter. its not like he went over the ukraine to fight loma or something like that

          If Haney KO's Prograis I will, literally, **** my pants. And I'll give Haney props.

            Riiight. Biggest fight to make, but be prepared to be slapped with punishing weight stipulations engineered by Leonard Ellerbe. You're even bigger than Ryan Garcia.

              Especially, if it's Canelo Alvarez vs David Benavidez then I agree.

                Yeah, I'm skipping that one. I did re-up DAZN for another month for Bam v Sunny and the Saudi card, but no way am I paying for Haney v Prograis.

                      You're a persistently negative poster who lives only to discredit boxers. I've never seen any sign you get any enjoyment from following boxing.
