Lots of support for Prograis on this site. I know for the obvious hate of Haney, so that’s not surprising. But I’m surprised so many people think Haney will lose.

i DESPISE Haney’s fighting style. And I root against him every time he’s in the ring now days. But he’s a difficult out. (I didn’t say “tough out”. I said difficult out. He’s not tough at all. He just fights like a *****. And it’s hard to get him to open up to be hit. All he wants to do is hug, defend, and land a jab)

Devin Haney weighed more than Regis Prograis when they stepped on the California State Athletic Commission's scale Friday. Haney came in at exactly 140 pounds for his debut at the junior welterweight limit during their official weigh-in Friday

Listen genius, the fight is at 140 so this is no big deal headline.

I don't care for Haney's style. I think in the 1970s or 80s, they would take points away for holding. If the ref calls it legal, Haney probably wins this. I'd rather see Prograis win, but he didn't look good last time out.

to hell with how much Hiney weighs the price of admission for this fight on Dumbzone is carzy. I did not know they are making it a PPV why am i surprised ? BC DZ is not on the radar anymore for their fights ............the joke keeps told..............

There is no fight on the undercard that I want to see lol.

If Haney is as elusive as his master then he'll win easily !

I want Rougarou to commit to the body in the early rounds. Body shots can be money in the bank come the last 4 rounds &, lets be honest, this one is almost certain to go to the scorecards.

Let your son eat you selfish lime light seeker. He’s killing himself, probably kills himself to make 47. What father on this earth would subject his child to that.

It will be interesting whether the strength and power difference at 140 pounds 'Will have any noticeable effect upon Haney. You never know until he gets whacked'.

But? I have always thought that in comparison to Teofimo lopez, Haney? Has more of the a natural physique and dimensions to move up to 140 pounds 'And still perform without really having to adapt is style'.

If Haney was to move up to 147 pound division, that would be the weight were 'His current style may not be as effective'. It is not clear that he has the same kind of adaptation game that Floyd Mayweather Junior or Manny Pacquiao had.

Note: I think Lopez in comparison is near enough at his maximum effectiveness within the 140 division etc.

Haney got rocked by elder Linarez. Prograis is going to touch him sooner or later. Haney has nothing to keep Prograis off, he can only make him miss.
