  • Haney thinking: What if we made a mistake choosing this man?
    Prograis thinking about: First punch is gonna be in his nose, I can’t miss

  • Haney’s wide nostrils provide him with a breathing mechanism that translates into more stamina and a cooing mechanism in warm weather; a gift from the Creator, not a negative things as some would like to allude to. Real talk! Looking forward to a good fight. Tough to go against Haney after Regis’s struggles in his last fight, but styles make fights.

  • Haney will finally feel the power ,
    Once he feel the power and his agressiveness will dissapear

    • You were wrong about Duarte and now you will be wrong about this fight. Its makes more than power. Haney doesn’t need “aggressiveness.” What Haney fights have you been watching? He’s not very aggressive. He will use Prograis “aggressiveness” against him.

      • When Haney get connected by prograis he will look diferent version. Of Haney you already know

  • Seems like a potentially excellent fight. Hopefully it delivers.,, and Haney isn’t able to stink out the house

    As he wins.a decision

  • Fight night is almost here. No more talk. I believe Haney will pull it off but if he gets caught flush early in the rounds it might be a rough night.

  • Burucho – That’s bush league talking about the man’s appearance.

    I think it will be a decent fight. Haney has been overrated as a fighter, as really he’s just been bigger than his opponents thus far.

    This is an opportunity to prove that he is a good fighter although he will still be heavier than prograis at fight time.

    Prograis has power but he is a bit wild. He can definitely hurt haney, but haney has the reach advantage and will look to jab and hold, and hold some more.

    It will be up to prograis to slip the jab to get inside to get his shots off. Once inside he will have to wrestle through the holding and continue to work in close as he cannot win on the outside. If he keeps his hands busy then he might be able to get the ref to deduct a point or two for excessive holding .

    However, Haney will most likely earn the decision win behind the jab and grab.

    There’s always a small chance that prograis tags him but he doesn’t seem to set up his power shots very well.

    In the end I see a close decision win for Haney, and probably lots of booing from the crowd due to his holding.

    • Come on? Burucho made a joke, big deal quit getting your panties in a bunch. Like or not Haney does have a big nose probably from boxing since he was 7. Again, hoping Prograis catches him , but instinct tells me that Haney keeps the same punch output two jabs, a right then a long hug. He does enough to get the win because Prograis is just thinking of landing that one shot.

      • Haney does not have a big nose, he has a wide flat nose with little cartilage, which is a huge advantage in boxing. Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini had a big nose & a lot of cartilage, which just shows how tough he was getting that Roman schnoz smashed endlessly all fight.

        When they do a tale-of-the-tape, I would include a category for nose cartilage.

      • I would agree with Burusho, but then I would get cancelled by the alphabet woke mafia. I want no part of those woke nuts.

      • If bivol barely best canelo at 175 at 168 canelo would kill him

        Bivol is too big for that weight division

        It’s same bad to go up or down when your body it’s not ready for certain weight

        It’s like usyk go down to 175 to fight bivol

        • “barely best Canelo” lol. It was nearly a shutout victory. Canelo tends to get visibly frustrated when he’s getting dominated. Remember when he lifted Bivol in the fight. He did this to “prime Canelo”. There have been 6’2 competitors at 175 like Antonio Tarver so he’s just right for the division.

          • Yea bivol barely beat canelo it was a round diference to they draw

            If canelo had won the Roundd 12 it was going to be a draw

            But in your eyes bivol won all the 12 Rounds lol

          • The scorecards were a joke and only reflect the ridiculousness of favoritism towards la peliroja. The same as “barely losing” to Floyd and winning against GGG and Lara right?

        • Smoking the whacky tabacky again Carlos? You definitely work for the WBC in some capacity.

  • Haney wins by close unanimous decision in a somewhat boring fight. Prograis no longer in his prime while Haney is good enough to not get nailed by more than one power shot at a time. Prograis hand picked but if he can somehow roll back the clock a few years and land some meaningful power punches he has a chance. But Haney is favored for a reason. I’m pulling for Prograis though.

  • Haney UD. Haney’s movement and speed will keep Prograis working most of the night to catch him. Prograis fights much better when people stand in front of him. In addition, Prograis tends to get wide with his shots when his instincts take over his main focal points. I feel Haney will settle in and take advantage of these flaws. Haney is not perfect by no means, but the variation in styles favor Haney in my opinion.

      • Im not curious of how many people will attend to this fight

        I’m curious of how many people gona buy this fight

  • Chucky, shut up. One, this ain’t the canelo story. Two, bivol beats canelo at 168 and 175. Three, they should ban you for talking like that on here. Four, you must be a fool.

  • If Haney stopped picking his nose incessantly his nostrils may not be so wide!!!!!

  • Why do they let you post junk like that? They even took off my post telling you to stop.
