I like Regis while I think Haney is a punk. Haney is the favourite but if Regis can get to him – it is a big if – this could get very interesting.
Haney will have his skates on for 12rds, hopefully Regis can connect at some stage though for a chin check
Should be a good one. PPV? I’ll catch the replay. Interesting how its okay to say the n-word in music, interviews, movies, etc., but there are some words you cannot even say or allude too, if someone finds offensive; automatic cancellation of your life, liberty, and property…smdh. Come on fellas.
I can only hope that Prograis beats this fool up. Also, funny how the word cracker gets thrown around, yet it’s celebrated or encouraged. Racist words are racist words no matter the color of your skin. Let’s go Regis!
If Prograis couldn’t beat Josh Taylor how is he going to beat Haney? Prograis looked ordinary against Taylor. I’d like to
see Regis win, but unless he gets lucky with one of those loopy left hands I think
Haney is too big and too skilled for him.
Did you see Curmel Moton won again by
1st round stoppage? Body shot. The records of his first 2 opponents were a
combined 7-0. Speaks volumes.
Yeah but being ordinary got him a split decision and he only lost by a point on the other card. Not bad.
O still go with prograis by one point
Glad to see prograis finally in with a top guy. He has been avoided for years. & Good for haney for making this fight. It’s an interesting matchup.
Hope prograis isn’t on the downslide , and still at his best
Isn’t this the same dude Lopez was avoiding? Like Haney or hate him I give him props. Who at 135 – 140 is taking on big names like him? Granted would have loved to see him and Stevenson/ Tank. I think he pulls off a UD. Haney can’t get cracked in the head with this guy like he did against Lomachenko or its going to be a short night.
Who told you Lopez is avoiding prograis???
Lopez Just beat Josh Taylor who beat prograis …you think Lopez is affraid of prograis????
Lopez also beat lomachenko
So stop talking zhit
Lopez has been avoiding Prograis. That is the fight all wanted at 140. Lopez said he was going after champion including Prograis and Lopez avoided him like the plague. Your talks of Lomachenko are irrelevant as this is the 140lbs division.
As the Sandor Martin fight demonstrated (a fight some felt Lopez lost) styles make fights. Your Lomachenko talks are irrelevant as that was in the 135lb division and years removed. Lopez beating Taylor who beat Prograis doesn’t guarantee victory for Lopez. Again styles make fights which has been shown over and over again and is common knowledge that you evidently lack.
Good day sir or ma’am.
Prograis…” you got 15 knockouts, name them guy’s you knocked out” Haney…Ha, ha, ha. Prograis wins this one10-9.
The sad part about Prograis vs. Haney is Matias will roar, growl, spit venom and hunt the winner because Matias is a pure boxing predator.
I hope Prograis wins because there is a greater chance (if any) of a future Prograis/Matias scrap. I can’t imagine Haney in a future fight against Matias.
Heck, for now, I can’t imagine anybody fighting Matias. Matias is no joke. 140 is no joke.
E, Somebody will get in with him and remember he does have a loss which he states was because of “vices.” He has bricks for hands. Should be interesting.
Prograis already tweeted or “X”ted he would fight Matias in 2024. I’m not sure Haney would ever do this, so yes I hope Prograis wins this one. However, I get the feeling Matias would give him a shot even if Prograis looses, thats just how crazy I think this guy is.
Matias will knock out both of them on the same night
Naaaaa Matias is a hard hitter but he is not in their level
One thing is hit hard
Another thing is technique
And another thing is level
Carlos, everyone has a plan till they get hit in the face, a memorable quote. I think it applies here with this guy. Do either have a chin to withstand his power? Can they break him down and limit his power? Let’s see what happens between Haney and Prograis first.
Keep the big fights coming. On another note about Devin Haney. The fact that he associates himself with Victor Conte tells one all they need to know about him. I thought he would be better than that.
Jay, No fan of Haney and it’s well documented, but I have mixed feelings of conte. You could say once a cheat always a cheat or you can say maybe he is legit now. A lot of professional fighters and athletes use him. You would think that testing would be really scrutinized if someone was using him. Or? Maybe he has found the right combo to beat the test? I guess if I was on the other side, it would definitely cross my mind.
With Conte once a hustler always a hustler. What I don’t respect about him is, once he realized his cheating gig was up he decided to play the good guy and dry snitch on everyone else. Let’s say he is still cheating, he already proved that he wouldn’t hesitate to rat on all of the athletes as he did on national tv years ago. The athletes suffered great losses while, Conte had 40 of the 42 offenses removed and bounced back like nothing happened. I always thought Devin and Bill were smarter than that but evidently, they’re not. Why risk being associated with a guy like that in the event he is still cheating?
Why risk being associated with a guy who would rat on you in the event that he is still cheating?
True. He did drop a bunch of dimes. Yet, many athletes are right back working with him including Crawford. I tend to agree with you that it worked for him last time and to deflect from his criminal activity, he gave up the names that they were really after.
Conte served hisntime and has even offered to improve the testing organizations because they are so far behind when it comes to popping athletes. Of course his offers were rejected across the board. Yes, he was the king of the clear and the rest of the hard synthetics, but again, he has figured a way to get maximum response from the body through regular accessable means and within the law.
Look at how he was able to resurrect Donairs career.
No matter who Haney pairs up with, testing is not on the horizon. Be it Conte, Memo Heredia or whomever.
Haney shouldnt even be here Loma beat his ass!!
