Weird. We have more votes for the defending champion Regis Prograis rather than the undisputed champion Devin Haney. Do you guys want to see Devin Haney lose or do you just believe that Regis lands his powerful punches?

I am bored with Haney's fighting style and he is supposed to lose against Loma. Now he is avoiding a Loma rematch, avoided his mandatory on Shakur, and avoided the real lineal champ at 140, Teofimo Lopez.

Regis had a bad night in his last fight and if he performs the same way again, Haney will have an easy time outboxing him. Still, I believe Regis knows he needs to perform better this time. I won't be surprised if he hits Haney with his signature awkward but powerful punches, this is the only way to beat Haney. If he cannot hurt Haney then he will lose his belt.

It's somehow debatable that is why we are seeing a mixed votes between the two champions, but for me, I chose Regis Prograis to win by a way of KO/TKO. I know that Haney does have an impressive style specially in his defense and counter punches but he doesn't have that much power to KO an opponent and certainly I don't believe that he can do it against Regis which is also an experienced boxer and had the same bouts as him. Now if Regis can utilize his power and speed, I think he got more chances in this fight compared to the upcoming challenger, Devin Haney.

Yes, he has developed a defensive style to hide his weakness, and that is he doesn't have a punching power. And he had it like that for sure that Loma wasn't able to hit him flush that's why the fight was so close. Against George Kambosos style too, he plays defense and Kambosos wasn't able to close that gap and he had a hard time finding his range against a long Haney.

But with Regis, they are almost all even, and then Prograis has the power advantage. Maybe Haney defense will be in display again, but what if there Regis touch that glass chin of Haney? So we wanted to see that and how Haney will respond and also how Regis will follow up on that one.

There is a lot of drama in Haney's situation though as most fans and even the stats are saying Vassily Lomachenko beats him and deserves an immediate rematch. There's also the WBC's mandatory for him to face 2 division champion, Shakur Stevenson. And lastly, Top Rank's offer for Haney to face the biggest name at the junior welterweight, the lineal and WBO champion Teofimo Lopez. More updates soon if Haney will be stripped of his belts at 135 as he wanted to keep them while testing the waters at super lightweight.

So many opportunities for Haney after that controversial win against Lomachenko but all the opportunities that are coming his way, cannot convert to multi-million dollar mega fights like the recent Garcia- Davis and the Crawford - Spence, his coming fight against Regis Prograis if it pulls through can be considered as one of those fights unless he gets Ryan Garcia or Tank Davis, he needs legacy fight that will establish himself as a superstar and he should go for much bigger than Prograis, Shakur is also a good legacy that will attract big money.

If he wants legacy he'd already book Loma to prove himself and fans will assume he is ducking Loma. Shakur also is not an easy fight for him. But because he chose to move to SLW to fight the bogeyman in the division, that makes him tougher negating that ducking Loma fanbois claim but this is if he succeeds. Prograis is tough.

If indeed Prograis will have a hard time fighting an opponent with long reach just as Hearn said, Devin might just be lucky.

Hahaha. I remember that you call Haney an email champion, don't know the reason why but seems you don't like him or his fighting style.

Of the three (Prograis, Loma and Shakur), it is Prograis for me is the weakest and beatable, maybe that's the reason why they took this fight. This could be a clinching feast for Haney to avoid those awkward punches that Prograis may threw. If Regis could not knockout Haney, he will lose in points as Haney may outpoints him through his jabs. Jab, jab and clinch, Haney's game plan lol.

I've read an article that Shakur and Loma are mandated by the WBC to fight for the championship belt so this means that Haney is being strip of this version of this belt.

I'm not really sure if Prograis is the easiest, but if we look at the 140 lbs landscape, Regis could be one of the toughest champion that we have right now. He had a good fight against Josh Taylor and really put Taylor at bay but he lost a close decision, 114-114, 115-113, and 117-112.

So he is underrated at 140 lbs, maybe Haney Sr thinks it's going to be an easy fight for his son. But this is different league, against Kambosos and Loma he has the height and reach advantage but not in 140 lbs as there are good and bigger puncher than him obviously at this weight class.

Easiest in the sense that Prograis is the slowest among the three though he hit hard but I think Haney is quicker than Prograis so hitting him is not an easy thing to do plus the fact that whenever Prograis has the advantage, Haney will clinch. The only thing that could slow down Haney if he will be hit early on but i doubt it and yeah this is an interesting fight for Haney as he have to fight the best hereon.

I guess fans wanted to see Haney fight, he had established himself as sort of Floyd Mayweather now. He is love but at the same time, many fans wanted him to lose and getting knockout, and as you have said, his fighting style is bored and that fans view that Loma won against him.

But he is the bigger puncher of the two. So if by chance one bombs land on Haney's chin, then maybe he will have a good chance to beat and let Haney taste the canvass for good. And Haney is technical, if he fought a awkward style like Regis has, it won't be that effective.

However, we know how defensive Haney is, and if Prograis try to be the aggressor, I think it will be like Haney against Kambosos. Wherein Haney will have the upper hand as he will do the counter all night long. The only chance that Prograis is to hit Haney flush to win by ko as Haney doesn't have a good chin to begin with.

Good defense and timing in counterpunching are the best defense against a strong puncher Haney is so good at frustrating his opponent and accumulating points, that Prograis should find a way to get his punches in.

Haney is a boring fighter like Mayweather but his style gets the nod of the judges, judges score on hits and defense and that's what happens in his encounter against Kambosos, he cannot avoid Haney's counterpunching, I don't think Prograis is the fighter that will handle Haney's first loss.

That's just how he fights, and we have to accept it because it makes him effective in boxing. He may be considered boring, no question about that, but as long as he keeps winning, he will undoubtedly have more fights to come and more money to earn. Let's hope that he will have a good match with Regis Prograis, now that he is the challenger. If he wants to win convincingly, he needs to be more convincing in the ring, as we don't want to see a controversial fight like his previous one where some people thought he lost to Lomachenko.

Agreed. I don't think that in the first place Haney is interested to make the fans entertained because if he will do that, that might be his first loss in his professional career because he is not that kind of boxer that can entertain the audience by doing something out of his character. He is only there to win and nothing else, after that, fame and money will follow because that is the most important factors in this day of age. Boxers will try to destroy him because of his position now but that is not an easy job to do.

First of all, I think a fighter who punches with his 100% is not a good fighter. There is a big difference between a good puncher and a hard/strong puncher. The expertise of a fighter lies not in putting 100% power behind his punches because that is going to throw him off balance and also might potentially screw up his defensive position.

I don’t have any problem with a fighter being aggressive or defensive. We have seen aggressive fighter like Mike Tyson being one of the best at that time and we have also seen Floyd Mayweather who is definitely quite defensive to be one of the best in this era as well.

I think the fighters also have to remember that the Challenger must do well to claim the win. If there is a chance of the fight being almost even equal, the Challenger is not going to get the win. Because in most cases, the Challenger does not get the benefit of the doubt.

My assessment, if the fist between Devin Haney vs. Regis Prograis is really happening next October, in my opinion Devin has made a good decision for choosing to challenge Regis I'm sure many Devin and Regis fans agree they showed who is the strongest of them both in the ring.

I often see Devin Haney in the ring, so he is called the king of lightweight boxing, almost all the belts he has, in terms of age, maybe they are both very different, 24 years and 34 years, but that was not an obstacle for both of them to show their best in the ring, overall their records were not much different from 30 and 29, by winning 15 and 24 knockouts. despite the different ages.

I personally fist between Devin vs. Regis and I predict this boxing will be won by Devin, I'm sure he will win the WBC title this time. no real reason for me, just looking at the situation and luck.

Unless Haney is heading to PBC wherein the easiest champion to beat in Rollie Romero (WBA) resides, Prograis(WBC) is the next easiest based on his previous poor performance. Matchroom and DAZN though are keen on getting Haney back into their side while I highly doubt PBC will allow someone to beat their champion who's been loyal to them for many years.

Money-wise and legacy-wise though, Top Rank's offer for Haney to face the lineal champion Teofimo Lopez (The Ring & WBO) is the best choice. Either Haney is mad at Bob Arum or he just wants to get rid of the biggest names of 135 and 140 like Lomachenko, Shakur, Teofimo, etc. who are all under Top Rank.

Somehow, I want Regis Prograis to land his heavy hands-on Haney and score an upset. This is better for boxing rather than young Haney who already ducked a Loma rematch, a mandatory from Shakur and Top Rank's best offer for him to face the lineal 140 champion Teofimo Lopez.

The present champion, Regis Prograis, has an impressive record as well. Although he is not an undefeated boxer, his KO rate is high—24 out of 29 fights, which is equivalent to an 82.7% KO rate. I hope he will be as quick as Haney so he will be able to hit him and use that high KO rate to his advantage.

You can't beat what you can't hit, and Haney is so good at hitting his opponent without getting hit, after Mayweather he is the best defensive boxer now, and I believe he can beat Prograis even if Prograis has a high knock-out ratio, Haney has beaten a lot of great punchers by his technical skills I don't know who will be the favorite by experts here but this early he is my favorite to win by decision.

Exactly. This fight reminds me of Shakur Stevenson and Oscar Valdez, a counterpuncher versus a power puncher but those heavy hands could damage nothing if it hits nothing. Devin Haney is in his prime now and as a defensive boxer, his team is trying to pair him to big name boxers but beatable and Regis Prograis is one of those, no offense meant to his fans but that is what i see in this matchup.

But Valdez is the smaller guy when he fought Shakur. In this case, it was Haney who is going up in rank and to be honest, I think Haney's body is more of a 140 lbs - even welterweight of 147 lbs.

However, we know how defensive Haney is, and if Prograis try to be the aggressor, I think it will be like Haney against Kambosos. Wherein Haney will have the upper hand as he will do the counter all night long. The only chance that Prograis is to hit Haney flush to win by ko as Haney doesn't have a good chin to begin with.

Honestly, I don't think he is even close to the skills of Mayweather. Maybe he is also quick, but not as smart as Mayweather. Eventually, he will face a boxer who could exploit his weaknesses, resulting in his first loss. Regis Prograis could be that opponent if he manages to land hits on Haney or if Haney decides to go toe to toe. That might be the only time we see Haney in trouble.

Regis Prograis is a champion who isn't as popular as Haney, so most likely Haney will secure another win here. However, as a fan, it would be nice to see an entertaining fight because that's the only way we, as fans, will be fulfilled.

But I think Regis is underrated, so I will give him some chance to pull a upset against Haney. Although Haney is in his prime, and so is Regis, and he has a tough lost against Taylor years ago.

But I think Regis will give a interesting and very competitive fight for Haney here. I think this could go on the judges score card and could be a very close decision, could be a split decision for Haney, but I wouldn't be surprised if Prograis do enough to pull an upset.

The present champion, Regis Prograis, has an impressive record as well. Although he is not an undefeated boxer, his KO rate is high—24 out of 29 fights, which is equivalent to an 82.7% KO rate. I hope he will be as quick as Haney so he will be able to hit him and use that high KO rate to his advantage.

You can't beat what you can't hit, and Haney is so good at hitting his opponent without getting hit, after Mayweather he is the best defensive boxer now, and I believe he can beat Prograis even if Prograis has a high knock-out ratio, Haney has beaten a lot of great punchers by his technical skills I don't know who will be the favorite by experts here but this early he is my favorite to win by decision.

Exactly. This fight reminds me of Shakur Stevenson and Oscar Valdez, a counterpuncher versus a power puncher but those heavy hands could damage nothing if it hits nothing. Devin Haney is in his prime now and as a defensive boxer, his team is trying to pair him to big name boxers but beatable and Regis Prograis is one of those, no offense meant to his fans but that is what i see in this matchup.

Too soon for that mate and we should be conscious about his present situation that he is not the one who is holding the division that he is looking forward to, Regis Prograis, shouldn't even be underestimated just because of the fact that Devin can hit a boxer with his excellent technicalities and being the best defensive boxer after Mayweather. Moreover, we should not forget the fact too where Lomachenko revealed some of his weaknesses on their recent fight and some are even going to argue that Loma won that fight.
