I think Ryan has still a fight left at least after his fight to Oscar Duarte.
Oscar dela Hoya says that they are looking at AB, Teo and Haney as his next opponent. So let's see how it will turn out, if he wins and then Haney wins against Prograis, it's going to be a money fight between him and Haney.
Just a matter of negotiations and who will be the A-side. However, with him and Oscar's experience negotiating with Davis to make a super fight, I think it will be done as well.
So depends on this fight and then Ryan winning against Duarte. And the good thing is that their fight is just a weeks apart and with that, we will know the results and maybe next year we might see it.

So it's still almost a month before this fight. And just like most fight fans, Eddie Hearn is also anxious about this fight. Only the result of this fight will determine if Haney is really good and is stronger in this division since he was struggling at 135. Or Haney isn't good and was only good at 135 due to his size advantage.
Still, it is Teofimo Lopez as the man to beat in this division after beating Taylor. I am curious about what's next in this division. We want to see unifications or at least the top names fighting each other.

I do agree, I think in this division, since Teo beat the former unified champion in Teo Lopez, he will be the man to beat at 140 lbs. Haney is not yet tested, but Prograis is a champion, he doesn't have that kind of pop in his name.
Ryan Garcia is yet to make his name in this division, he will have a hard time facing a knockout artist in Duarte. If he wins that one, for sure he will call out names here. Might be good to see him and Teo Lopez though, could be the biggest fight at 140 lbs and Ryan making a lot of money again.
But let's wait for the outcome of his fight, and still good to see Prograis a huge underdog.
I am still doubtful about Ryan's eagerness to face a champion. He is earning big money even if he never fought a belt. So he may continue doing it and just hype the public by calling champions and then in reality he will face non-champions just like what Tank is doing.
Might be, but I'm sensing from Ryan that he wanted to be a real champion, not just in paper so most likely he will try to go and faces the champion at 140 lbs. I think he has a good chance in beating them. As compare to 135 lbs which he has outgrown already and when he fought Davis, it's all for the money.
But maybe Ryan will dare fight the winner of Prograis and Haney especially if the victor shows many flaws that Ryan believes he can take advantage of. But there's also the issue with Ryan and GBP. Ryan's fight against Duarte might be his last with GBP so his next fight will depend on which promoter he will sign. If he signs with PBC then he might get the easiest undeserving WBA champion of the division, Rolly and there is also the IBF champ Subriel Matias but I guess it'll be suicide for Ryan. Matchroom has WBC champ Prograis and his challenger Devin Haney while Top Rank has the lineal, WBO champion Teofimo Lopez.
Yes, I think he has the advantage, Haney is pillow fisted fighter, so chances are slim that he can knock down or knock out Ryan. Prograis has the power, but he is that type of boxer that is flat footed and just fell in love with his power. And that's why he loses to Taylor as he can't him Josh Taylor with his power and Josh uses his boxing skills and movement to stay away from that power.
Hard to comment between Ryan and Oscar case, but yeah, if this is his last fight with Golden Boy then for sure he will move out immediately and sign with a new promoter.
So it's still almost a month before this fight. And just like most fight fans, Eddie Hearn is also anxious about this fight. Only the result of this fight will determine if Haney is really good and is stronger in this division since he was struggling at 135. Or Haney isn't good and was only good at 135 due to his size advantage.

it's even a wonder why Ryan still fights under GB even when there is litigation going on. they can't just look away from what happened to them, he will part ways with that promotion just like Canelo.
If he is fighting under GBP then they might have settled their difference already. And Ryan could have been just going to the motions to finished his contract and for sure he will be offered huge money by other promotional companies once he is a free agent.
do you think it's gonna be Haney vs Teo after Prograis? Haney arriving in this division and suddenly getting a shot against Prograis is stirring up the division which Haney vs Teo seems like the plan. but why didn't they just arrange Prograis vs Teo?
It's kinda complicated though, I mean Teo says that he is going to retire already, and it could be a good news for Haney to really move up in weight class and not face either Davis or Shakur at 135 and chooses Prograis as they think he is a weak champion.
But suddenly like it was just a prank on Teo's end, he suddenly says that he is back. So yeah, it get complicated, but it could be a good fight whichever what happened, Teo vs Regis or Haney at 140 lbs with a unification fight.
So it's still almost a month before this fight. And just like most fight fans, Eddie Hearn is also anxious about this fight.

I already voted for Haney by decision but personally, I want Prograis to win. So I support Prograis because he is the more exciting fighter by delivering knockouts in most of his fights.
Same here. Haney is a boring fighter and he should not be undisputed at the moment as Loma schooled him hehe. I just hope though that Prograis would knock him out because if this goes the distance, most likely Haney will win by decision as judges will favor him. We may not like him but Haney has also this amazing "Mayweather-like" defense.
Hopefully, Regis can back it up against Haney, I think Haney hasn't face a knockout artist like a southpaw like Prograis is. So this might gave Haney a problem. And Regis is really very confident that he will send Haney to the canvass and then score a knockout victory and give Haney his first L. But I wanted to see Regis put Haney first and wobble him like what Maidana did to Broner, that stanky feet.

Haney might try to emulate Mayweather’s style but he is a cheap knock-off. Since becoming champion none of his fights have been entertaining. Gamboa is a fighter that gets dropped almost every fight and Haney couldn’t hurt him. Linares, another washed up old guy hurt him badly. Joseph Diaz made him look average.
I think Haney will probably win but it’ll be like most of his other fights where he hugs his opponent all night.
Lol, but yeah, it's true, you forget to add one more fight, his controversial win against Loma. Others score it in favor of Loma and Haney even admits to his father that they have been exposed or at least their strategy is no longer working during the middle of the fight itself. So most likely, it will be like a hit and run and then hug Regis to avoid his power punch.
And then it will leave a bad taste for fighting fans again and really see how boring Haney's fight it. Although he has accomplished a lot at a young age and we can't deny that. But sometimes we wanted to see great fights, toe to toe like Pacman.
Why it seems that we are almost have the same feeling and looks about how Boring Haney being a gambler so I believe that he will not have that kind of popularity once become the Undisputed .
and also having a Mayweather defense style? this proves only that boredom in each of His fight.
Prograis on the other Hand is a tough and enjoyable fighter to watch , have been following him for some time and yes voting for him to win this one.
I think the only way for him to make his name shine is to beat every opponent by knockout no matter how strong they are and how much knockout power they have, as long as he smoothly beats them. But if he continues to have that running style and wins by points every time he gets in the ring, he won't be getting any addition to his current fame because we all know that someone like Gervonta Davis is the one who sells more in this kind of sport.

I found the Devin Haney vs. George Kambosos 2 fight to be very entertaining. Haney still won that fight, but I saw more action compared to his previous fights. Kambosos was a champion too, but he was outclassed by Haney. Not only is Haney quick and very smart with his strategy, but I could also tell during that specific fight that he has a solid chin.
So, I think he is really ready to face Prograis, who is a powerful puncher. I hope he won't be boring to watch, where all he does is hit and run, similar to his mentor. Obviously, he would win if the basis is only scoring, but that would leave the fans dissatisfied for this championship fight. I don't know if he is a PPV attraction, but if he is, he should improve his fighting style to entertain the fans more.

It would be another controversial outcome if he got schooled, survived the fight, but was able to win via judges' scorecards. It's pretty obvious that they want to keep him undefeated and market him in the future as the new face of boxing—typical rigging, which is rampant in boxing.
Haney has to win this one convincingly. It doesn't matter if he's boring; we can't do anything about that. But as the challenger, he should make the champion look like an amateur, so he will not be questioned.

Here is the video of the initial press conference to promote the fight,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzY12CDWpT0
Skill vs skills, it's not power vs skill as per Regis, he said that he is training very hard so we will see what skills he is talking about here.
So there's a lot of heated words thrown against each other already and so this is going to be going to be a interesting fight.

Thanks for sharing the video. Hey @OP, we might miss this fight if we don't bookmark the schedule. I'd like to request you to add the date to the thread title. This way, it can serve as a reminder for all the fans not to miss it.
Now, about the fighters – I thought Prograis was more of a quiet guy, but it's cool to see that his ego is getting a little boost because he sees Haney as a big threat. The fact that he's already being considered for Fighter of the Year might inspire Prograis to train even harder to beat Haney and get into that conversation. Let's be real, Haney is a beast in the ring, but this new weight class and the possibility of some trash talk from Haney is likely to fuel some heated exchanges, making the fight even more interesting.
Anyone here rooting for Prograis to win? or none?.....
Thanks for the heads up mate. I already included the date in the title.
Finally, they faced each other in the conference. I am also curious about what Prograis means that he is going to outbox Haney. Or it could be that Prograis is just trying to mislead Haney. The skills are obviously on Haney's side so Prograis has to focus on his strength which is power. But Prograis needs to work on his strength because he cannot allow Haney to just hug him and then hit him.
It's funny how a lot of the loudest mouths in boxing aren't the KO artists. Guys like Haney, Mayweather Jr., Jermell Charlo, etc. And you can seldom hear KO artists like Beterbiev and Prograis initiate the trash-talking.
I already voted for Haney by decision but personally, I want Prograis to win. So I support Prograis because he is the more exciting fighter by delivering knockouts in most of his fights.
You've nailed it. They are likely acting with a loud mouth because they want to attract fans. It worked for Mayweather, so they follow the same strategy. They aren't KO artists; people might only feel sleepy watching their fights, so they perform actions before the fight which are their trash talks to their opponents. It's also funny that, despite our criticism, we still can't resist watching them. Maybe some of us want to see them lose, but they remain undefeated until now. This way, they gain fans from both their haters and supporters.

Speaking of Haney though, a new interview surfaces about him becoming the fighter of the year,
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dCdZcnF-FMs
Most likely, if he wins against Regis and his performance against Loma.
On the other hand, the one side beating of Crawford against Spence could also be a good candidate for FOTY.
And as well as Canelo's performance against Jermell Charlo.
So let's see it first, if Haney can avoid the big left punch of Regis as he also said in his previous interviews that he is ready for it.

Well, he could still win a Fighter of the Year award, even if some people find him a bit boring. The guy just keeps winning and taking on some top names in boxing, like Loma, and now he's trying to move up and challenge the champion. If he manages to pull that off, he'll definitely be a top contender for those awards.
I used to think that a boxer had to be entertaining to win Fighter of the Year, but after a quick bit of research, I found out that even his idol won multiple awards, and he even earned the Fighter of the Decade award.
