    Mismatch. I like Paro, but Haney is too big and too strong.

    I'd sooner see Haney vs Ennis, or Haney vs Keyshawn Davis.

    As much as I would like to see him pull that off he’s most likely gonna get outboxed badly by Haney. It’ll be like the Kambosos fights all over again.

    Paro will find Haney's chin at some stage and he cracks harder than George.

    Paro is not a ko artist and not super quick / explosive. I don't see him standing more of a chance than kambosos.

    It's not for a lack of wanting to see him succeed, though.

    Haney will flog him. Too big. Too slick. Too fast. Too evasive.

    Paro lost to Hitchins so he will likely lose to Haney.

    Wishful thinking but we’ve seen some crazy upsets happen so this isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Imagine if Paro somehow pulled off what Kambosos did against Teofimo Lopez.

    Paro's got no pop. When was his last knockout win? Jarvis? Even in the Matthyse fight he looked feather fisted. No way he outboxes Haney. He'll be lucky to win 2 rounds. He'll get out jabbed all night.

    Haney easy points win.

    Steve Chago fell victim to a Paro right hand. But he still survived. Chock Jarvis wasn't so lucky. An overrated, over hyped Aussie if ever I saw one. He's one of many. Paro is a decent Aussie obviously 2 time world champion. But he's out of his depth here.

    Devin is too quick and athletic for Paro

    Haney wins this pretty easily. Paro won't be able to figure out Haney if he couldn't figure out Hitchins. Good fight though. Fair play to Devin for going from Norman to another belt holder; if other US fighters had this mentality, then the sport would be doing a lot better there.

    Haney enters the ring at 170 lbs and huggy bears his way to a boring win.
