    I don’t appreciate Haney flat out avoiding Shakur or Loma rematch but I still think Regis Prograis is a credible opponent for him. Should be an interesting styles match up but I fear it could end up becoming a total snooze fest. Hope I’m wrong.

    I'm glad Regis agreed to the date change because I was sure that was going to be an issue. It's a great fight, but I favor Haney by Unanimous Decision, but with Prograis you just never know, he can box and he's definitely a bigger puncher than Haney so we'll see.

    Haney was way too big for lightweight and although I was really looking forward to a possible Haney-Stevenson fight moving up makes a lot of sense. No fighter likes cutting weight and I'm sure that cutting weight you shouldn't be cutting is a miserable experience. Prograis is a really good, tough to figure fighter and Haney is going to have his work cut out for him.

    Add this fight to the December Bam Rodriguez-Sunny Edwards fight and the always good New Year's Eve card in Japan and it looks like this is going to be a very good year for boxing from beginning to end.

    Very Floyd/Canelo like decision. He's fighting a dangerous guy whose much more beatable. Shakur's a few levels above imo @Flo_Raiden

    Don't see it happeneing,

    Haney is twitchy athletic, will grab a hold of Regis & nullify him, has a really good & busy jab that will keep Prograis occupied & also packs a decent pop with his hands.

    Pillow Hands Haney has no power. If he wins it'll be the boring hug contest stuff he always does

    Quack quack Devin ''The Duck'' Haney running from the rematch against a well past their best blown up 126 pounder who he had 20lbs on and just under 6'' in reach and who only 17% of those who took part in a gigantic record breaking 118k poll had Haney winning in order to face an extremely favourable stylistic match up for him who looked like absolute crap in their previous fight against a dollar store Haney rangy boxer mover whose style caused them absolute nightmares.

    Duck doesn't even sound like dream. Maybe "The Drake" could work. The name of a male duck. Because it still has the dr at the beginning.

    Doesn't have to rhyme. The first letter will suffice but Drake is good

    Prograis has the power to end this - if he can pin Haney down and avoid being held.

    Depends on how much Regis has left, but I like the thought of this one backfiring on Haney

    Pathetic that he is not rematching Loma
