    no regis just looked bad, haney is good beating on these small fighters and using his size advatages, but hes gonna get his ass beat when he gets to 147, where he will no longer possess such size advatages. hes not that fast, throws few shots, and his inside game is non existant, not to mention hes got pillow hands that will only get weaker as he moves up.

    His discipline and the way he stuck to the game plan was incredible. Mayweather-esque (not as good I know) but similar.

    many boxers would have went in for the finish but Haney does his utmost to make sure he makes minimal risks. Bit boring to some but a masterclass to others.

    I think he will stay for a while were he is enough big money fights where he is in Davis, Garcia, Lopez, Shakur etc. if he goes 147 too soon he could be rushed into Crawford and Crawford would hurt him badly.

    Absolutely, he looked strong. Made Pro look like a "bum" that didn't belong in the ring with him.

    Haney did what I fear Sunny Edwards might do next week.

    No knockout power...
    I say his 12-0 domination was more impressive than a knockout, plus, his opponent only landed 36 punches the whole damn fight..

    I really hope not. But unwillingness to engage in a fight going forward is what Sunny is great at. Have to give props to skilled boxers even if I am not a fan or want to see them lose. I'm going with Bam winning a close fight, would love to see a KO but think Sunny is too evasive to get stopped.

    Sunny is good, but Bam is on a whole different level. I expect Bam to dominate after around the 4 round and start to put some work on Edward's. I wouldn't be surprised if Bam get a stoppage inside 9 rounds.

    I’m sure nearly every boxer from novice to professional will agree not getting hit is the hardest thing to do in the ring. Pro still threw 300+ punches. Haney put on a masterclass on how not to get hit.

    Yes, I thought Prograis was gonna win but was proven wrong. I didn’t finish the fight though, I knew it was just gonna be another stinker and I couldn’t miss the Top Rank war.

    :lol: God no. Not remotely

    Rougaruo getting dropped and outboxed for long spells and arguably losing to a D level dollar store Haney in his previous fight
