    He had the WBC belt for a few years, then he went on to beat Kambosos Jr twice, which who by the way beat the man who beat the man.

    He’s incredibly hard to hit flush. I was at both Kambosos’ fights and barracking for a Kambosos victory and saw first hand George couldn’t land too many power shots on the button.

    Haney isn’t a KO artist and I think that bothers people. I liken him to an Andre Ward.

    If Haney beats Prograis without controversy then I'll be the first to give him credit.

    But Kambosos is seen as a bit of one hit wonder with the Lopez fight, and the Lomachenko fight as I said alot of people thought Haney lost.

    So I'm not overly impressed with Haney as of right now but a convincing win over Prograis would change that.

    That would be a significant feat, if head actually deserved the win that made him undisputed.

    But most observers believe he lost that fight.

    Haney is undisputedly the illegitimate lightweight champion. If Regis is everything I've heard from him, he'll set the record straight.

    I'd love to see Rougarou knock Haney spark out on his Hungry Hippos stupid face but I think Haney will win. There's a reason why he took this fight and ducked the rematch with Loma even though Loma is a well past his best 20lb lighter near six inch reach shorter old man and it would've been in his country again with a home ref and three judges to rob the foreigner again

    And that reason is Rougarou not only looked like crap in his previous fight against a rangy boxer mover dollar store version of Haney but he looked completely clueless on how do deal with that style and close the distance.

    And of course, what with Haney being the biggest weight bully in the sport, at best a huge 147 pounderm he's much bigger and longer than career 140 Rougarou.

    Obviously after how terrible Rougarou looked in his last fight, including getting dropped, and how badly he struggled with that style and being able to close the distance they see Rougarou as a perfect stylistic fit for Haney.

    Just as they did with one-hit wonder Kambosos who won his three previous fights via SD or MD, and cannot deal with boxers his own size let alone way bigger ones like Haney, and one of those SD wins over a boxer was against Haney's assistant trainer Mickey Bey who was old, well past his best, and had only fought once in 3.5 years, against a bum.

    Rougarou might be a southpaw and much bigger and more powerful than Loma but the talent and skill disparity between them is night and day. Despite his T-Rex reach, the other huge physical advantages he's routinely giving away, the extremely wide range of styles he's faced, the amount of punchers and KO artists he's fought, and the many super fast opponents he's fought, Loma has never had the slightest problem hitting anyone or getting into range when he lets his hands go. Conversely, Rougarou couldn't even do that against a D level last time out.
