Prograis - Doesn't cut off the ring - No jab - Low work rate Matias - cuts off the ring better than anyone at 140 - has an effective and dangerous jab - highest workrate at 140 (88 punches a round) Matias fights nothing like Prograis, in fact you couldn't be more off about a fighter, I'm speaking as someone who has followed Haney, Matias, Lopez before they went pro. Prograis isn't a volume puncher like Matias and that's a fact. Matias throws 88-100 punches a round. He doesn't try to KO opponents right away. He peppers his shots in compact short shots, landing at 39% accuracy. Prograis has a very low workrate. Prograis also has no jab and there isn't a fight where he shown a jab. The iab is Matias most used punch and it sets up his pressure. Matias has a very good jab for his style because it has unconventional timing and it's deceptively strong. It's land like a cross without Matias loading up. Matias has hurt his last 5 opponents with the jab so you can't even downplay it. It works for Matias. Prograis also doesn't cut off the ring. At all. Matias best attribute along with his stamina is cutting off the ring. You can say Matias has flat feet, but flat feet doesnt mean slow feet. Matias has endlessly wheels to cutting off angles and making the ring smaller. He's very methodical to his ring generalship. This comparison is 100% off and I think you're putting too much stock into Devin Haney vs Prograis, where Prograis already been dropped at his hometown by Zorilla who isn't a top 50 LW, Haney has 0 TKOs since 2019 and he couldn't finish a 35 year old short Prograis who ducked Matias for 5 years. Prograis was always overhyped and was never a boogeyman like Matias because Matias called out Prograis every month since 2019. Check boxing scene if you need receipts. Thinking Matias preforms like Prograis against Haney is a mindless take. Matias is an unconventional pressure fighter. Haney distance won't come into play because Matias is bigger than Haney and has a jab than reaches Haney. Haney will clinch against Matias and unlike Prograis, Matias knows how to abuse his opponent in the clinch. Haney can't hurt Matias. Haney can't clinch Matias. Even Richardson Hitchins admitted on Mill City Boxing "you can't keep Matias on the outside". So how come a pro boxer who fights just like Haney admits you can't keep Matias on the outside but you spoke for 10 minutes not even mentioning that? What does Devin do when he doesn't have his legs by round 5 because Matias body shots don't miss, whether you're moving or not. What does Devin do when he can't rely on the distance game because he's exhausted running for 5 rounds from a guy who can reach him? Matias isn't Prograis, he moves and cuts off the ring exceptionally well. Haney has boxing skills but he can't fight and he's chinny. He has to hurt Matias to the body to stop him. Matias TKO in 7.
On the FightHubTV interview, Bill made up a story about Peter Khan/4 million which was proven false by Matias and his team. Ever since then, Bill has acted agitated and defensive. When exposed for making up a story, Matias sent his manager number to Bill. Bill calls Matias manager yelling. Bill does this 3 times (confirmed by Matias, Jay Najar and Matias manager himself). It's odd behavior because why would anyone yell on the phone to avoid negiotation? I have timestamps to where Bill acts this way, excuse the length: 1. This content is protected go to 23:39 Panda Najar confirms Bill Haney was yelling. Bill was only "respectful" after the yelling, which he continued to do until Najar went on 3 way. This followed with Bill Haney asking for a price, and Juan invited Bill to a meeting in Arizona, in which Bill has declined. This was confirmed in an interview by Matias. 2. Matias did an interview with details on Bill Haney declining a meeting to negiotate a fight. You can use auto captions to translate to English: This content is protected Matias confirms Bill Haney declined the meeting on this time stamp go to 1:00:02 in that video 3. In this video on 1/28/2024 Bill Haney was asked about meeting Sandor Martin before Subriel Matias: https://www.youtube.com/live/Y431ApbhOh8 2:15:00 Bill Haney confirmed they already met with Sandor Martin, on the record. 4. Matias did this interview on 1/31/2024 This content is protected * Bill was yelling to avoid negiotation until he calmed down, just to never show up to a meeting he was invited to. * Bill Haney declined a meeting to meet with Sandor Martin instead. If Matias declined a meeting with Bill. Matias does his interviews in Spanish on Spanish speaking channels so those algorithms may not reach the English speaking audience. Matias confirmed in interviews Haney declined the meeting and ended negiotations. Bill Haney went on ThaBoxingVoice and tries to pretend that he's calling up Subriel Matias and then gets exposed by Matias trainer and manager. There was a moment on here where he said that he had Matias manager on the phone when he was talking to his trainer. Then the trainers video call dropped. Bill thought he hung up on him because he knew he was full of ****. Bill then started saying: "I'm just kidding; I'm just kidding!!! I didn't really have his manager on the phone! Please, get him back! I didn't have anyone on the phone." So Bill can openly lie and no one calls him out for it? When it came to negiotating, Bill yelled and avoided talking. Matias team even sent an invite to meet in person and Bill declined. Let's recap because no Haney fans have debunked these 6 points. 1. Bill Haney was on FightHubTV and was asked about Subriel Matias, he responded with a made up story about Peter Khan(who isn't Matias manager) and 4 million(Matias never spoke to Bill at the time of the FightHubTV interview, if he wasn't scared, why would he make up a fake story? 2. Matias team come out with a public statement that Bill was lying, Peter Khan isnt his manager, Matias team is represented by Juan Orengo and Pedro Cruz. 3. Bill lying about Matias went public. It's a viral topic on ThaBoxingVoice. Bill goes on the TBV with weird dishonest energy. Matias trainer who use to train Haney and known Bill over 10 years are talking, but Matias trainer Panda Najar is nice to Bill where as Bill is looking to argue because he has nothing to say about the fake story he made up about Peter Khan/4 million. He deflects the fake story and changes topics. 4. Bill Haney was given Matias manager number. Not only this confirms Bill was lying (if he was confused he wouldn't have made up a whole story of FightHubTV and just admit he doesn't have the number to Matias team) 5. Matias manager, Matias himself and coach Panda all confirmed Bill was yelling and acting childishish on the phone to even negiotate a deal. If Bill wasn't scared, why would he yell? Matias team eventually got back to Bill. 6. Bill Haney declined a meeting to negiotate a fight. This was confirmed by Matias and his team. Instead Bill Haney takes his own time to meet with Sandor Martin instead. This was confirmed on 1/28/2024. Bill Admits on Mill City Boxing that he met with Sandor Martin to pay step aside money to fight RYAN GARCIA. YOU SAY HANEY WANTS TO FIGHT THE BEST? DEVIN DOESNT EVEN TWEET MATIAS NAME. HES A CHICKEN.
Prograis fights nothing like Matias. Prograis relies on one punch to knockout. Matias relies 100 punches per round to stop guys. You don't know the difference between one punch KO artist vs volume punchers? That alone proves you're a dumbass who shouldn't talk boxing. You're just desperate to make Haney look like Floyd Jr when he's closer to Paulie Malginaggi. the problem with you Haneysexuals is that you think Haney is the next Floyd but Floyd had everything Haney will never have. Haney isn't a ppv attraction outside the ring or inside the ring. That's why he's coddled and protected highly. Stop acting like Haney sells fights when Devin and his team won't even reveal the numbers for his last ppv. the problem with you Haneysexuals is that you think Haney is the next Floyd but Floyd had everything Haney will never have. Haney isn't a ppv attraction outside the ring or inside the ring. That's why he's coddled and protected highly. Stop acting like Haney sells fights when Devin and his team won't even reveal the numbers for his last ppv. Proverbs from the Bible of fansgirls for Devin the Duck Haney: "Bill called!" "We still waiting for Matias to respond to Bill!" "Bill reached out!" "Bill did get in touch with the right promoter after lying about a 4 million dollar offer" "Bill called and was respectful! Yelling and hanging up isnt a big deal" "ANAYAN" "Panda said he wants Barboza over Haney but we can't provide a timestamp in the video where he says that" "Devin has power" "Devin is the face of boxing" "Devin is a PPV draw" "Bill called!!" "What meeting?" "Why they gotta do a meeting in person?" "My information comes from respectable sources like Aktv Blue Clown Sports or Nestor the Snitch" "Bill still called though!" "Bill never yelled he was peaceful" "Matias fights just like Prograis."
Haney is a good fighter, but I think Matias has the styles advantage here. A pressure fighter is usually a problem for a pure boxer.
The hate for Haney on here is out of hand. He’s a very good young boxer who is making some big fights. I felt Loma was unlucky not to get the nod in their fight but it was still close. The Loma fanboy brigade needs to move on.
I think Matias does beat the crap out of Haney but I think he only has a two-year window to do it in, including this year. He's an older fighter and he may start slowing down/having trouble making the weight, and then Haney will be able to dance circles around him.
LOL everyone got no respect for Rollie. Hope we get the Teo and Matias fight later this year or early next year
