    Haney is the most boring boxer in the game.

    Highly talented but absolutely unwatchable.

    He done what he supposed to do beat a done 34yr old holder .. Teo still the guy at 140 and Tank the guy at 135 go figure lol.

    Adam Azim would of stopped Regis inside 8rds even right now ..

    Azim will KO Haney like I've said for a while when they meet in the near future ..

    Massive for what weight you clown? It’s his first fight at 140 pounds and he just won a world title.

    Haney was a -400 favorite so this outcome was expected. Wouldve shocked me if Haney had some KDs and stopped Regis inside 8 or 9 rounds.

    Haney won more easily than I thought but I had him winning wide mostly due his larger frame even though he was the one moving up in weight.

    I did not even watch the fight, because there was a more promising alternative.

    Yes, absolutely, another masterclass from one of the best pure boxers in the sport. He absolutely dismantled a world champion moving up a division. It’s a shame he won’t get the credit he deserves because the Loma fanboys cannot take an L. Face it, their fight was simply very close and could have gone either way, it was no robbery (one scorecard was too wide I’ll give them that). If anything, last night also showed how great a fighter Loma is considering he pushed Haney all the way and arguably won.

    Yes i was impressed with Haney but at the same time Prograis was very disappointing

    How could you not be?

    Prograis despite what any of the revisionists will say now was an elite level 140lbs'er and Haney came up and dominated him in his first fight at 140.

    It was shades of Floyd Mayweather vs Diego Corrales

    Not really. He only showed what I already knew.

    I will be impressed if he does the same with the top guys at 147. And no, I don't think that he will be able to do it, they will put Hanney in a coffin.

    Very impressive performance from Haney, who stayed focused and disciplined. Arguably his best performance. Made Prograis look like a second rate fighter. It was a great pure boxing display. I just wish Haney at least pushed himself to finish his opponents more often. He has every opportunity to end the fight at any moment when his opponent is helpless but still chooses to fight safely.

    I scored the fight for Haney although Loma did perform very well from the middle rounds all the way to the penultimate.

    What I took away from last night’s fight is Haney looks stronger at 140 and he was more than likely weight drained in his fight against Lomachenko. His weight ins from Lomachenko and Prograis look like night and day.
