Devin Haney gives a mocking prediction
When pressed by the interviewer about the nature of this meme, Haney keeps his cards close to his chest with a simple, “You’ll see.” Suggesting that Haney thinks Prograis is a joke. Confident in his prowess and has earned the label of a superstar in the sport, Haney has emphatically labeled Prograis as a “one-trick pony” or, in his eyes, potential meme material.
As the interview unfolds, the interviewer attempts to extract more details, questioning whether the meme will be a knockout moment. Haney’s response, “he’s going to be a laughing stock when I’m done with him.”
Haney’s confidence is palpable, fueled by Prograis’ pre-fight trash talk. “He’s been talking all that,” Haney remarks, emphasizing that the upcoming match is not just about physical prowess but also about settling the verbal score. The anticipation reaches a crescendo as Haney confidently declares, “We’re going to see.”
In a surprising twist, Haney extends the reach of his meme prophecy to include Prograis’ coach, hinting that the meme spotlight won’t be reserved for the fighter alone. This adds an intriguing subplot to the narrative, as the stakes are not only personal but also extend to the broader boxing community.
Haney thinks Rougarou is a One Trick Pony
Devin Haney dismisses Regis Prograis as a “one-trick pony” relying solely on his left hook, asserting that this strategy won’t work in their upcoming fight on December 9th. Haney, confident in his technical skills, plans to outbox Prograis and secure victory to become a two-division world champion.
Despite acknowledging Prograis’ power, Haney doubts his opponent’s ability to connect significant shots. The anticipation for the fight is heightened as Haney expresses satisfaction with ticket sales and camp preparation.

In contrast, a loss for Prograis could have substantial career repercussions, given his age and limited chances of winning another belt at 140. Haney emphasizes the importance of skills over power and believes Prograis must cut off the ring to have a chance of winning.
