Is Devin Haney’s defense a myth?
Regis Prograis is gearing up for what could be the defining fight of his career against the still-unbeaten Devin Haney. As December 9 looms, Prograis’ confidence is sky-high. He’s not just aiming to win; he’s also out to stop Haney, to dismantle the much-lauded defense of his younger adversary.
In an interview on the Last Stand Podcast with Brian Custer, Prograis laid out his plan with stark clarity. “I’m going to stop him. I feel like I’m gonna stop him,” he asserted. This wasn’t mere bravado. Prograis continued, detailing his observations of Haney’s past performances. “People says Haney’s a defensive this — he’s not defensive master, he gets hit. He gets hit flush with a lot of shots. He’s not like a Floyd or nothing like that.“
Moreover, Prograis challenged the caliber of Haney’s previous opponents, framing them as smaller fighters who still managed to find their marks. “He’s never been hit by somebody like me. I’m a real ‘40 pounder and I have power in both hands. So I definitely feel like I’m going to stop him for sure,” Prograis proclaimed.

This verbal jab serves more than just pre-fight hype. It signifies Prograis’ unshakable belief in his own power and size advantage. Transitioning from words to action, Prograis is clearly focused on the physicality of the upcoming clash, ready to test Haney’s chin with his superior firepower.
Regis Prograis unfazed by Haney’s physique
Despite Devin Haney’s rigorous training and flaunted physical form on social media, Regis Prograis remains unimpressed and steadfast in his convictions. Haney, who showcased his chiseled frame on the platform formerly known as Twitter and has been seen honing his skills with Manny Pacquiao’s esteemed coach, is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation. Yet, Prograis dismisses these displays of dedication, zeroing in on what he believes to be Haney’s critical shortfall—his punching power.

“He live in the weight room for the next 3 years and that sh*t ain’t gonna matter. If you can’t punch you just can’t punch. I’m gonna hurt this lil soft a** boy,” Prograis proclaimed further with dismissive confidence. His words cut through the noise of social media hype, laying bare his belief that when they face off in the ring, Haney’s punches won’t hold the necessary force to tilt the scales in his favor. Prograis’ confidence suggests that for him, the outcome is all but decided.
Such statements further set the stage for a confrontation that extends beyond the physical realm. It’s a challenge to the very reputation Haney has built. As the boxing world watches, the question is not just who will emerge victorious, but whether Prograis can translate his prediction into reality with the whole world watching.
