Devin Haney crawled out of the woodwork tonight to kick a person whereas he was down, trashing Regis Prograis after his 12-round unanimous determination defeat towards Jack Catterall on the Co-op Reside Enviornment in Manchester, England.

Haney appeared to take subject with Prograis (29-3, 24 KOs) graciously telling Catterall (30-1, 13 KOs) that he’s “the very best” he’s fought throughout his profession and saying he deserves a world title shot now.
That elegant remark from the previous WBA and WBC 140-lb champion Prograis brought on a response from Haney, who roasted him on X, saying that he “ruined” Prograis along with his win over him final yr on December ninth on the Chase Middle in San Francisco, California.
Boxing followers consider that Ryan Garcia ruined Haney, who hasn’t fought since and will by no means be the identical after the best way he was dominated of their combat on April twentieth.
Haney gained a one-sided 12-round unanimous determination with the scores 120-107 x 3, but it surely was an unsightly win involving lots of holding and operating on his half. It was so boring to look at, and much more so than Catterall’s win tonight, which had a Shakur-esque high quality to it. The distinction is that Catterall is only a blue-collar man from the UK.
Catterall confirmed some uncommon energy tonight, dropping the 35-year-old Prograis twice in spherical 9 and placing him on the defensive within the ultimate three rounds. Within the twelfth, Prograis tried to throw a homerun bail-out punch, lacking badly and falling on the canvas face-first.
The scores have been 117-108, 116-109, and 116-109. Prograis’ defeat may finish his profession. He didn’t make a retirement announcement, but it surely’s believed that he may select to retire.
“I feel Jack is the very best I fought,” mentioned Prograis to DAZN after his loss tonight towards Jack Catterall. “I had my time within the solar. It’s time to show it over to him. Actually good, Jack. I fought the very best of them. You have been the very best thus far.”
