Mill City Boxing<\/a>, Prograis \u2013 who Haney knocked down and beat on the cards in 2023 \u2013 said that, despite feeling his former foe is \u2018too big\u2019 for the fight, he still edges towards a Stevenson win.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019ll fight because Haney\u2019s too big. I\u2019m not saying Shakur\u2019s a little guy, but Shakur is small compared to Devin.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey really have similar styles, Devin\u2019s just a bigger version. Shakur\u2019s left-handed, I think a little more skilled for me. But if they fought, I would still say Shakur, just because of the left-handed style. It\u2019ll be close. Nobody\u2019s gonna knock the other out, it would just be a boxing match. I don\u2019t see nobody getting hurt. I don\u2019t think it\u2019d be that exciting. I go for Shakur, but if Devin wins or draws, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stevenson has proposed either a catchweight of 144lbs or 147lbs with a rehydration clause, but Haney is intent on not giving the smaller man any sort of advantage, and will seemingly only take the fight if it is at welterweight with no stipulation.<\/a> That condition may be the sticking point to an all-American super-fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After sharing twelve rounds with Devin Haney, Regis Prograis has weighed in on how his former rival may…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-626679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
