Devin Haney crawled out of the woodwork tonight to kick a man while he was down, trashing Regis Prograis after his 12-round unanimous decision defeat against Jack Catterall at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England.

Haney seemed to take issue with Prograis (29-3, 24 KOs) graciously telling Catterall (30-1, 13 KOs) that he’s “the best” he’s fought during his career and saying he deserves a world title shot now.

That classy comment from the former WBA and WBC 140-lb champion Prograis caused a reaction from Haney, who roasted him on X, saying that he “ruined” Prograis with his win over him last year on December 9th at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

Boxing fans believe that Ryan Garcia ruined Haney, who hasn’t fought since and may never be the same after the way he was dominated in their fight on April 20th.

Haney won a one-sided 12-round unanimous decision with the scores 120-107 x 3, but it was an ugly win involving a lot of holding and running on his part. It was so boring to watch, and even more so than Catterall’s win tonight, which had a Shakur-esque quality to it. The difference is that Catterall is just a blue-collar guy from the UK.

Catterall showed some rare power tonight, dropping the 35-year-old Prograis twice in round nine and putting him on the defensive in the final three rounds. In the twelfth, Prograis attempted to throw a homerun bail-out punch, missing badly and falling on the canvas face-first.

The scores were 117-108, 116-109, and 116-109. Prograis’ defeat could end his career. He didn’t make a retirement announcement, but it’s believed that he might choose to retire.

“I think Jack is the best I fought,” said Prograis to DAZN after his loss tonight against Jack Catterall. “I had my time in the sun. It’s time to turn it over to him. Really good, Jack. I fought the best of them. You were the best so far.”
