This marked Prograis&#8217; (29-2) initial loss since October 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This bout represented Haney&#8217;s inaugural fight as a super welterweight following his relinquishment of the undisputed lightweight crown. Haney opted to ascend weight classes due to struggles in meeting the lightweight division&#8217;s weight requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his hometown of San Francisco, Haney received roaring support as he relentlessly delivered a sharp left hand and numerous powerful right hooks, effectively disrupting Prograis&#8217; rhythm throughout the bout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the third round, Haney floored Prograis with a piercing straight right hand, asserting dominance early in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the bout progressed, Prograis struggled to evade Haney&#8217;s precise right-hand strikes, resulting in a small cut on his nose by the sixth round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a late surge in the later rounds by Prograis, who faced criticism after a lackluster victory over Danielito Zorrilla in June, Haney maintained control. He consistently landed strikes, notably staggering the former champion with a relentless barrage of three consecutive powerful right hooks in the ninth round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haney&#8217;s triumph paves the way for lucrative matchups, with rumors swirling about potential bouts against Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia on the horizon for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the co-main event, Liam Paro secured a victory over Montana Love via TKO in the sixth round, clinching the WBO Intercontinental super lightweight championship. Paro asserted dominance by dropping Love twice within the round, first with a left uppercut and then with a powerful left to the head, compelling the referee to halt the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to that, Miyo Yoshida of Japan claimed victory in the women\u2019s IBF bantamweight title through a unanimous decision over the reigning champion, Ebanie Bridges. Meanwhile, Andy Cruz, a former Olympic champion, secured a TKO win in the third round against Jovanni Straffon during his second professional fight, thus seizing both the IBF and vacant WBA Continental Latin-American lightweight titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/alaskaglobe.com\/shohei-ohtani-signs-contract-with-los-angeles-dodgers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shohei Ohtani signs contract with Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a><\/em><\/strong><br><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/alaskaglobe.com\/severe-storms-and-tornadoes-in-tennessee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Severe Storms and Tornadoes in Tennessee Claim Lives of 6, Leaving Widespread Destruction<\/a><\/em><\/strong><br><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/alaskaglobe.com\/enjoy-the-thrills-of-playing-lego-fortnite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Embracing the Metaverse: Enjoy the Thrills of Playing Lego Fortnite<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devin Haney beat Regis Prograis: In his divisional debut, Devin Haney secured a unanimous decision victory against Regis Prograis, claiming the WBC super welterweight title in his hometown on Saturday evening.
