Devin Haney put on a masterful performance on Saturday night at San Francisco’s Chase Center. In his super lightweight debut at 140 lbs., Haney won unanimously and became a two-division champion. Regis Prograis was supposed to be a tough opponent, but the fight became arguably one of Haney’s best performances. Across the fight, Prograis hurled a lot of trash talk towards Haney and his inability to KO opponents.

Haney tactically dealt with Prograis and completely dismantled any threats inside the ring. Compared to Devin Haney and Prograis, Haney’s father, Bill Haney, and Prograis’s coach, Evins Tobler, had much more trash talk. Subsequently, Prograis and Tobler kept stating how Haney acted tough like a gangster but studied at a private school. At the post-fight press conference, Haney had the last laugh as he stated: 

Man, I'm just a private school kid. That’s all, that’s all.

However, during the fight, the arena chanted Haney’s name, and the reporter asked Haney how it made him feel. Haney stated with a witty response that he was just a private school kid, with a smile on his face.
