Devin Haney is only 25 years old and already a two-division champion.
In his much-anticipated super lightweight debut, Haney demolished Regis Prograis to capture the WBC title in front of his hometown faithful on Saturday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif. Already a former undisputed lightweight champion, Haney beat Prograis from pillar to post in his 140-pound debut, scoring a knockdown in Round 3 and ultimately winning a clean 120-107 sweep on the judges' scorecards.

Final @CompuBox stats for #HaneyPrograis. Prograis lands fewest punches ever in a 12-rd fight in the 38-year history of CompuBox. Breaks De Los Santos record of 40 set a few weeks ago vs. Shakur. #boxingpic.twitter.com/Z0mXDKm3l2

This was Devin at his finest but his finest is something that can put people to sleep that is watching. I know what he's missing. He can have it one day but he don't have it right now. Make your assumptions i can't wait to get it active with him!!!! #HaneyPrograis
