Fighting on ShoBox: The New Generation — Haney scored a second round knockdown on his way to dominating the fight largely with the use of body shots and gradually breaking his opponent down as the fight progressed.
Speaking after the fight in his post-fight interview Haney said:
“I want those top guys (at 135lbs).”
He added:
“Now they really can’t deny me — I have been saying this for a long time but now I am a contender.”
