Oh yea agree. I think its Postol & then a title shot. Isn't Postol some highly ranked guy anyone so this is probably some sorta elimination for something I imagine.
Yea I'll be interested in seeing that fight cuz thats a whole other class of guy...but I feel like Regis might be a cat who's special to so how Regis looks when he does win, the most likely outcome I feel, is gonna be as important if not more important than the win in many ways in regards to seeing how special Regis actually is.
I like this move for Regis & I like the way they've moved Josh too. And I know I've seem some critical of Josh's next fight, but I think getting him in with these highly experienced guys PRE-winning a belt is gonna do him a great service when he does win a belt. He won't need as much on the job training as some guys do when they win a belt earlier in their trajectory.
I completely agree with you EP my man. And the bolded is EXACTLY how it should be done if you ask me.
I was surprised that they moved Regis right on up there with the Postol caliber type opponent, when 1st mentioned I was a little skeptical, as I thought it might be a little bit too soon.
But as I've thought more about how they match up, I think that Regis has enough built up now to quite possibly make a statement. Even if it dosent turn into a statement fight, he'll gain invaluable knowledge being in the ring with ol Vik. How he deals with Vik's length is gonna be interesting.
Right Now? Prograis would knock Taylor Out! :lol1: I think Prograis will have a Break Out year this year but lets see how he does vs Postol but I really like Prograis Combinations of Power, Skills and Slickness
I think Regis is closer to a title & I think both sides would likely rather both guys have titles before this fight gets made so I'm guessing its not likely anytime soon or at least til one has a title & most likely both have titles. So I think there is virtually no chance it happens in 2018 with a solid chance of it happening in 2019 if both guys keep winning.
Might not happen this year EP my man, but by matching him with Postol to me it's a clear indication of them stepping up his comp to be in position if not make the run.
But, yea interesting aspect of wanting Regis and Josh to both have belts. I don't care as long as these kids teams build them strong with good comp along the way. I'm ready to see how Regis handles Viktor. Last I saw of ol Vik Bud was beatin the dogsheit outta him. Should be a good scrap though.
Taylor has faced better opposition, has better skills and a better amateur pedigree ( correct me if im wrong)
Not to mention Taylor is HUGE for the weight.
Taylor TKO 10th round
Bumping for Regis "Mr. Rougarou Beat The WHOLE Hoe outcha" Prograis. Lets get some hype behind this 140 lb Monstah!!!!
I say the Postal fight is a big step up for him. His team is making a push for the division this year if you ask me.
Taylor by a dominant KO, I don’t see anything all that special about Prograis, he looks very open to hook’s and uppercuts IMO, I’m supremely confident Taylor would beat him
What are the chances of this bout materialiZing and who wins right now?
That doesn't happen until both guys have world titles, or if Prograis gets a belt and Taylor is frozen out of every other shot.
Wouldn't make sense at any other point
Ohhhhhhh, these are two of my favorites at 140. Prograis has a bit more seasoning at the top level but I wouldn't pick a winner until I see Taylor step up more. He's the goods though, so 140 should be picking up all over again by the end of next year.
Top level? Who has he fought? Joel diaz jr??
