Comments Thread For: Prograis On Recent Mikey Garcia Loss: 'I Was The Biggest Loser; I Would Have Destroyed Mikey'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Regis Prograis is still smarting over missing out on what would have been a once-in-a-career opportunity. For a time the Houston-based southpaw was involved in serious discussions to fight four-division champion Mikey Garcia. But Garcia decided to take a tune-up fight against unheralded Spaniard contender Sandor Martin this past October, only to lose by stunning majority decision: one judge had it a draw, while two others had Martin up 97-93.

It's amazing what a very close win/loss can do for fighter's careers. Whilst I see Taylor in most top 10 P4P lists, and often as high as 5, Prograis is kind of forgotten about. People (fans of Taylor especially) seem to forget that Taylor vs Prograis was razor close, and could have went either way. Nash had it 115-113 Taylor, but would have been fine with it the other way. Great fight too, would love a rematch of that, and Nash favours Prograis. Taylor is great, but he's getting hyped like he's on the Fury, Canelo, Crawford level, he isn't. Nash out.

nah - that sucks for him at his age and stage of his career - he fell down a really long snake (and he shouldn't have done) by losing to Taylor. He needs an equally big ladder to ascend quickly and also earn the money he wants and deserves - the only fight is Ramirez - works great for both of them. Though having said that - he could probably do with a tune-up as well - might as well try and jump on the Broner gravy-train, or what's left of it, and fight Ramirez after that.

Anyone like Taylor/Ramirez/Prograis should all be looking at The Barrios/Thurman fight - if Barrios pulls out for any reason they should jump in there real fast as Thurman is not a serious fighter at this point.

Prograis needs to get back into the ring and just fight, quit waiting for a big money fight and force one

Worst decision he ever made was moving up to face errol

He's been chasing Ramirez for far too long! Plus Ramirez is fighting Pedraza! Prograis needs a fight ASAP! None of those 3 fighters have a fight pending! Maybe Puello? Puello is sitting at WBA #1, and just fought recently.

Yup,even when both his dad and brother advised against it. It was a great payday for himself but it was a pathetic performance with that ridiculous fist pumping after every rd where he didn't do ****. Almost as pathetic as his performance against Sandor.He doesn't have the size or athleticism to compete at 147,hell even at 140 hes undersized. Seems like his biggest issue is his lack of willingness to put in the roadwork/conditioning at this point in his career.

Financially it was a win but u gotta ask yourself, after that fight he's never looked the same and how many other big fights would there have been if he didn't fight Spence, short-term thinking, but I guess it's a lot of $ in the here and now
