    That’s fair then I guess, would certainly make sense. I’d love to see it happen. Was at Taylor- prograis live. Brilliant fighter Regis. Nice fella too. Appreciate the info. Genuinely wondered about him.
    I'm a Taylor fan, but have definitely become a Prograis fan since their great fight. I hope he wins another title and gets a big rematch with Josh at 147 further down the line.

      Regis is 33, Taylor has all the belts and if he stays at 140 there is no saying when he will get a shot. Unless Taylor goes up to 147 and vacates they will be a lot of waiting around. There is no great option for Regis at 140 so if he can he should move up. I rather him be at the weight that he is more effective but there are no real challenges unless Lopez goes at him.

        You could be right, but that's what he's been saying consistently since he lost to Taylor. He's just started using a nutritionist also to make weight easier, so he's staying put for now. Taylor will move up after the Catteral fight, so I expect those titles will become vacant. It's up to probellum to get him his shot at one of the new champions as quickly as they can.

          I hope either he fights for a belt or a meaningful fight. Prograis is a good fighter and should be in the mix. Taylor was able to withstand the pressure in the end that was getting to him a bit. That is why I give Taylor so much credit. One of the best mashups as of late that is so underrated

            I'd love to see Regis vs Ramirez.

              That is one of the few match ups left at 140. I think Zepeda looks shopworn but you never know.

                Decent fight for Porograis, but i'm not excited! Brandun Lee and Subriel Matias look like real killers @ 140! I wish Prograis was fighting one of them! Also keeping my eye on Frank Martin and Montana Love! FREE SHOJAHON ERGASHEV!!!

                  Nice card. Prograis should blow through McKenna if he's firing on all cylinders. It's a good step back in with a new promoter and sounds like Parabellum is compensating him well. The Edwards/Waseem fight is also intriguing. Nice style matchup, I've enjoyed both fighters I'm the limited amount of times I've seen them.

                  Curious to see how Parabellum plans to present this to worldwide audiences. I know they talked about having their own app which is imagine would be a subscription or PPV model. Not sure if they are at that stage yet. I know I want to see these fights though.

                    Seems a one-sided card.
