Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis Seeks New Opponent For June 17 DAZN Headliner; Liam Paro Withdraws Due To Injury

[Brian T]

An undisclosed injury has forced Australia’s Liam Paro to withdraw from his planned challenge of Prograis’ WBC junior welterweight title.

Right, he had an issue with his 'heart', and its a lot of that going around with the...fighters....of today.
Like Spence, the Charlo'z, Josh Taylor, and Canelo.

They have all came down with either 'Keepmybelt-itis', or Needtokeepmy0-sis.

I'll never understand how they cry about making money but change their career mission to just sitting on their hands.

If you want to be a 'rock star' learn how to sing.

Richardson Hitchins? Make It Happen!

Now Richardson Hitchins, would be an interesting match up between the two, because he appears to have a sturdy chin, can box, and has got some pop.
Unfortunately Barboza, and Russell, are both ranked ahead of Hitchins, so common sense tell's me that they'll be offered the opportunity before Hitchins is.
It was a great fight match up again as usual on your part, but it is what it is, or at the very least that's what it should be, to be fair to the higher ranked fighter's.
Who you got Taylor or Cameron, Haney or Lomachenko, I've got Cameron, and Lomachenko, I can't believe I just changed my pick to Lomachenko.

They got big plans for Hitchins they won’t put him in w Prograis who’s much more mature and experienced, on short notice no less. Unfortunately the same is true of GA Russell. Now Barboza or Sandor would make since but TR isn’t doing Eddie any favors.

Why not? It's a title shot without having to undergo the eliminator process. Does he have a better option?

Paro is stacking up the injuries. He's lost the momentum from his Jarvis victory.

why isn't prograis fighting caterall? Both matchroom. Both excellent fighters. Instead they fight one or two weeks apart against relative nobodies.

Catterall has been out of the ring for far too long. He needs the rounds to get rid of the ring rust. Fighting Prograis straight away wouldn't be the wisest decision.

Is TR that petty though? I'm not sure if Barboza is worth protecting, and they have nothing better to offer.

This is Barboza chance to back up all the talk he had to say about Regis. In Prograis’ words .. what motivation do you need besides WBC belt??? I agree ..

You sound like a blatant racist..

Prograis is not the top dawg in the division.. the true champion is Josh Taylor who beat Prograis..

Prograis always whining and bytchin about money, but Barboza needs to take crumbs to fight him? GTFOH!!

Barboza is with the best promoter for the division and can sit back and wait for his major shot with commiserate pay for the fight.

yeah fair shout that. Guess he's been clinging to the hope of a Taylor rematch to the detriment of his progress.
