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

[Bronx2245]

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.

This is a voluntary defense, so Prograis can choose his opponent. They did that because TR was freezing Prograis out. I rarely watch the women fight, unless it's Serrano! I'm rockling with Devin Haney!

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.

GA Russell should be able to take this fight! He's been out the ring since July 2022! He's going the route of his brother, and that's ******! He also turned down Puello for a shot at the WBA title! Big fan of Russell, but he's FKN UP AT LIGHT SPEED!

We'll see...........

Top Rank is gonna perceive this as sacrificing one of their pawns to Matchroom. However, Barboza has been pro for 10 years and this is his FIRST title shot. TR did not win the purse-bid for the Paro fight, and Barboza declined it instead. The universe is gifting him a better opportunity, and Barboza needs all the leverage he can get. Barboza needs to stop waiting for Teofimo, and get proactive. Barboza's manager can't complain about not getting big fights, and then find a way to decline a Prograis fight.

Amanda Serrano, is fighting Heather Hardy next on 8/5/2023. The first time they fought Hardy came up dirty for steroid's, and still lost to Serrano.

That's just terrible new's, Paro would've been a good fight he's undefeated, and can punch.
They're mentioning Barboza, how is undefeated, highly ranked, can box, but doesn't have any punching power.
Which lead's me to believe that he would be beat down by Prograis sometime between the middle to late round's.
