    That's a really risky fight for both guys. Especially Catterall, who really should be getting a title shot next.

        Makes dollars and cents for both. It's a relevant fight and 50/50 fight.

          Catterall will be big favourite. Regis is nothing like the man he was in 2020.

            I've always maintained that Prograis and Taylor were wildly overrated. Catterall gains nothing from washing Regis. Shouldn't he be fighting Hitchins or Lemus instead?

              Regis is being brought over to the UK to make Catterall look good. I hope he has one last good performance left in him to upset the apple cart, but I doubt it. He seems done.

                This is poor match making for Prograis, imo. This will be 3 straight-up boxers he will have faced in a row (Zorilla, Haney) and he looked terrible against the first two. I like Regis, but I don't like his chances in this one. The match making reminds me of Kambosos, who looked terrible against Haney twice and then they put him in next with Hughes and then Loma.

                  Kambosos was basically just cashing out after the Lopez win anyway. He wasn't supposed to beat Mickey Bey in the US, then he wasn't supposed to beat Lee Selby in the UK, then he sure as hell wasn't supposed to beat Teofimo Lopez. He's a B- fighter that somehow won 3 fights in a row on the road against better opponents and became the unified, lineal champion of the world. Everything after that in his career is just gravy.

                    surrendering the WBC 140-pound title he had won via unconvincing split decision against Danieleto Zorrilla six months before.​
                    He won it against Zepeda.
