Comments Thread For: Jack Catterall to Face Regis Prograis in All-Southpaw Battle on Aug. 24

What I seen in Regis against Haney is that there are at least 5 to 8 others whom are better than him at 140 and I would give a couple 135 pounders a shot at beating him too! I hope he saves his money because he's on a last leg and I don't believe it's age either, fighters are better and he's been exposed! He can't do anything with someone fast and has good movement and quick hands, he's easy to hit, squares up and feet slow as molasses, but he had a good run so I would go overseas and get paid.

Three consecutive stylistic nightmare fights for Regis. Either his management hates him or he's a masochist.

Prograis isn't being choosey, and that's what I like about him tbh. Even when he was being thoroughly out-boxed by Haney, he kept coming forward and took his loss. He seems like a "pay me and I'm there" type of fighter. I was hoping for Matias/Prograis, but their schedules aren't aligned right now. My hope is that Prograis performs well enough against Gato that MR is encouraged to renew their contract with him.

This is Eddie's Hearns work. Eddie is a fast and loose gambler and he doesn't build fighters long term like the PBC or TR or GB. The way to survive Eddie is to make sure that you have proper management. Ennis will do fine and so will Haney and Joshua because they all have someone that won't let Eddie use them up.

no money in that - his name needs to be built up more

And there's money in washing a stale trial horse like Regis???

Should be a good a scrap. Will determine whether Prograis has anything left to remain competitive at 140.

you ever heard of one step back, 2 steps forward? Or invest a little to gain a lot? It's not like they will lose money on this card - here'll be 10,000 in Manchester based on Prograis name - the casuals know him as the guy who took Taylor to the brink

Hearn is a promoter's promoter - he is all about putting on shows and earning money for boxers and himself - has gotten Ennis off the shelf and fighting in his home city within what? 3 months of signing for him. Prograis has just made retirement money paydays vs Haney and now Catterall

Prograis has always been willing to fight anyone. Wish it had worked out better for him, but that is a good resume he has. Maybe close to the end of his run as a good name, but just imagine what an upset of a red hot Catterall would mean for him....
