Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis: Jack Catterall's resume can't compare with mine

[champion4ever]

Damn , that's pretty harsh. Did Regis do something to you ? I've met him and his wife a few times and he's a pretty cool guy. Humble , quiet but friendly and a good family man.

I have no doubt he is. My only contention with Regis is his bitter resentment and demeanor towards Devin Haney; Following his defeat in subsequent social media interviews.

He has made a ton of excuses for his loss to Haney and never gave him his proper and just due for defeating him. He even accused him of over rehydrating on fight night.

Moreover, he even went so far as many Haney’s haters do to deflect blame for his loss and Ryan Garcia popping dirty for doping.

To call Devin Haney a cheater and a weight bully. All because he got his asswhupped!

Prograis is most likely to stay at 140 for the rest of his career and no matter how much food he consumes he'll stay at that weight. There are many people like that. He's got a small build unlike Haney who can go as far as Mbilli's weight in just a matter of hours.

Prograis need to not focus on resume and focus on a method by which he can win, to often fighters do comparisons which mean absolutely nothing when faced with upcoming opponents, get over the pass and move forward or get your A_s kicked again!

What in the hell are you talking about Regis, jack beat the fighter that beat you, and I'm not Joshing about that.
You have fought a better caliber of fighters throughout your career, but your resume isn't going to be fighting Jack you are.
Josh was talking **** about Jack before both of their fights, and he got smacked up in both of their bouts.
So whatever you did yesterday doesn't count for anything on the day that you step in the ring with him, your current fighting skills will be the determining factor.
Stop talking about your past accomplishments, and get ready to let your fists do the talking for you in the ring, because that's what counts now.
When you start talking like that it sounds like you're trying to convince yourself that you're the better fighter.
More importantly Jack doesn't give a **** about what you've got to say, and he's going to try to make you eat your words on fight night.

It kind of does sound like Regis is trying to give himself a pep talk (in public) and grow in confidence before the fight. He was reasonably good before the Haney fight and his lone loss at that time was in a close fight for the undisputed title. Unfortunately, his last fight was disappointing so we don't really know where his current level is at. About to find out.

I think he still has wins left in him, but I think now at his age it is a match-up thing. I do not think he can adjust on the fly in the ring anymore, and that is what kept him competitive with everyone. If his style matches up well with who he is fighting, he can win.

Not sure if this is that for him. Catterall is a good one that can adjust.

Haney already showed the blueprint on how to beat Prograis. Rehydrate to middleweight on fight night and Regis would become helpless.

This asshole like all Devin’s haters; Have insinuated that Haney cheated him and was a weight bully. In order to deflect blame from his loss and also for that low-life, scumbag racist piece of shit Ryan Garcia.

Who popped dirty for doping with the banned substance Ostarine in his fight with Devin Haney. All because he is still too sour and sore over getting his asswhooped fair and square by Devin Haney.

In addition, he has never given Devin Haney his just and proper due for whooping his ass. Since that time all he has done was make excuses. If he has; Well now he has walked it all back. That’s what’s up!

First off, lumping together Regis Prograis and Ryan Garcia is utter nonsense, that's not my opinion, it's fact and every fighter on the plant will attest to that. The only thing Regis Prograis and Ryan Garcia have in common is Devin Haney.

Any bitterness against Regis is because Regis disclosed that Devin had massive weight advantage and that'ss ridiculous because Devin did, and everyone noticed it. Devin's weight gains are not only common knowledge, but legendary, and deliberate for the sake of advantage.

Whats not common knowledge is how Devin shrinking down to near physical failure and then miraculously exploded at a rate of nearly 1lb per hour into a middleweight without cheating, and that's a valid question.

As for Ryan Garcia, he's mentally sick and Devin knew that and was perfectly fine because he thought it was easy money, and that's just the honest truth.

I agree Ryan cheated and he's a sick individual but that has nothing to do with Regis Prograis.

The REAL tragedy is that Ryan commands more than Regis and Devin combined in this era of shyty, noncompetitive fights for the sake of entertainment...Ryan fits right in with the other entertainers milking boxing for all it's worth.

You make many salient points to which I agree. You are right. Regis’ loss to Haney and Ryan Garcia’s popping dirty for Ostarine has nothing to do with each other and shouldn’t be lumped together at all.

However, someone forgot to send the memo to Regis Prograis because he continues to claim that Ryan’s doping against Haney was Karma for him getting his ass whooped by Haney. Which is completely absurd.

Why this moron refuses to admit, accept and acknowledge the fact; That Father Time has finally caught up to bite him in his 35 year old ass. I’ll never understand?

That was the real reason why he lost to Devin Haney. It was not the weight bullying or the over rehydrating. Likewise, it was the main reason why he was dropped in his last two previous fights and arguably lost them both as well.

It’s simply because he is a washed up fighter now. Who is well beyond his physical peak and past his prime. Hopefully, once he loses to Catterall; Possibly by TKO.

Then the Haney excuses will end and then perhaps he’ll finally realize just how much of a shopworn fighter he really he is.

Now as far as Haney’s weight gain and over rehydration is concerned; That is something that should be addressed by the governing bodies if it’s illegal and against the rules.

Yes, like you; I have heard about the rumors of the heavy weight gains on fight night too. If they are true, against the rules and not legal. Then he should be disciplined.

In some cases, it may be looked upon as simply bending the rules. While in other cases he may be breaking them. If the jurisdiction has rehydration stipulations.

I am not saying that it is either right or wrong. However, same day weigh ins are not mandatory in most jurisdictions.

They are totally voluntary unless there’s a rehydration clause. In any case, if there is anything I do not like in competition is gamesmanship and outright cheating.

I agree Regis lost because he's on the down side, he simply couldn't land and that had nothing to do with size. That said, 1lb per hour is psychically impossible, and even if it wasn't, Devin was getting caught all night by the same left hook and never made an adjustment and that has nothing to do with size.

You are right Haney was getting clipped by Ryan’s left hook all night but why? What makes this fight so eerily suspicious.Is that while being known for his defensive prowess.

We have never seen that happen to Devin Haney before. Which in my judgement raises several red flags.

If Haney was able to slip all of his other opponents left hooks and punches; Then why was it so difficult and
his reaction time just so happened to be a split second slower than usual against Ryan Garcia?

The reason why was because of those SARMS Ryan took; That Ostarine. It helped boost and enhance his performance. He was faster, more accurate, had greater hand to eye coordination and much better reflexes than usual.

How many punches did Haney ever land on Ryan? Hardly none. He was evading punches from Devin better than he had against any of his previous opponents; Which also Includes his bout with Oscar Duarte.

I am not saying you are but most boxing fans knew Ryan Garcia cheated and was hopped up on illegal banned substances in order to defeat Haney but they simply don’t care because the black guy lost this time.
