    Regis always has represented what I like best about boxing. I don't see him beating Cateral and it is up to Rugorou to prove us wrong. War Regis!

      Regis is currently the best gatekeeper on the market.

        Yes, he’s done. At age 35; He is now a ruined fighter. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack Catterall stops him in their bout. Then perhaps the Haney excuses will come to an end.

          Where you getting these bulbs from? Mine get gradually dimmer and begin to flicker before dying completely...

            In Prograis last two fights, his timing was off, unlike so many other fights which were because he was still in his prime. But not being able to pull the trigger at the right time is the definition of a past-prime fighter. And Caterall is a slick fighter. I like both fighters but I hope Prograis has something left.

              You are a gentleman and a scholar, well said.

                It has been almost two years since he looked good, so it is up to him to prove us all wrong. Somehow I think it will end up being just talk, once again. When I look at his record, it is kind of like Wilder - he KOs nobodies but once he steps it up and fights a top 5 fighter or a champion, he looses. Perhaps he was never that good in the first place.

                  It's not that he lost to Haney, it's the way he lost, and the way he looked against Zorrilla. He's just too small to fight pure boxers who move. He does fine against brawlers on the inside, but that's it. Catteral is all wrong for him. He took this fight to beef up retirement fund. He's done after.
