Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis Destroys Julius Indongo in Two Rounds

[Tha Kid]

Gamboa had had one fight at 130 for an interim title I believe and then he had one fight at 135 before Crawford but he was obviously undersized at the weight.

Plus a right hand had Crawford doing the stanky leg 😂😂😂

Seriously what was JI's strategy? He was all over the place and fought like he was Prograis's height. Really bad approach but I don't wanna take away from Prograis's victory. He's a solid contender at 140.

I don't think he has proven it at all. Dude was 160, and took him longer to put away Indongo than this prospect did. First, Bud has had a major weight advantage in all his fights. Canelo size difference. Literally, putting on 20 pounds from the weigh in.

Second, who the hell has Bud fought that justifies a ranking on the p4p list? Indongo? Postol? Gamboa? Get out of here. Bud has fought no elite opponent EVER. That is an undeniable fact. Making lower divisions that are incredibly weak while young, doesn't make one great. AB did it too. He got put on the p4p rankings too. Then he fought a top opponent for the first time in Maidana. Then the second time he fought a top opponent was Porter. The third time he did was Mikey.

Beating Brook in his hometown, by breaking his face and then humiliating and emasculating Peterson like Spence did is worthy of a higher ranking than a guy the same size whose best win is Postol or Indongo. In fact, Thurman is probably smaller than Bud and I would place him above Crawford also, as Porter and DSG are more impressive than Postol and Indongo.

Bud might be a top p4p fighter. So might Prograis. I'm saying no one is the #1 or #2 p4p fighter for beating a bum like Indongo. Fighters should have to earn their spot on p4p rankings. Bud's p4p spot has been bought and paid for by TR, not from his resume.

Absolutely. Anyone who's best win is against Postol cannot be p4p no.1, not even close.

As you pointed out, Spence has a better win than anything Crawford has. Crawford might be an elite fighter and he cleaned out a (weak) division, but he's yet to prove anything against true top level fighters because he hasn't faced one.

Should be an easy fight to make Mikey Garcia va prograis they both fight on Showtime but watch how fast Mikey Garcia runs from Prograis. I suspect Mikey will fight Easter Jr next and then the next easiest champion available

easter jr is not very good. garcia walks rite thru him. not a worthy opponent.

504 boy is makin noise. Has a few things to work on (moving his head more, not squaring up so much and not smothering himself) but so far so good. Still raw but his style of fighting and his swag make him fun to watch.

I thought Prograis might have a problem getting in range but he proved me wrong. He has power but I don't think he's ready for someone like Mikey. He's stiff and severe defense lapses. He can make some noise in the division though.

Just finished watching

Props to Prograis doing what I expected him to do but even easier can’t wait for him to fight the winner of Iman / Rodriguez

I think this ends the discussion of Indongo being a good win for Bud l. He looked like absolute sh.it

Like I said Indongo was just at the right place right time for his straps and isn’t good and Buds run at 140 isn’t good at all , the division was the worst in the sport when he fought in it ( good timing by TR)

[kidbazooka]

Regis is a beast one of the best at 140 already.

Prograis just looked better against Indongo than Crawford did. Literally. Indongo is quite possibly the toughest opponent Bud has ever fought, and this prospect hurt Indongo with every punch he landed. Either move Bud out of the p4p rankings, or put Prograis right beside him. This Prograis was before tonight considered a prospect. And he just beat Bud's toughest opponent. That says a lot about how weak of competition Bud has had to face to be considered p4p. Haymon doesn't pay the journalists, Arum do.

Bud always, always said Indongo was his easiest fight, always.

ive been ****ing this drum for years that these guys that crawfords been beating are no good. people were moving crawford to p4p number 1 after beating indongo, and then a prospect just goes in there and demolishes him in the same way.
