Prograis KO's Barrios in the later rounds.
Too much experience , power not too mention his awkward style.

Prograis doesn't sound excited about fighting Barrios. I don't see why? He seems all about fighting Broner! I don't see why?

This would be a good fight. I think maybe 1-2 more fights for barrios and then let them fight.

Probably because that will appeal to more of the casuals and would be a ratings win on FOX

He'll definitely KO Barrios in my opinion. Barrios is a fun fighter to watch, but he gets hit way too much. Regis hits a lot harder than Barrios in my opinion as well. Regis also has that awkward style where he leans off the line and and loops his punches. He'll catch Barrios who's more technical and straightforward in his style. But you never know. That's why they fight the fights.

He keeps saying he wants a title shot, now it's "I want my old title back!" I don't see that happening! I think if Josh Taylor wins, he fights Crawford. I think if Ramirez wins, he fights Teofimo Lopez!

If this is the next fight for both guys then I'd expect a Prograis KO.
