    Huge mismatch. Rougarou within six.

    I'd rather see Prograis face Teofimo or a rematch with Josh Taylor.

    The Teo fight would be interesting. Teo hasn't looked very impressive his last few fights. If he isn't all there against Regis, he will be knocked out. But, If he comes in 100%, we have a great fight on our hands.

    He hasn't been the same fighter. Teo is all talent but mentally fragile. He's not the kind of fighter to be able to adjust when things aren't going his way. I think Regis would be all wrong for him.

    You believe Regis would be wrong if Teo came in focused as he was for the Loma fight?

    Teo had the size advantage over Loma and made him gunshy early on. It won't be the same if he were to face Prograis. I agree that it would be interesting if Teo was sharp and focused but stylistically speaking I think Prograis is a nightmare for him.

    Taylor has to get past Catterall first. It's a tough fight for him, let's see if he can make the adjustments.

    Regis is the maddest fighter today. Move up if you can’t get fights, right? Isn’t that what people always say?

    Agree. Teo seems lost if his opponent doesn't cooperate and he needs to use a different game plan.

    I want to see Prograis with two guys this year: Lopez and Russell. Both of them needs to be humbled

    Teo already made up a lie about Regis being banned from the US lol
    Taylor's more than likely going up to 147. Blame Ramirez for openly ducking.

    Prograis might not be able to get big fights at 147 tho, he would be a high risk, (relatively) low reward opponent for the top contenders at 147.

    He might as well stick around at 140 and pick up the WBA belt from Puello, maybe try and unify the WBO as well against the Taylor-Catterall 2 winner, and get a decent payday defending against Teofimo.

    I don’t know. He’s a unproven at 147 at the age of 33. It’s not like time is on his side. I can’t see him being a threat to any of the top guys there. The way he’s looking at Ryan Garcia is how the top guys at 147 are looking at him. It’s an easy payday for them.

    Easy win for Prograis. Puello was lucky with his robbery win over Akhmedov. Prograis is even better and will not wait for the judges.
