August second at Credit Union 1 Arenain Chicago, IL. Ten rounds scheduled at light welterweight. Co-main event to Duarte vs. Sims live on DAZN. Díaz won a tune-up versus a 6-4-1 novice in June. Otherwise both fighters are winless since 2023. Prograis is 3-5 in his last eight and has dropped two in a row, while Díaz is 3-6-1 in his last ten.
A battle to find out which one is more shot to hell, the loser is taken out back and put out of their misery.
I know we're both going to be rooting like hell for Rougarou, but ...our boy's 36 going on 63. It's encouraging that he dropped Catterall, though...and that JoJo is looking like as as well.
The Rougarou should have enough to beat this ass looking drunken shell of a man, if he can't. They won't need to take him out back, because he might just off himself in the ring.
I'm picking Diaz. It is very weird how FAST Prograis aged from one fight to another going from Zepeda to Zorilla. Didn't even look like the same fighter. The Prograis that fought Haney was a shell of his former self. I can't imagine how bad Prograis is going to age coming into this fight.
Both came in 2 or more lbs heavy. Prograis 142lb, shredded. Díaz 142.2lb, strong looking but soft in the belly.
