Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis considering retirement after defeat by Jack Catterall

[Oldskoolg]

I was at his fight against Joel Diaz Jr. in 2017. Regis looked like a beast that night. As it turns out, Diaz was never all that. I was always a big Prograis guy but he never achieved the status that I expected. More like a B or B+ guy. He did win some titles but the belts have lost their luster over the years. Much easier to be a "champ" now than years ago. I wish him well. Hopefully he hangs up the gloves.

Good post. Clearly he was never p4p level and in past eras he would t have won a title but his rate of decay appears to be extraordinarily high and gaining speed

Despite Prograis looking incredibly shopworn with diminished punch resistance, he still managed to win rounds and land on Cartterall.

Exactly. Hearn trying to sell Catteral as if he was Sweet P. Whitaker. It's just a matter of time before he gets his lights turned off.

It's time for him to ride off into the sunset. He did good for himself and his family. Go enjoy it now.

You just described Matias, not Catterall. Cat is a back-foot fighter, while Matias will look to engage. The match-ups are completely different.

Sure, the opponent will be different, Prograis will still be THE SAME, if not worse.

I simply think the match-up will be entertaining and competitive. Matias/Prograis would be an asset to any undercard.
