140 Is LIT REGIS PROGRAIS-MAURICE HOOKER 4/17, JOSH TAYLOR RETURNS 5/2, JOSE RAMIREZ 5/9!

I don't like the prograis fight for hooker

But its another good payday and he will have problems at welter with most top 10 guys there

 

Ramirez isn't fighting until May? Is it Postol?

 

Yes, it was Moved to Fresno...

agREED...

REED Will Root HARD for Reese, Fully Expecting Regis to Stop Him in 5 or 6...




REED

 

Rougarou will end Hooker.

 

Regis will crunch Hooker out of there. Bobby needs to move him up to 147 for the big bucks.

 

Who's bobby?

 

His trainer Bobby Benton. I think Regis beats Shawn Porter right now.

 

I'd pick prograis over porter

Porter seems willing to face non pbc guys but there's not much money in a prograis fight, yet

 

I'd pick Porter. I didn't like Prograis attitude in his fight against Taylor, and it makes me think Porter would out work him

 

agREED...

Josh Taylor Isn't a PHYSICAL Fighter, Necessarily, Yet 1nce He Ramped Up the Physicality on Prograis, it Proved to Be the Difference in the Fight...

Porter's About AS PHYSICAL As it Gets '47 & Lower and Would Win a Competitive Decision Over Prograis...





REED

 

Porter is less skilled/versatile than taylor

 

The Skill/Versatility Disparity Between Taylor and Prograis was NEGLIGIBLE...What WON it for Taylor was His Superior PHYSICALITY...

Porter's More ATHLETIC Than Given Credit for Also...He was MORE Athletic Than Spence, Who is MORE Athletic Than Prograis...Porter and Prograis are Around the Same Height, Yet Porter's the Naturally Bigger, Stronger Man to Boot...

Not Saying Prograis Gets Blown Out or Has NO Chance, but REED Sees it 60-40 in Porter's Favor @ Least...






REED

 

Porter has been criminally underrated his whole career. Id consider it a significant upset if he lose to prograis

 

Hooker looked so much bigger than Prograis! The guy must really drain himself to make 140

 

MAURICE HOOKER 4/17, JOSH TAYLOR RETURNS 5/2, JOSE RAMIREZ 5/9!

I thought these were bookmakers odds and I nearly shit myself trying to get to my account to put money down.

 

I despise Porter, and Prograis is among my favorite current fighters, however... I'd have to go with Porter.

He just took 4 rounds off of Spence, and gave him a rough fight, and Spence is SEVERAL levels better than Regis.

Prograis would be better off going up against Thurman, now that Thurman is well past his prime.

But then again, Thurman is probably retired (as I predicted).

 

I don't know........the Taylor fight was a gruelling affair, are we sure Prograis is going to be as game as he was for Taylor? Could be a distance affair.

Porter should beat Prograis handy. He was a knockdown away from getting something out of the Spence fight.

 

The spence fight was more grueling for porter. He got beatdown and damn near KOd at the end

 

Prograis-Hooker should be a distance affair you mean?

I guess it's always possible, but Hooker is just very fragile, and is coming off getting brutally stopped by Ramirez.

I figure that after Regis warms up, and gets into any kind of groove, he should batter Hooker.

 

Yep. Prograis might ease himself back into things. Tough fight last time out.

I'm no expert, just wondering if there is value in a W12 bet.

 

We'll see, but overall I don't like Porter's style for Progais.

I think Regis matches up better against Cherry Garcia.

 

Garcia can bang a bit though. If he has any timing left he might plant one on Prograis.

Prograis not very thick in the neck or the body, he look "get attable"

 

Did you see Garcia's last fight? He looked like SHIT against Redkach (sp?).

Garcia does very poorly against southpaws. Prograis would have a very good chance of beating him.

 

Garcia is obviously in decline. He wasn't supposed to stop that little Narco Wannabe either ..............but he did.

He's just an underwhelming but strangely capable fighter.

 

Always liked watching Danny Garcia. Really nice, smooth style, good technique, just wasn't very gifted athletically.

 

He wasn't crispy enough. BE MORE CRISPY DANNY.

Also sometimes butts hard to see.

 

Pprter fought Spence so close Spence tried to kill himself after the fight.

 

I agree. He is crafty. And I like how he loads up on counters.
