Prograis vs Zepeda: Confirmed

That was excellent performance from Prograis, made the proper adjustments right after round 2. Taylor and Prograis are clearly the best of 140. Prograis wasn’t clearly beaten even against Taylor so a rematch is likely gonna happen at some point. I would love to see either a Taylor rematch or against Teofimo.

 

Quality FINISH...

Hit 'em, Hurt 'em, END 'em...

Only Way Regis Gets a RE w/Taylor is @ '47...Had Taylor Beaten Catterall DECISIVELY, He'd Have Already Moved Up by Now, in REED's Opinion...

It's Time for ALL These Guys to Make the Biggest and Best Fights in 2023...REED Gets the CONCEPT of "Tune-Ups" But There's Always the RISK, Especially When the Tune-Up is in Lieu of a Significantly BIGGER Fight...Bud-Avenesyan Instead of Bud-Spence, Tank-Garcia Preceding Tank-King Ry...

In That Vein, the INSTANT Taylor-Catterall is Over, Josh Needs to Make the 'Fimo Fight...Both of Them NEED a Big Fight in 2023...

zepeda's performance was disappointing.....he was getting totally outboxed by prograis but refused to sell out.

prograis's performance was impressive! by round 2, he'd already solved zepeta.

prograis vs. lopez would be very intriguing - prograis's steady pressure and countering vs. lopez's pot-shotting.

 

Teo is really unlikable.

I would be thrilled if Regis beat the shit outta him.

 

Teo really became a diva after the Loma fight.

 

It's truly irritating to look at fighters get again and again getting caught with equal shots again and again once more what combat turned into Zapadas nook looking for the sake of all he needed to do

 

Prograis

 

LMFAOOOOOO!!!!

These guys are dumbasses fighting on/for these novel, startup platforms and promoters, I swear.

 

Wasn't this a purse bid?

He had no control over the situation

 

What the fuck is a MarvNation?

 

I deposited my fight check Monday while I was in LA. Today the bank emailed me saying the check bounced because of insufficient funds. Somebody better find out what’s going on before I click the fuck out

....Said Terence "Bud" Crawford After His Bout with David Avenesyan...



REED

 

Yep...

Some Beverly Hills SUIT Named Dylan Marer Runs a Company Called Legendz Entertainment and Partnered w/a Some Promotion Called MarvNation to Produce the Prograis-Zepeda PPV...

The FACT They Put Zepeda on the "A-Side" of the Promotion Should've Been the 1st CLUE They Didn't Know What the Fuck They were Doing...A Former Manager of King Ry Convinced Marer to Bid on Prograis-Zepeda Apparently, and He Put Up $2.4mil...

PBC Offered Nearly $1.3mil, Prograis' Promoter (Probellum) Offered $1.06mil and Zepeda's Promoter (Zanfer) Offered $1.045mil...

No Prior Fight Experience, No Vested Interest in EITHER Fighter, Nearly DOUBLED the Amount of the 2nd Highest Bidder, Lacked the Foresight to Put the RIGHT Guy on the RIGHT Side of the Poster, Featured What Should've Been a PPV Undercard Bout as the MAINfuckingEVENT, Even Boasted, "This is NOT a One-Off", to the Rightfully SKEPTICAL Boxing Media...

And Now This...

BOUNCED Checks After Your Very 1st Promotion???...Bye Felicia!!!...




REED

 

On the Business Side, Boxing is Very Much a CLOSED Fraternity...

Jay Z Tried, Fiddy Tried, Practically Every Fighter That's Ever Lived Tried, Starting "Whatever the Fuck My Name Is PROMOTIONS"....And a TRILLION Companies Like the One That Promoted Prograis-Zepeda Tried and Got In OVER Their Heads...

You Would THINK They'd Pick the Brains of a Top Rank, PBC, Matchroom, Golden Boy, etc., Maybe INVEST In a Show or 3 of Theirs, In Hopes of LEARNING the Game 1st...But Motherfuckers Aren't PATIENT...Everybody Wants it YESTERDAY, Not TOMORROW...

Boxing's BIGGEST Problem (On the Business End) is Tooooooo Many CHIEFS, Not Even INDIANS...Sometimes INVESTING is Wiser Than OWNING...Sometimes 3%-5% of a Company is Wiser, More Practical Than Possessing 51%...





REED

 

triller basically derailed the career of teofimo lopez with similar fuckery. they are going to have to make sure whoever is bidding on these fights has the means to cover their contracted offers. the sanctioning bodies need to start holding the fighters purses in escrow.

 

Per the Article REED Read, $240k was Placed in Escrow for the Winner, So Prograis Won't Walk Away COMPLETELY Empty Handed, @ Least...The Other $2.16mil was to Be Split 50/50...

Sucks for Both, But Poor Zepeda!!!...

Fought Hard, Absorbed a Somewhat VIOLENT KO Loss & Literally May Not Make a Fucking Dime for It...

How is a "Messy" Bob Arum Video Regarding 2 Non-Top Rank Fighters RELEVANT???...



REED

 

Arum surely wouldn't have any bias toward Crawford

 

If Bud Himself Complained About Not Having FULL Financial PBC Details, What Makes You Think Arum was PRIVY To Them???…






REED

 

Not sure what you're talking about?

The video arum was in he said the blk prime offer is legit. What does pbc have to do with it

 

The Tagline to YOUR Video Specifically States “Spence Will REGRET Being Advised NOT to Take the $25mil from Crawford”…

In the Video, Arum Only Speaks Specifically About Avenesyan Receiving Some Form of Front End Compensation and How He “Heard” Crawford Has, as Well…

You Posted This as if it was Some Type Of Smoking Gun Providing CONCRETE Evidence of Something…All it “Proves” is Arum Still Has NO Problem Speaking on the Financial Affairs of Fighters He Doesn’t Even Promote…





REED

 

The video was in response to your post I quoted where you implied Crawford gets fucked financially in this deal for his fight Saturday

It has arum, Crawfords former promoter, who has no vested interest in the guy, stating he has heard the money behind the promotion is legit. Based on frank Warren, who has avenesyan, telling him he's been paid

Arum said nothing about spence, that's some random dumbfuck on Twitter who posted the video

 

Soooo Arum “Knows a Guy” That “Knows” Avenesyan, Who Confirmed WHAT Exactly??? An ADVANCE???…

What Does “Paid” Mean EXACTLY, Knowing Payment is Never Remitted in FULL Until the Fight’s Over???…Let’s ASSume Bud and Avenesyan BOTH Got Advance Payments; Fuck Does That Have to Do w/a PPV That Most Assuredly Will FLOP???…In a SHIT State Like Nebraska, Where Even College Football AIN’T Popular Anymore, Nonetheless???…

REED Certainly Ain’t WISHING This On Bud, or Avenesyan or ANY Other Man/Woman Brave Enough to Risk Life & Limb to PRIZEFIGHT…But Let’s NOT Pretend This Isn’t RISKY AF Bruh, w/the Stench of Prograis-Zepeda Written All Over It…

Worse Thing ANYONE In Boxing Can Do is Take a “Messy” Bob Arum Comment/Video at Face Value…





REED

 

huh? frank warren promotes avenesyan

and for the record it turns out it was an issue with the bank, and prograis was paid in full.

 

New Promotional Outfit, Bounced Check, “Issue with the Bank”…

Okay…





REED

 

look i was skeptical at first when prograis posted about not getting paid, but everything stated since is on the level. so whats the problem?

 

Yeah, that was a disspointing lost for Prograis
