    Anyone else watching this shit show? Any chance Prograis had for a possible big money fight went away tonight.

    Literal hometown decision. Regis shouldn't be proud of this one.

    I thought Zorilla won. Prograis didn’t look to be at his best, though. He probably needs a change in his career.

    I think that knockdown that wasn't counted shook him. He seemed uncomfortable after that and never could get it together.

    Regis struggled with a journeyman? Damn. That doesn't bode well for his chances against Teo.

    Regis is 35. Dude ain't exactly a spring chicken.

    If Prograis-Taylor II happens, its possible neither guy can fight up to the level they showed 4 years ago.

    I think the outcome was mostly about Zorrilla's movement and refusal to exchange.

    It does highlight a Regis weakness though. He's not that quick on his feet, never has been.

    He needs Ramirez, as Ramirez will be there for him to hit.

    Yeah, crazy to think he's that old. Seems like he'll be another guy who basically wasted his career unfortunately.

    I wouldn't call Regis' career a waste. He was just always viewed as a high risk/low reward guy. He could have had a high-profile win on ESPN years ago, but that pussy Ramirez shamelessly ducked him.

    I think Prograis was overrated all along.

    Overrated by whom though? I don't see Regis on any P4P lists. Personally, even when he was at his peak, I said point blank that a guy like Crawford would smash him. I did pick him to beat Josh, but that was a razor close fight, and overall, I see Regis and Josh as being on the exact same level as fighters. Both are good, but not great fighters.

    I think Prograis was/is arguably a lower p4p guy (anywhere between 10 and 12) but yeah, I don't recall anyone praising him as the second coming.

    Dull boring fight. Wasn’t impressed with Prograis at all but I get that he’s already 34. If Teo does stick around he has a shot against Prograis.

    Teo is the favorite over Regis if he fights to his full capabilities.
