Despite an early flash knockdown, Catterall was able to bounce back and with great defense and counterpunching dominated his opponent. Prograis is a one dimensional pressure fighter who struggles against slick boxers. His chin is also questionable after getting dropped by Haney once and twice by Catterall, two fighters with less than average power.
With his two most recent wins, Catterall should be given an opportunity to fight for a world title. The fight that most people want to see is against Teofimo because they want to see the cocky loudmouth Teo lose. Teo has looked bad recently and would be an underdog in this fight so I’m expecting him to avoid this fight as long as possible.

Prograis learned a lot from the Haney fight but Caterral also will see a lot of loopholes on Prograis style,
What he learned in that fight won’t really apply here because Catterall doesn’t have Haney’s speed. Catterall likes to go toe-to-toe, and that’s actually a style Prograis would feel more comfortable with since Catterall is slower. This one’s shaping up to be a technical battle, and I don’t think Prograis will look like he did against Haney at all.It's going to be a tactical battle as both of them could be going toe to toe as it fight more of their style. Prograis though for me might be slowing down a bit in his career. He has been in a lot of wars as well, so maybe that Devin fight, has exposed his wear and tear as it was really surprising that he did go down as Haney is not known to be a power puncher but more of a technical fighter.
So let's see if he has learn his lessons, or if he that kind of boxer that when he is hurt, all strategies are thrown in the window and he goes toe to toe. Unless his corner will always reminds him of their plans and strategy. Again, this fight will really depend on what version of Prograis will show here. If he is what we say already on the sunset, then Catterall might win here. But if he shows that he has that one last fight in him, then maybe he can win by decision.

This one’s shaping up to be a technical battle, and I don’t think Prograis will look like he did against Haney at all.He doesn't have to have the speed of Haney; where else can a boxer scout the weakness of his opponent? Of course, from his losses, there's two ways for a boxer to check the weakness of his opponent through his losses and second from a fighter they both fought.
I mentioned that this is not a fight where one fighter will dominate the others; it will come down to who studied the other guy's weakness better, and it is usually those losses that expose a boxer's weakness.

Everyone seems to be underestimating Regis here, and as per the odds, he is a big underdog. Really don't know what happen to him in the Haney fight, yes he is the underdog but prior to that he has been dominating his opponents with power. But in the Haney fight, it's totally different as he allows Haney to control the distance and the phase of the fight. So I'm thinking that he might have learn his lessons from that fight and will try to give his 100% here so that he will have another chance to win a belt here. So for me he should be considered as a live underdog in this fight and who knows, we've seen strange result lately and underdog winning big.
Prograis learned a lot from the Haney fight but Caterral also will see a lot of loopholes on Prograis style, In boxing, the boxer learned his lesson on his losses but his opponent will also learn from his weakness, The Haney fight is very ugly to the point that Prograis doesn't want to remember the fight and fight fans will not want to see a rematch because on that fight, Prograis was totally dominated.
In boxing, we have a saying

style makes a fight
Both fighters have similar and contrasting styles. This is what will make things interesting; the Caterral style of slugging it out will have an edge if Prograis can't take Catterral punches, power will play a major factor on this fight, who got more power get the fight.

Eddie Hearn says its a 50/50 fight, and I like to believe it is because both fighters want to win this to advance their careers.
I’m more inclined to bet on Jack Catterall in this fight since he’s coming off three consecutive wins after his setback against Josh Taylor in their first fight. Unfortunately, there are no ML odds available yet on my favorite bookies. In my opinion, Regis Prograis is on the decline. He desperately needs this fight, and a win would reestablish him as a contender in this division. One thing I don’t like about him is that he got knocked down in his fight against Devin Haney, who isn’t known as a hard hitter.

Yes, he has a big win against Josh Taylor, but it was too late though, there are no belts as Josh is already done when he fought him. But still a win for Jack and he avenge his lost to him. And it's good that they were able to set him again to be in the contention for the belt against Regis.

The only odds that is attractive in this fight is that if this fight goes to distance. Currently, it's 3.xx. So if Regis try to fight within the distance as he might be very careful here because he doesn't want to be knock down or worst knockout for good, he might just used his jabs to keep Jack at bay.

Is Eddie Hearn promoting either of the fighter? If yes, then obviously, that is his job, to look like in paper this fight is going to be great for boxing fans. But if we look at the odds, Jack is a huge favorite here.
And I do agree that Regis could have been in the decline already, starting with that lost to Devin Haney. Doubt as well that if can make a comeback at 140 weight class has a lot of great fighters already. Unlike before, when him and Josh that are taking this weight class. So here it's possible that Jack aggressiveness might put Regis again in the canvass and be knockout (that could be a great odd).
That’s probably what we’ll see in this fight, especially with the current betting odds pointing that way.Quote
Jack Catterall vs. Regis Prograis Betting Odds
Jack Catterall -400
Regis Prograis +292
Jack Catterall -400

But we'll have to confirm once the odds are up with our go-to bookies, but I’m still thinking Catterall will likely come out as the favorite. Hopefully, he won’t be a heavy favorite, so we can grab some solid odds..

I checked with my bookie, and nothing's out yet. But no worries, we’ve still got time, the fight’s on the 26th, so we’ll have a day to place our bets. I’m sure the odds will be up by then. Kinda odd they haven’t posted them yet, especially since this is a pretty big fight, right?There's the odds i see now,

Will the fight goes to the distance?
yes. 1.28

Here is the highlight of the final press conference: not much heat between the two guys, but they are motivated to come out as the winner. Prograis needs this win very badly, and he admits that. Caterral is looking to have a title shot if he wins against Prograis.

Definitely, Prograis knows what is at stake as this fight, he needs to win badly so that his name will be in the discussion still at 140 lbs. But as I have said, it could Regis last stand here as his era might come to an end. As compare to Jack wherein he was really on the trail to win a big against Josh Taylor and he could be really a champion, unfortunately, the judges take that out from him.
The good thing is that he was able to bounce back and win and beat Josh in the rematch. Prograis is still 3:1 underdog in this fight and it could really shows that somewhat, the odd makers are seeing Prograis just being a gate keeper now after that lost to Devin Haney.

Honestly, he might just spend the rest of his career trying to take Garcia down and squeeze out some cash through lawsuits.
That's a bit much...maybe Haney's just taking a break while waiting for the other boxers to step up so he can get some real competition. Sure, it’s clear he was pretty crushed after losing to Ryan Garcia. But when it later came out that Garcia used illegal substances to win, it just proved Haney was the better fighter. I mean, Ryan had to resort to cheating to get that win. But maybe, if Catterall wins this fight, he’d be a great matchup for Haney. Haney, in my opinion, hasn’t been quite the same since that loss, even though it’s not officially on record.
I don't know if taking those Peds really help Ryan Garcia though. We already know that he is a big puncher and Devin Haney's chin is suspected already and it's just a matter of time before someone can crack it.
For sure he might be just waiting in the sideline to see those boxers fighting each other, but with the way Ryan beat's him, who knows if he still has the mentality to be competitive again at 140 lbs. Just like what we have seen on Tim this weekend, eh face a tough opponent in his comeback and when he was knockdown, he seems to be shock and thinking of the Fundora fight. If Jack Catterall wins here, for sure his stock are going to go up and maybe he will have a chance to fight for the championship belt in the future.

Let's see how Regis will be in this fight, if he lose then I guess he could be in the sunset of his career already.
That's probably what’ll go down. Catterall's been grinding hard to become a champion, and even though this fight isn’t for a title, he really deserves it. He’s had a better career path compared to Prograis, who was a champ before. And as for Haney, just forget about him - he still can't get over his loss to Garcia. Honestly, he might just spend the rest of his career trying to take Garcia down and squeeze out some cash through lawsuits. October 21, 2024, 10:04:02 PM
^^ The landscape at 140 has change already. Devin Haney is no longer a champion (although he was reinstated after Ryan Garcia was suspended for PEDs), Subriel Matias who has been said as one of the most avoided champion has lost to Liam Paro. Same with Pitbull Cruz, against Valenzuela.
And I think Regis Prograis is just a remnant of previous era as his most contemporaries is gone like Josh Taylor and Ramirez. But the good thing is that he will have another fight against a boxer who have been deprived a belt. And maybe the winner could either fight the champion next in the WBC.

Prograis is the more accomplished and overall better fighter. However, his career has stalled since competing in the World Boxing Super Series and he hasn’t reached the level we thought he would. Catterall has the momentum right now and is seen as the favorite to win. Even though Catterall isn’t the most crowd pleasing fighter, he has the technical style that Prograis tends to have problems with.
Catterall is on a 3 fight winning streak, after that bad decision lost he got from Josh Taylor, he had rebounded from that and even defeating Josh in the rematch but there is no belt on the line. Now, Regis Prograis doesn't look good when he lost to Devin Haney and Devin even put him on the canvass, that is odd as Prograis is one of the champion here in this division and fighting former champions Zepeda (win) and Taylor (L).
So I guess this could be his last chance to have his name still in the discussion at 140 lbs. Because it seems that the landscape has change already as there are new champions popping up.

I agree that Caterral has the momentum because of his winning against Josh Taylor and Prograis will be coming off against a humiliating defeat from Haney, there's too much pressure for Prograis to perform better.
Caterral can learn a lot from watching the Haney - Prograis fight, prograis was totally exposed by Haney and if he can capitalize on Prograis' weakness, he has a chance to win the fight. I have Caterall winning by decision; but it will just go up to who wants the fight more.
But if you fancy upset here, seems Prograis has a good chance also to beat Catterall. Looking at the KO percentage of Prograis vs Catterall, Prograis has higher rate. But maybe, it was because his last fight, why he is the underdog in this match. In my opinion, Prograis has the chance to beat Catterall if he is well-prepared for this fight.
