Catterall is taking a shotgun method to calling out completely different fighters after his win over Prograis. The thought is that if Catterall calls out sufficient of them, at the least one will lastly settle for the struggle.
Haney took to social media instantly after the struggle on Saturday evening to bash Prograis for his loss, saying that he had “ruined” him from his one-sided twelve-round unanimous choice final 12 months on December ninth.
The previous two-division world champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) doesn’t have an opponent picked out for his subsequent struggle, and he nonetheless hasn’t fought since dropping to Ryan Garcia on April twentieth.
Prograis had praised Catterall through the post-fight interview within the ring, telling DAZN that he was the “finest” fighter he’d ever fought, which Haney clearly took difficulty with.
Apparently, Haney didn’t point out desirous to struggle Catterall in order that he might present the boxing world that he’s a greater fighter than him.
It could be a wonderful struggle as a result of it’s one which Haney wouldn’t have to fret in regards to the energy of Catterall as a result of he can’t punch. The primary of Catterall’s two knockdowns in spherical 9 resulted from Prograis speeding into the punch and never seeing it coming.
Haney wouldn’t have to fret about getting overpowered like he was in opposition to Ryan as a result of Catterall isn’t aggressive or highly effective. As we noticed tonight, Catterall lacks the killer intuition to complete an opponent when he’s received them damage.
He ought to have gone after Prograis within the tenth and eleventh rounds to complete the job, however he regarded like he was afraid. That concern that Catterall has will flip round and chew him within the bottom when he fights somebody good, like IBF mild welterweight champion. Liam Paro. The Australian is an aggressive fighter and can assault him nonstop along with his energy punches.
