Catterall returns to the ring recent off his finest victory of his profession. Regis misplaced to Devin Haney by a transparent unanimous choice late final 12 months.

Driving excessive after getting revenge on Josh Taylor, Jack Catterall is the favourite heading into this battle on Saturday evening. Catterall outpointed and owned the within, defeating former lineal champion Josh Taylor. Jack made leaps and bounds of enchancment from their first assembly in 2022. In fact, it should be talked about that Josh Taylor was not in his prime. This isn’t taking credit score from Jack, simply stating a reality.
Talking of fighters of their prime, we should ask how a lot Regis Prograis has left in his tank. Shedding to an unbeaten Devin Haney is nothing to be ashamed of, plus his fashion didn’t appear to mix properly in that individual matchup. Possibly it was fashion, or perhaps it’s Regis on the downslide. To be trustworthy, Prograis had a horrible outing versus Danielito Zorrilla within the battle earlier than Haney. Prograis knocking out Jose Zepeda was spectacular. That stated Zepeda wasn’t the identical boxer after his warfare with Ivan Baranchyk.
Regis should get down soiled at instances on the within and use his free hand in the course of the clinch. Very similar to Josh Taylor, Catterall could have loads of success when the motion takes place at shut quarters. Prograis will even have to harm Jack within the early to mid-rounds. If not early, then a knockdown could also be wanted, assuming the battle is shut, being a customer throughout the pond. The craftiness of Catterall and the very fact he’s nearer to his prime makes this boxing podcaster lean in direction of Jack because the winner. Inserting a guess on the underdog with Regis sitting wherever from +265 to +350 remains to be good, given Prograis’s expertise and energy.
My Official Prediction is Jack Catterall by Majority-Resolution.
