Regis Prograis: "I've
Climbed
Out Of A Pit For Title Shot" |
|
Regis Prograis says he has
‘clawed his way out of a pit’ to secure another shot at
the world super lightweight title.
The WBC have ordered for Prograis to face Jose Zepeda in
a clash for the vacant crown at 140lbs after Jose
Ramirez pulled out of the fight.
Prograis was the WBA champion in 2019 but says losing
his crown to Josh Taylor, and the subsequent near
three-year wait to secure another world title tilt, has
made him realise he did not “cherish” what he had.

"You're travelling through another dimension, a
dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a
journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that
of imagination - Next stop, the Twilight Zone!"
- Rod Serling
Imagine if you will a promoter, who just happens to be
an eleven-time world champion and Hall of Famer who is
so hell bent on making his second-rate fighter a world
champion that he is willing to use whatever smoke and
mirrors it takes to deceive the masses in order to
attain his lofty goal. Now imagine the promoter’s
motivation is not only money, (of which there is
plenty), but is to fulfill his somewhat egotistical
dreams of giving boxing fans the second coming of
himself. Yes, the next Golden Boy.

By Albert Castillo

From the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Oscar De La
Hoya’s Golden Boy Productions put together a card
featuring extremely popular Ryan “Kingry” Garcia (23-0,
19 KO’s). Garcia did not disappoint knocking out Javier
Fortuna (37-4-1, 26 KO’s) at 20 seconds of the 6th
round. Unfortunately, Fortuna was not the beast he
displayed against JoJo Diaz. He was far less aggressive
and did not pursue Garcia but once during the entire
battle.

Undercard Results From
Los Angeles |
|
By William Trillo
It was a title eliminator in this the battle of
Minimumweights Oscar Collazo (5-0, 3 KO’s) and Victorio
Saludar (21-6, 11 KO’s). Collazo, who has a world class
amateur pedigree was stretched to the limit by a
hardnosed ring veteran in Saludar. In the seventh round
both men hit the deck but each arose and went on to
finish the grueling twelve round scrap. Final scores
read 118-110, and 116-112 x 2 all in favor of Collazo.
On the victory Collazo stated, “It was a tough fight, I
had to use my whole toolbox. My opponent was very strong
and experienced, he's a veteran in the sport. Thanks to
my corner I got in the ring and fought round by round. A
world championship is next, I want to be a champion.”
Featherweight Diego De La Hoya (23-1, 11 KO’s) put the
wood to Enrique Bernache (24-14, 12 KO’s) in this
one-sided attraction. Bernache just did not have the
natural ability to deal with De La Hoya’s charge. Though
he is tough as nails Bernache was brought to a halt by
Diego’s two fisted onslaught at the 2:51 mark of round
4.
“I felt very happy to be back, said Diego De La Hoya. “I
haven't fought in two years so I felt great. My opponent
was tough. I'll probably fight again in September.
Hopefully I will fight for a championship soon.”
Lightweight Miguel Gaona (3-0, 2 KO) opened the show
with a blistering first round KO over Abdiel Padilla
(1-3, 1 KO). Ganoa dropped Padilla right away and then
sealed the deal with a wicked body shot before the first
three minutes commenced.

Vazquez of Fort Worth, Texas was able to figure out
Argel's come-forward style early in the contest as the
Texan started slowing down Argel with body shots with
both hands. Vazquez was equally effective with the
uppercut. Argel continued to attempt to press but that
was to his detriment as he ate shots to his flank and
face from the pinpoint Vazquez.

with a stunning stoppage win over Srisaket Sor Rungvisai
to defend his WBC World Super-Flyweight title on home
soil in San Antonio, Texas, live on DAZN.
‘Bam’ was crowned as the youngest World champion in the
sport in February when he landed the WBC strap as a late
replacement in San Diego against Mexican king Carlos
Cuadras and fighting at home for the first time in four
years, the stiffest of tests was in front of him in the

Canelo vs. GGG – The Threequel
This Time It’s Personal |
|
By William Trillo
The first two fights in this pugilistic series were akin
to cinematic gems. But the question remains if the
threequel will live up to the hype or will this
cliffhanger fall flat at the box office and become a
huge disappointment. With those thoughts as a backdrop
it was only fitting that the Kickoff press conference
for Canelo vs. GGG 3 was held in Hollywood, California.

Better Be Careful
Better Be Objective
Beterbiev Is The Man |

By William Trillo
I am curious how many gambling degenerates lost their
butts Saturday night while making last minute bets on
Joe Smith Jr. after watching ESPN’s extremely slanted
pre-fight hype before the Artur Beterbiev vs. Smith Jr.
Light Heavyweight title unifier. Seriously, it seemed as
if the entire cast and crew of the broadcast team were
ordered to shill for Smith Jr. and say little or nothing
about the undefeated Beterbiev. It was blatant and
annoying.

Star Boxing’s "Rockin’
Fights 42" Results |
|
You never know what will
happen in the fight game. After two featured bouts fell
out only days before the weigh-in and the other at the
weigh-in, Star Boxing resiliently fought on, showing the
tenacity with which has made the company the longest
running, and most consistent promotional company in New
York. Star Boxing still brought the fans an entertaining
and exciting 42nd edition of the critically claimed
“Rockin’ Fights” series at The Paramount in Huntington,
New York on Saturday night (6/11). As they say, the show
goes on, and Star did so admirably without its main
event or co-feature, reshuffling the four bout card and
providing fights that did not disappoint.
