22:54:26
PROGRAIS TO BARE KNUCKLE?
After dropping this unanimous choice, Regis Prograis confirms that he would possibly retire from boxing now – and do some naked knuckle as a substitute!
“Listen, Jack was just better,” Prograis stated. “That’s all. I felt like he was the higher man. I’ve fought most of them and I believe Jack might be the highest by far. I had my time within the solar and it’s time to show it over to him now. I’ll offer you suggestions and discuss to you later.
“Now it might be time to go to bare knuckle or something like that. I’ll talk to my team now but I think that 12 rounders might be too much for me now. I felt my knee and my ankle. For now, I’ll do something else.”
22:49:23
CATTERALL SPEAKS
He stated: “I’m happy. It was a giant event for me, a giant occasion and an amazing fighter in Regis. He got here tonight and gave me a hell of a combat so I’m happy with that. We had a cagey couple of rounds and I felt his energy. Jamie stated I used to be beginning to slip behind so I got here again into it and scored the 2 knockdowns after which went from there.
“We needed to keep disciplined, we are able to’t be taking too many dangers after that sturdy spherical. You’ll be able to’t go reckless in there in opposition to somebody like Regis.
“I would love to come back to the Co-op and fight and I know there are plenty of big fights in this division. I want a world title next.”
22:47:11
JACK CATTERALL UD!
All three judges have Jack Catterall a large winner on the Co-op Live Enviornment. The scorecards learn 117-108 and 116-109 twice which Prograis would possibly really feel a bit aggrieved by however he applauds it anyway. A affected person, mature efficiency from Catterall who can now stay up for a world title shot in 2025.
22:43:24
BACK TO THOSE PESKY SCORECARDS
Prograis is clearly troubled by an harm to his proper foot within the ultimate spherical so he can’t fairly empty the tank like he may need appreciated to. As an alternative, Catterall is ready to coast his option to the ultimate bell and absolutely to a factors win right here. We await the choice.
22:41:38
SWING AND A MISS…
Prograis swings and misses so onerous with the left hand he finally ends up face down on the canvas. You don’t see that a lot lately.
22:39:43
GOOD ROUND FOR CATT
The eleventh is an effective one for Catterall, who has gave the impression to be in management for a lot of the second half of this combat. Prograis continues to be there although – and there may be yet one more to go…
22:37:13
THE TURNING POINT?
22:35:36
TWO LEFT
After his two knockdowns within the ninth, Catterall doesn’t precisely bounce on Prograis within the tenth. They each land huge left fingers on one another in centre ring however neither goes down this time. There are two left, and also you get the sense that Catterall is forward however there may be not a lot in it.
22:30:55
DOWN GOES PROGRAIS…TWICE!
With a minute left within the ninth, Catterall crashes dwelling an enormous left hand which sends Prograis down closely. The Rougarou climbs to his ft and appears to have made it to the top of the spherical with none additional hassle, however then Catterall will get to him once more with solely seconds left of the ninth to attain a second knockdown. Now can Catterall discover a end in spherical 10?
22:27:25
THE FINAL THIRD
Each males find yourself on the canvas within the eighth as they physique slam one another onto the canvas. It was an in any other case strong spherical for Catterall, who wanted it. There are occasions right here the place Prograis is actually chasing Catterall across the ring, however the two-time world champion is struggling to land something of be aware.
22:23:12
PROGRAIS CUT
A small lower opens up simply over the suitable eye of Regis Prograis after a conflict of heads between the 2 southpaws and Prograis can’t assist himself from touching it all through the remainder of the seventh. However his nook do a very good job of it within the break and ship him out for spherical eight.
22:21:17
SIX DOWN, SIX TO GO
22:19:17
PROGRAIS VIBING
Clearly buoyed by that knockdown within the fifth, Prograis begins to search out his rhythm within the sixth. He’s probably not touchdown a lot, and there are solely small pockets of motion, however the New Orleans native is having fun with himself, dancing round and shaking his head. Into the second half of the combat we go, with the customer most likely edging it to date due to that knockdown.
22:15:21
CATTERALL DOWN! (KIND OF)
With lower than 30 seconds left of the fifth, Prograis lands with a tough jab as Catterall strikes in, which causes the house fighter to landing briefly together with his gloves and referee John Latham offers him a depend. How pivotal might that be?
22:13:36
SOME STATS…
In response to whoever it’s who works this stuff out, Catterall has landed 18 punches within the first 4 rounds, whereas Prograis has landed 16. I believe that claims all of it.
22:11:20
NOT A CLASSIC
After all of the enjoyable of Flint-Hatton 2, this one is but to catch hearth, and even start to smoke. The fourth spherical passes with little to report, however Catterall does land one other left hand late on which could simply be sufficient for him to say the spherical given how little motion there was.
22:07:27
CATTERALL’S TURN
After transport one himself, it’s now Catterall who lands a giant left hand proper on the finish of the spherical. The Chorley man simply waited and waited for Prograis to overshoot his jab after which uncorked a giant again hand on the counter. Prograis was buzzed however took it nicely. Into 4 we go…
22:03:27
PROGRAIS LANDS ON THE BELL
After mainly nothing occurs within the second spherical, Prograis will get via with a left hand proper on the bell, though it doesn’t appear to have an effect on Catterall in any respect. There may be numerous Prograis chasing Catterall spherical however not fairly managing to shut the hole or lower the ring off.
21:59:17
ONE DOWN
As anticipated, this one shouldn’t be precisely Hagler-Hearns as the 2 southpaws each try and work themselves a gap. Neither of them handle it, though Prograis did try – and fail – to land a few left fingers excessive. Little or no to decide on between them in that cagey first, into the second we go.
21:50:39

HATTON CUT
Hatton seems to be lower fairly badly across the left eye and it’s bleeding closely all through the second spherical.

ALL-ACTION ROUND ONE
Hatton is clearly aggressive and attempting to impress in an entertaining first spherical however Flint picks him off with clear pictures to each head and physique.
