Regis Prograis Reflects on FOTY Bouts with Taylor and Diaz

“There were two great fights,” Prograis told BoxingScene. “It [the Taylor fight] was just a different stage in my career. I felt that that Josh Taylor fight was a little hard. I mean, that was, I think that was a little harder of a fight because of his size and I think he was a better boxer. I mean, with Jojo, it was like, I just felt like I boxed him real easy, but that’s what my coach said. Like, ‘just stay on the outside, just box him easy.’ But I like to fight. That’s what I like to do. Even the same thing with Josh Taylor. I was outboxing him real easy, but then I just wanted to get on the inside. I don’t know why I want to feel the punches. I want to fight, but I didn’t have to do that. I made the fight closer than what it should have been but it was the same type of fight, kind of going back and forth. But I felt like with Jojo, I really outboxed him a lot easier than I did with Josh Taylor.”
