Boxing Tonight: Catterall Vs. Prograis Live Results

Light welterweights Jack Catterall and Regis Prograis meet tonight in a 50-50 clash at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England. The two 140-lb contenders are headlining live on DAZN, with the event starting at 2:00 p.m. ET.

Live results and updates on the DAZN broadcast are shown below.

– In a competitive rematch, light welterweight Jimmy Flint (15-2-2, 3 KOs) beat  Campbell Hatton (14-2, 5 KOs) by an action-packed ten-round unanimous decision. Flint landed the cleaner, harder punches against the 23-year-old Hatton to win by 97-94, 96-94, and 96-95.

Hatton had his moments early on, connecting with some nice shots to the head and body of Flint. However, Hatton faded by the sixth round, losing much of the power he had on his punches, and dominated down the stretch by Flint.

Hatton fought well in brief spurts in rounds seven through nine, but he wasn’t able to sustain anything. He tried to fight Flint on the inside, but he wasn’t effective. Surprisingly, it was the taller Flint who landed the harder shots on the inside, catching Hatton with uppercuts.

– Two-time Olympian Pat McCormack (6-0, 4 KOs) defeated Williams Herrera (16-4, 7 KOs) by a ten-round unanimous decision in a welterweight contest. The judges’ scores were 100-90, 100-90, and 100-90.

The 29-year-old McCormack was coming off a long layoff and looked impressive early, landing precise shots at will against the smaller, weaker Argentinian Herrera.

There was almost nothing comparing back from Herrera through the first six rounds, and it was surprising that his corner didn’t pull him out because he was getting hit at will.

In the seventh round, McCormack began showing signs of fatigue and started getting hit a lot by Herrera. Seeing that McCormack was beginning to wilt, Herrera was like a shark, going after the tired and weak McCormack and hitting him with nice head and body shots that put the Brit on the run.

McCormack was cut over his left eye in round nine from an accidental clash of heads. The blood got worse as Herrera targeted the area and had the cut bleeding everywhere.

McCormack looked exhausted and in distress in rounds nine and ten from the sudden surge of pressure from Herrera. In the last ten seconds, Herrera unloaded with a storm of shots that made McCormack look uncomfortable.

The performance by McCormack showed that he won’t make a dent in the pro level against world-level fighters. He’ll have to be matched at the British level to keep him from losing. He’s not young at 29, so there’s no chance of him improving. He is what he is. An old welterweight prospect who doesn’t have much upside.

Prograis (29-2, 24 KOs) needs a win to get a shot at becoming a three-time world champion at 140. He’s been through tough times recently, suffering a loss against a finesse-level fighter last December and struggling with a similar one.

Catterall (29-1, 13 KOs) is a hard-luck story, a fighter that many believe should have been a world champion in 2022, but was beaten. He’s brought himself back to the precipice of fighting for another world title if he’s victorious tonight against the 35-year-old Prograis.

A defeat against the American Prograis would sink Catterall’s chances of becoming a world champion, perhaps permanently. There are other contenders with much more power, speed, and skills than him rising up the ranks. This might be Catterall’s only chance before he’s doomed to a permanent domestic-level existence.
