Jose Zepeda vs Regis Prograis
Scott Christ (82-35)
This is a great matchup I’m excited to watch, and I think it could be a damn good fight. Prograis is faster, more explosive, probably the purely harder puncher, and I think has a dynamic quality to his game that will give him a real edge. But Zepeda can also counter-punch quite well, and he’s far from a light puncher himself. Prograis doesn’t avoid taking risks when he throws his hands, and as much as he may be right that Zepeda — who has good wins and high-level experience — hasn’t seen anyone quite like him, it’s also been three years since Prograis was in the ring with someone who had anything approaching a realistic chance of beating him.

In short, Zepeda’s a lot better than Juan Heraldez, Ivan Redkach, and Tyrone McKenna. Prograis basically wasted his early 30s in a sport that generally starts asking new questions of its combatants in that age period. I’m going with Prograis, and I’m confident in that pick, but Zepeda is a live dog here. Prograis UD-12

Wil Esco (94-23)
In all honesty, I haven’t been the biggest supporter of Jose Zepeda. He’s proven to be plenty solid, but there’s nothing about him that really stands out to me, which is why I’ve wrongly picked against him a few times. Be that as it may, I’m still going to pick against him here against Regis Prograis. Prograis will bring a blend of speed, power, and athleticism that I don’t think Zepeda is going to be able to overcome, and that’s going to be the difference in the fight as far as I see it. I don’t think, however, that Prograis is really going to run away with this fight.

Prograis’ relative inactivity combined with some less than stellar opposition as of late is going to make him vulnerable and I do think we’ll get some tough exchanges that’ll make for fun viewing. I just think once we come down to the second half of the fight Prograis is going to find more of a groove to be able to accumulate more points than Zepeda. Both fighters come out of this one marked up, but I see Prograis having his hand raised when it’s all said and done. Prograis UD-12

John Hansen (93-24)
Yes, I’m picking Regis Prograis. And, yes, I’m 100% serious every month when I count him among the ten best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

Ranking Prograis in the back end of a P4P list wasn’t particularly controversial before he lost a majority decision to Josh Taylor. I don’t disagree that Taylor deserved that win, but the margin between the two was vanishingly thin. I’m also not a big advocate for the philosophy of “Who looks like they lost the fight?” But, Taylor is lucky the ringside doctor didn’t hit him with an EpiPen. Prograis may have lost very narrowly, but he battered Taylor’s eye so badly it ended up looking like a diseased anus gone supernova.

Taylor went on to undisputed status and near universal P4P acclaim, until he hung around 140 lbs at least one fight too long. Prograis, on the other hand, has struggled to land high profile fights, and spent the last three years disputing the adage that absence (from the spotlight) makes the boxing fan’s heart grow fonder.

Zepeda is a warrior, and I think he and Prograis are almost ideally matched to bring out the best in each other. We’re almost certainly in for beginning-to-end savvy boxing with frequent outbursts of two-way brutality. If Prograis has lost anything since 2019, Zepeda can and will make him suffer for it.

I obviously think Prograis still has it, though. And, with all love and respect to the editor that’s called me a “performance artist” and the readership that’s called me worse… This Thanksgiving weekend, I encourage everyone to open your hearts and let yourselves fall in love with Rougarou all over again. Prograis UD-12

Patrick Stumberg (96-21)
Watching tape for this pick made the last few years of Prograis’ career all the more frustrating. He is a genuinely gifted fighter, not just in his speed and power but in his awareness of incoming fire and creativity with his combination punching. He should have stayed right in the thick of things after that fight with Taylor, not fought once per year against the likes of Ivan Redkach and Tyrone McKenna.

At least this should rectify things.

Not to say that Zepeda doesn’t have a chance, of course; his technique, mettle, and power are beyond reproach at this point. Between Prograis’ physical advantages, track record against southpaws, and far superior consistency, though, I have to lean his way. Superior defense and power shots carry him to victory in a nip-and-tuck skirmish. Prograis UD-12 fgdgftyrtyada
