DLH can spout his drivel all he wants but Derevyanchenko is way past his sell by date and is 38 this year (Halloween 2023).
Munguia may only be 26 but he's been boxing as a pro for 10 years now and he's had 41 fights, he should have fought a few of the top 5 fighters (at 160 or 168) by now.
I simply don't believe that those guiding Munguia are really trying to make fights with those at the top of those divisions.
nice Ali program! One of the saddest events in boxing history (saying a lot), but a great artifact!
Re: the Matchroom/Prograis relationship, it stinks that TR didn't land him considering the wealth of potential matchups there, but if I wanna look at the glass as half full, which I know is tantamount to sacrilege in our fine sport, I'd point out that Eddie also has Catterall who deserves a title fight after his robbery vs Taylor, and DAZN may eventually push some GBP cooperation for some crossing of the street fights vs Ryan Garcia a few fights down the road, or even if Regis moves to 147 vs Vergil Ortiz, etc.
Hopefully this isn't just more time wasted in Regis' curious career.
I agree - this seems like a much better decision for Regis but when you consider that Matchroom probably only has one top 140lber in Jack Catterall maybe it could end up being another dead end for Regis.
As you say there may be the possibilities of Garcia or Ortiz Jr but what happens if they don’t happen?
I’m not confident that Top Rank would cooperate to make a Taylor vs Prograis rematch or a Ramirez vs Prograis fight - Arum clearly thinks Regis is too dangerous.
So the road ahead still appears difficult for Regis - at least in the mid to long term.
