Richardson Hitchins reacted angrily to Jack Catterall posting a message on social media to IBF gentle welterweight champion Liam Paro tonight, telling him, “See you quickly.” Hitchins (18-0, 7 KOs) posted a reply to Catterall (30-1, 13 KOs), saying he might wager his purse that he gained’t be dealing with Paro subsequent for the IBF belt.
Hitchins is difficult Paro for his IBF title on December seventh on the Roberto Clemente Coliseo in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Brooklyn, New York native Hitchins is assured that he’ll defeat the Aussie Paro to seize his IBF title. So, as an alternative of Catterall dealing with Paro, it’ll be him that he faces for the belt.
It’s comprehensible why Hitchins can be upset at Catterall assuming that Paro will win that struggle as a result of the 2 fighters are in a 50-50 sort of struggle, and it’s virtually inconceivable to select a winner.
Catterall put himself able to struggle for the winner of the Paro vs. Hitchins struggle by defeating former WBA and WBC gentle welterweight champion Regis Prograis by a 12-round unanimous determination on Saturday night time in a Matchroom Boxing-promoted occasion on the Co-op Dwell Enviornment in Manchester, England.
Catterall fought defensively via a lot of the struggle apart from a giant spherical 9 by which he dropped the 35-year-old Prograis twice. Prograis didn’t a lot for the rest of the struggle after the ninth and later injured his ankle within the eleventh spherical when he wildly swung and missed with a giant left hand.
Paro seemed good capturing the IBF title from champion Subriel Matias earlier this 12 months on June fifteenth, profitable a 12-round unanimous determination on the Coliseo Juan Aubin Cruz Abreu, Manatí, Puerto Rico.
Hitchins didn’t look good in his final struggle, profitable a controversial 12-round unanimous determination over Gustavo Lemos on April sixth in Las Vegas.
I COULD BET YOU MY WHOLE PURSE YOU WONT BE SEEING LIAM PAY ATTENTION AND TAKE NOTES BUM https://t.co/Qq3Gsz8rVW
