Jack Catterall v Regis Prograis

Looks a decent bout on paper for me , Catterall (30 Fights - 29 Wins (13 KOs) - 1 Loss) comes into this on the back of three win streak , his last being against Josh Taylor , who he beat by a deserved unanimous decision to avenge that narrow loss to Taylor back in 2022 , in all honesty Catterall won that original fight for me (and plenty of others) and should be unbeaten. Prograis (31 Fights - 29 Wins (24 KOs) - 2 Losses) hasnt been since his loss to Devin Haney back in December of last year , that was a very one sided affair and he was pretty much schooled by Haney and he also got dropped by Haney who in all fairness isnt known for his power. His only other loss came to Josh Taylor back in 2019 , by majority decision , who as ive already stated Catterall has beaten (twice in imho). I like Prograis but he hasnt been seen since that Haney loss and he didnt look great in his last couple of fights , the Haney loss and his penultimate fight which he won against Danielito Zorrilla by a laboured looking split decision. Prograis seems to struggle with the more technical boxers and Catterall is technical and very defensively minded with an airtight defence , so im thinking that Prograis is gonna struggle to pin anything on him , and ring rust due to the lay off may well play a part especially when you consider that Catterall has fought already this year and is on a three bout winning streak (Darragh Foley , Jorge Linares and Josh Taylor) and hes gonna want to keep that winning momentum going. It should be an entertaining fight and if Prograis is on form he'll be looking to take Catterall out but i think ultimately i see Catterall being too good for Prograis and adding another win to his resume.

Dina Thorslund v Terumi Nuki

Im a big fan of the unbeaten Danish fighter Dina Thorslund (22 Fights - 22 Wins (9 KOs)) and i have been reading that its been announced that this could well be her last fight which is a shame as far as im concerned , her opponent Japanese fighter Terumi Nuki (20 Fights - 15 Wins (10 KOs) - 5 Losses) hopes to relinquish Thorslund of her WBC and WBO World Bantamweight titles but i think Thorslund is gonna prove to be too good for the challenger here. Looking through her resume Nuki hasnt faced anyone of Thorslunds calibre as yet and i think shes gonna fall short in this bout , thats not saying she wont give it a good go of course but i feel the Dane will prove to be technically superior and will outbox her , plus if this is gonna be her last fight then i cant see her wanting to go out on a loss so i feel she'll be well up for this one and that she'll retire (if the rumours are true) undefeated , if Thorslund is 100% after her injury then i cant see her coming into the fight if she had any niggling doubts.

Harlem Eubank v Nurali Erdogan
Harlem Eubank (19 Fights - 19 Wins (8 KOs)) has his first fight since November 2023 when he stopped Timo Schwarzkopf , and it will be interesting to see how he does against the former French Welterweight Champion Erdogan (19 Fights - 16 Wins (1 KO) - 3 Losses) , i think Eubank is a much better boxer than Erdogan and i fully expect him to take this if he comes into the fight 100% , but im wondering if he tries to take the Frenchman out or if he decides to get the rounds in and tries to outbox him. I think he tries to get the rounds in but if the opportunity arises for him he'll take it and try to stop Erdogan. Resume wise i'd say Eubank has the slightly better one but not by much although as a former belt holder you cant write him off totally. A decent comeback fight for Eubank , and one im expecting him to win before going on to bigger and better fights.
