Regis Prograis Demolishes Ivan Redkach With a Brutal Body Shot
Regis Prograis closed the showdown with Ivan Redkach with a brutal body shot in round six that forced the Ukrainian to take a knee. However, the win looked controversial as commentators doubted it as a groin shot. But the replay showed it to be a legal punch thrown by Prograis, as he walked off with the last laugh.
Although Ivan Redkach had his minor moments in the ring, it didn’t turn out to be fruitful. Following several close collisions, he ultimately fell prey to Prograis’s prowess. Despite a lot of effort to regain his stance, the 35-year failed to make it to the count.
