Regis “Rougarou” Prograis is one of the defining southpaw punchers of the modern 140-lb era, a fighter built on compact explosiveness, ring savvy, and a mean streak that mirrors his New Orleans roots. Turning professional in 2012, Prograis steadily climbed from regional shows to the world stage, showing a style that blends tight-footed pressure with sudden angles and heavy counters. His record of 30 wins in 33 bouts, including 24 knockouts, reflects a career where damage matters as much as points. Prograis doesn’t waste motion: he stalks behind a subtle right jab, steps into range with short shifts, and fires a whipping left hand that can change rounds instantly. At 173 cm with a 170 cm reach, he isn’t the biggest super lightweight, but he compensates with timing, body attack, and an ability to punch during transitions, especially when opponents try to reset.

The breakthrough years came through the World Boxing Super Series run and subsequent championship reigns. Prograis captured major belts at super lightweight and proved he could handle both boxers and brawlers, beating champions like Kiryl Relikh and Jose Zepeda, then defending his status against strong contenders. His 2023–2024 stretch showed the fine margins at elite level: a gritty split-decision win over Danielito Zorrilla was followed by high-profile losses to Devin Haney and Jack Catterall, both bouts where he had moments but couldn’t fully control the tempo. Rather than fade, Prograis reset and returned in 2025 with a disciplined decision win over Joseph Diaz, demonstrating that his veteran craft is still sharp. With a resume of world titles, big-fight experience, and a recognizable finishing instinct, Prograis remains a dangerous night for anyone at 140 or in the nearby weights, and his blend of patience-plus-power keeps him relevant in the division’s deepest matchups.

Tips / interesting facts:

1. Prograis is a natural southpaw counterpuncher who often waits for overreactions, then snaps the left hand down the middle.
2. He builds stoppages with body work—watch how he digs the left to the ribs before going upstairs.
3. Despite modest reach for the class, he closes distance with short steps and angle changes rather than wide lunges.
4. His best rounds usually come after he establishes rhythm with the jab and shoulder feints.
5. Big-stage experience (world titles and tournaments) makes him comfortable in tactical, late-round fights.
