Regis Prograis and Maurice Hooker were set to face one another in a fascinating matchup on April 17 but the fight was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

No problem. It’s just a matter of rescheduling, right? Wrong.

Prograis and Hooker, both former 140-pound titleholders, had originally agreed to a catch weight of 143. However, in talks to reschedule the fight, Hooker said he would only do it at 147.

Fight off.

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss whether Hooker made a reasonable decision or a mistake in this episode of Jabs with Mannix and Mora.
