The Chorley brawler started relatively in a controlled and measured fashion ticking off rounds in a tight contest.
He then had to take a marginal standing count in round five before really turning on the pressure in the latter rounds.
Having turned up the pace, El Gato scored two knockdowns of his own with some brutal shots that sent Prograis spinning.
The win for Catterall, who secured great wins over Josh Taylor and Jorge Linares in his previous two fights, should see him fight for a world title next.

He said: “I’ve had my time in the sun, now it’s time for the young ones.
“I’m gonna do something else and let the young guys take over.”
Prograis added: “Jack was just better, that’s all. Jack was the better man, I’m not gonna lie.
“He definitely deserves a world title fight next. Good luck Jack. You’re really good.
“I’ve fought the best and you were the best out of all of them.”
