I can't wait till prograis moves up to 47
Me too, I think he is the goods and 140 has allowed him to develop and work a lot on his game, 147 would/might be the prime of his career, the bigger fights/challenges awaits him there.
If boxing isn't badly politicized then we might see him against other boxers from all networks.
Why does he have to move up?
... Oh yeah, lol.
Prograis won the WBA belt, and beats whomever is the IBF champion to win the tournament, Jose Ramirez would be left having to finally fight him or be stripped of his title, lol.
Prograis handles that work, and then it's on to Hooker to seal the division.
Jack Catterall is there, Mario Barrios is coming along, and Figueroa Jr and Broner should both be able to make 140lbs
I can't speak for certainties but Rougarou is 30 years old and has been fighting around the same weight since he debuted exactly 7 years ago. Statistically most fighters will have moved up at least one division in this time as firstly they bulk out in their early to mid 20s then start to find weight cutting harder as they hit 30 or so. Prograis may be anamoly (there are numerous exceptions - usually among guys who started off above the lowest class they could have made), but I think it's likely he'll move up after this tourney unless there's some compelling reason to stay at 140 (such as Hooker for undisputed - Hooker's my guy but I think Rougarou demolishes him).
Fantastic fighter, though, assuming Taylor makes it past Barinchyk it's gonna be one hell of a final.
I was pulling for Relikh but he let me down got his beaten up i thought it was atleast a 60/40 fight but it seems Prograis is on another lvl.
Prograis is just that good, don’t blame poor Relikh. Good fighter but Prograis looks almost unbeatable at 140
... yes, he's too good...

Relikh made a huge tactical error in turning and walking away after that liver shot. It instantly reminded me of when Angulo did the same thing against Lara, he dropped his guard and walked away and left himself wide open to any incoming shots. Relikh was lucky Pabone didn't wave it off.
I've been pumping Prograis tires for a bit now, he's going to win this tournament and dominate.
real deal
Yup, same here. Glad to see him getting the recognition now. Action packed style, top level skills, and a great persona.

Taylor vs Prograis will be a great scrap, assuming he beats baranchyk. Can't wait to see it, I think Prograis will win a close decision.
