    I'm just loving this guy. He looks so at ease and relaxed in there.

    From what I've witnessed, he is going to be a nightmare for anyone. This guy isn't even anywhere near prime yet and he's just literally destroyed Sylvester like he's a journeyman.

    He reminds me of Roy, his stance, his selection of shots etc.

      Marinez/Pirog hybrid imo. He's a little undersized for a MW at 5'8 and a little slight of build but his power at MW seems legit.

        Things have now gotten interesting at MW, he should fight the Lee/Vera winner tonight, I suspect he would chop both of them to pieces from what I saw.

          I would love to see him fight against a good pressure fighter. He is a small guy, and tough frontmen are either make for completely spectacular domination jobs(if his skill will permit) or will give him hell.

            Please don't let me see/hear you mention this guy in the same sentence as the great Roy Jones again.

            He looked good against an average European that came in with a huge blackeye.
            Good performance from a young Sergio Martinez wannabe, he's still young but he isn't that special IMO

              Macklin would be interesting too.

                Yup. He destroys either of them with ease IMO. Proksa is a pure boxer that will take sluggers apart.

                I'm still in shock in the fashion he just won. This fight was no joke and a real test for Proksa but this looked like a domestic fighter vs world class.

                6/1 for a TKO/KO win for Proksa tonight as well. Says it all, he surprised a few tonight I'm sure.

                  We'll see. Nothing special? Not sure if serious...

                    Macklin, Chaver jr(though my golden dream if they left him off against Pirog) are they guys that would make for great tests for this little guy.

                      Yes, a fight with Macklin would be very interesting, since Macklin is a pressure fighter and has a lot of heart (I think actually that Macklin won against Sturm)
