Kerry Hope Upsets Grzegorz Proksa

[DoktorSleepless]

I'm highly disappointed in Proksa. I had high I hopes for him. I didn't score it round by round, but I felt Proksa edged it slightly. It was still a close fight. He had cut, but that's not a good enough reason to struggle this bad against a guy who had 1 KO in his resume. Looked like some good punches landed from Proksa, but Hope was never hurt. Anyway, respect for Proksa because he looked like a good loser after the fight.

Lets get a rematch. It was a good scrap.

watched this was a good scrap, i had proska by 1 for his accuracy, hope also had a point deducted, proska was badly fatigued after about 4 rounds and looked out on his feet for a lot of the fight ,and this made it look like hope was hurting him.despite being exposed, this could be the making of proska as his fitness let him down, bt he still looked top class at times

after 4 rounds? wow, that doesn't sound good. yeah, the scorecard make it sound like a close fight, i really need to find a copy of it to see how it went down. but thanks for the little summary.

It's only one loss, I wouldn't be too discouraged but people need to keep fighters hype in check. Just because you look good against C level competition doesn't mean you're gonna roll right in and be a dominant force against A level competition. Proksa can bounce back and learn from the loss but it is clear that he isn't ready for big time like a lot of people on here act like he would of.

The Sylvester win is kind of suspect now. He was coming off a loss against Geale and he arguably lost Karmazin. I get the feeling Sylvester was completely done when Proksa got to him.

[BattlingNelson]

Everyone has a bad night from time to time let's see how he comes back from it. I think he's overrated anyways, what has he done but beat Sylvester who just got his ass whooped by geale. Sylvester had seen better days even before the geale fight.

Wouldnt be surprised to see proksa in with jcc jr now

Proksa looked great against a faded Sylvester. He looked really promising. Losing to a brit journeyman takes a lot of steam off his bandwaggon. I must say I'm very surprised. A decision loss on hometurf. Big upset.

[Russian Crushin]

Where's RUSSIAN CRUSHIN AT??????? He's the biggest Proksa fan in this place, no doubt.

I just saw....Im in shock, cant believe it

Gotta watch the fight for myself

[RichCCFC]

Keep fighting bums and you'll eventually be beat by one. That's why I don't get involved with the hype around the Eastern Europeans. Show me that you can beat the top fighters and I'll give you props. That goes for Pirog and Golovkin too.

where as Berto bum of the month club is any different

Hope deserved to win

Berto was still beating much more accomplished fighters than Proksa, Golovkin, or Pirog. Urango, Forbes, Quiantana, and Collazo were all world champions or accomplished fighters.

[Neglect]

Wow long night last night and after 4 or 5 rds of Proska dominating I fell asleep. How the **** did he lose? Sounds fishy to me. Hope was completely outmatched.
