Comments Thread For: Prograis: Me and Baranchyk Will Reach WBSS Final, Not Taylor

[Butch.McRae]

Prograis vs. Baranchyk. What's your take, just going off of what you've already seen?

I think Prograis won't be able to drop Baranchyk like others. He might find that left hand all day, but he's not putting that guy down without volume.

I think he needs to box him and be prepared for the full 12 rounds. Baranchyk is very sturdy and doesn't mind winning it rough. Prograis would be wise to keep him at range, show some movement, and set up the left hand all night.

I don't know his game enough to assess whether he has the discipline to do that. If Baranchyk can make it rough, he could easily beat him.

My gut tells me Prograis because he has more tools, but that's a very dangerous fight because I don't think he can **** with that guy and get away with it.

I haven't seen Prograis' tools yet. I've only seen KOs, and guys who got shook...early! Baranchyk is not that guy! It would be a great fight! Relikh is a problem too!

I've already seen Baranchyk go down as a pro against below par opposition and he was down quite a bit as amateur as well, he's not that durable. Prograis knocks him out.

Prograis is my pick to win the whole thing but I think it will come down to him and Taylor, I just lean towards the Rougarou

Fair, you know the Euro scene lol I'm just going off the limited tape I've watched. But I'll take your word for it.

Prograis and Taylor should be on opposite sides and meet in the final..... it's a 50/50.

[Corelone]

Prograis is the favorite, but the field is well stocked. A lot of times a fight is won by frustration and not aggression. Maybe one of these guys has the right moves.

You got to be a complete idiot to fight a hometown fighter in Scotland.

I'm Scottish and even I think that. The worst of it is Taylor won the fight and didn't need the biased scorecards and it makes it harder to get fighters to come here

[BigZ44]

Baranchyk has little defense, he's getting stopped in the second round of the tournament, whether it's against Taylor, Prograis or Relikh

Don't beat yourself up too bad. The hometown edge is universal. It's bad in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan Bulgaria. It's a shame everywhere too.

Yeah I know you it see it all the time. I just find it more difficult to take when it's at home. It happened with Burns v Beltran as well. Scotland's only really going to have 1 or 2 fighters at a time who can compete at world level and scorecards like these will put top guys off from coming
