Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Confident: Regis Prograis is Great - But I'll Beat Him

[TheBigLug]

Prograis is a lot better than Baranchyk.

Yeah but stylistically Prograis would give more opportunity for Taylor to do his work.

Baranchyk makes you tough it out and won't give you any time to really box.

Taylor v Prograis will be a totally different looking fight, whoever wins.

Taylor still has room for improvement and you wonder if Shane can help fill the remaining gaps. He could have made the Baranchyk victory a lot easier but there were too many close rounds due to him not popping out the jab, allowing Baranchyk to be more active than he should've been. It's clear Josh loves a 'fight' as much as a boxing match but that could be his undoing vs Prograis and others. Fkn great to watch, though

I see Prograis beating Taylor up. May be competitive for awhile but Rougarou is too much for the current crop of 140 pounders. For those that believe in Jose Carlos Ramirez? Easy work for Prograis. Ramirez is too slow and easy to hit. 117-111.

I think Taylor wins by decision. He has that top boxing brain. Weather the storm for the first 4 rounds, work out the opponent, make adjustments and impose your will. The only thing that I see bringing his downfall is how he likes to recklessly engage, needs to be ironed out, he can win these fights much more easily

I said that Taylor would stand his ground at times with 'the beast' and he did exactly that, problem is he looked unsure what he was going/supposed to do continue to box or continue to stand his ground at times, especially for the first half of the fight.... as soon as he did stand his ground he nearly won by KO though.

Hopefully he will have a better gameplan agaisnt Prograis because if hes unsure he will likely be taken out, Shane gets a lot of credit as a trainer but im still not convinced, he still seems like a fitness coach that was given the opportunity not through merit but because of his old man...
