Which is understandable. Why fight somewhere where the scorecards are already filled out with the whole arena screaming anytime their guy attempts to throw a punch.
Prograis doesnt want the fight to take place in Scotland.

If the semis were in Scotland surely the Final won't be.
The last Final was Groves vs Smith two UK fighters and they held the fight in Saudi Arabia of all places.Comment

Neutral is the fair way to go for this kind of thing really, but the problem is that you end up in countries with no real boxing interest, like Saudi Arabia. For all the reasons Prograis might not want it in Scotland, Taylor can equally say the time about doing it in USA.
I'm think the Donaire v Inoue fight will end up in Asia somewhere, but that makes sense, even in somewhere like Macau which has hosted big boxing events and would attract tourists.Comment

Then it should be in England. Somewhere Neutral. Usyk never displayed this kind of behaviour. That's a real champ. Can't expect Taylor to fight In your home country when you don't want to fight in his. If he is confident in himself he wouldn't even be worried about that. And I like Prograis but he said something else yesterday in the post fight interviewComment

Can understand why he wouldnt want to fight in Scotland, but generally I do prefer it to be in one of the fighters backyards over a neutral venue because you lose so much atmosphere in a neutral location.Comment
