Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: I'll KO Regis Prograis If He Tries Walking Me Down

Another overhyped British bum gonna bite dust..

Nah, you're thinking of Americans. Americans think fighters who haven't done anything are elite. Brits have better resumes and fight much tougher competition pretty much across the board. Look at Taylor, he has the better resume of the two. That's the case with nearly all our fighters.

Take a look at prime Americans against finished fighters or badly damaged - Thurman vs Manny. Brook vs Spence. Browne vs Pascal. Charlo vs Korobov. Fury vs Wilder. Fury and Korobov beat Wilder and Charlo but were ripped off. Brook dominated Spence in the first half of the fight until his weight draining came into play in the second half.

Most of your fighters don't even have a single legit good win against a world class fighter. Those that do, only have about 1-2. And they're considered the best P4P. Haha. And that's before we mention all the robberies and the cowardice which is common with American fighters.

Yeah, there are those that are hype jobs. It's very clear to see which fighters they are. They all come from your country. As per usual.

This is why we need the Super Series to keep getting it's profits. These two are going to go all in on winning the tournament. I am betting it will mean a ton more to one of these guys to hear "...and winner of the Ali Memorial Trophy after a year long Boxing Super Series Tournament.." then it will ever mean to just be introduced as one of a dozen alphabet belts.

I got the American Loup-Garou in London winning this one, but from what I have looked up on Taylor it looks like this could be so much fun. Come on October.

This is different, Regi is seasoned and in his prime. The only thing I'm worried about is the usual bias UK referee, that will be looking out for the 'Tart-Tomato'.

WHO ARE YOU PICKING?!

This will be a great fight! I think Prograis gets taylor frustrated mid way and then has his way. If Taylor keeps his composure and doesn't wait for the counter he has a chance. Taylor needs to fight smart not tough. Prograis is quicker and wont wait around for a reply. Pressure Prograis and slow him down at the body early on. I don't know if Taylor can be that disciplined. See Prograis winning untill Taylor proves different then I'd be more than happy to eat my words..

Not happening Taylor

It’ll be a great fight nonetheless but Pograis is on another level in my opinion, Taylor is a dog and will box beautifully like he can but I foresee that after 6-7 rounds Pograis will make very physical, make Taylor trade with him and likely knock him out at some point.

Last time I remember #1 and #2 fighters at 140, both with 0s, fighting for world titles was Bradley–Alexander. I'm not expecting Hagler–Hearns, but still quite confident these 2 will deliver a great fight.

Crawford vs Postol, man.

I like him coz he makes me laugh. The hot air that comes out his mouth could power a small city for a year.

Were Crawford v Indongo not #1 & #2?

Crawford vs Postol, man.

Ah there ya go, whichever one it is. I forgot about Crawford's run at 140. Wasn't Garcia–Matthysse also 1# and #2?
