I favour Prograis here, maybe 65-35 / 70-30? I appreciate he's coming up behind on height and reach, but he has a coolness and poise that I feel Taylor has been lacking in his biggest fights to date. That's not to say he can't show up in this fight with it, however from what i've seen so far - i'm going Prograis, albeit reluctantly

I just read a article here at the boxingscene, saying that the 'Tart-Tomato' Joshua Taylor had Regis Prograis in a headlock recently. I think the Tomato Josh Taylor was getting some practice at holding.

Taylor knows hes going to get touched like he did vs. Ivan Baranchyk and Viktor Postol. I cant say I remember when I seen Regis Pro hurt on the other hand, so as far as I'm concern Joshua Taylor is selling Wolf-tickets and I'm not buying.

I'm a backing Taylor as he's from my hometown and I'll be there in person but I'll even say that RP is the favourite; not a 70 - 30, more a 55 - 45. RP has the experience, maybe not the resume of Taylor but I've no problem accepting that Josh is the slight underdog.

Dude, they were just mucking about. Prograis was chatting to Josh's girlfriend and his team when they had a bit of fun. Don't get your stars and stripes panties in a twist about it. This game isn't for fairies.

That's not what the 'Tart-Tomato' said in the UK's 'The Gloves Are Off. He was bragging about assaulting Regis Prograis, with all his friends. But when the bell rings, Taylor will be by himself and he has to deal with the consequences for embarrassing Prograis.

I honestly haven't seem any of their previous fights beyond some highlights but I'm pretty sure Prograis will win. I think it will be a competitive fight though.

Taylor looks to have a good size advantage.
