Regis Prograis has become one of my favourite fighters.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I’m a big Josh Taylor fan and I fully expected him to beat Prograis last night.

But the manner in which Prograis has handled his defeat is refreshing.

I scored the fight 116-112 to Taylor but a lot of rounds were competitive and I honestly expected Prograis and his team to whine, complain and try and make a scene but he did the exact opposite.

Prograis showed true class, and behaved impeccably all through fight week.

That was a great advert for the sport, huge credit to both fighters.

This is how you grow the sport, not by having two YouTubers damage the sports integrity for cheap viewers.

I agree. It reminded me of George Foreman’s post fight interview after he got screwed by the judges against Shannon Briggs. Foreman’s post fight interview was on probably the classiest in history but this one was right up there.

It was such a good fight at world level. I had it 115-114 Taylor, fine with 115-113,114-114, it could have went either way really.

Top Fighters fighting each other and showing nothing but respect afterwards that is what boxing is about. Fans ruin that by trying discredit Taylor and/or trying to bash Prograis for losing

Nothing but respect for Both for even Joining this Tournament and putting it all on the line

[JakeTheBoxer]

I agree, but it is still only a fight for diehards. That kind of fights are not known between casuals.

Also, 140 top guys have always been expected to move up and take on 147 division. I just don`t see that with Prograis, Ramirez and Taylor.

Prograis made Alot of new fans over here last couple of weeks the way he went about his business.

Yes!

Prograis was very classy about the whole thing. The respect meter goes up for this guy for sure. He put on a great fight and no excuses afterwards. The sport needs more people like him. Great post!

[chrisJS]

He has a great style and is a classy guy. It’s hard not to like the guy.

Prograis was extremely classy and is an incredible fighter. Disgusting what some are saying now about him, he lost a close fight to a world elite fighter. For some people though they can't admit that a British fighter is actually good and not a cherry picker looking for an easy title, and I understand those boxers piss off British fans too. But Taylor has done it the hard way and deserves respect like Prograis does too.

[Damn Wicked]

I liked Prograis post fight interview too. He was respectful and didn't act like a cry baby. I didn't expect him to react that way because he seemed a bit like a $ch1tt talker. Makes me like him more after that interview.
