Comments Thread For: First Class: A Celebration of Taylor vs. Prograis

[mlac]

This wasn't even a good fight. Prograis got his ass kicked. Prograis was overrated and so is Taylor.

just **** off and stop watching boxing please. you are an idiotic fanboy who hasnt got a clue and this is proved time and time again by your posts.

before the fight you claimed: 'Taylor is a hypejob and will be easily stopped'

me:' no he isnt YDKSAB'

you: ' trust me i know a hypejob when i see one'

after a close FOTY fight: ' rubbish fight both are hypejobs, Ramirez beats both easily'

Prograis was picking Taylor apart from the outside. Taylor adjusted and made Progress fight in the inside while pushing him back. At the end of the fight Prograis was hurting him again.

I do not know what fight were you watching.

No way! Prograis was bullied and cant go defense to offense! Taylor exploited this and was the ring General and forced Prograis to fight his fight. I don't know what fight others watched because I seen only 2 good rds from Prograis and even then Taylor looked stronger, he only did it with size. Taylor was more active and landed clean body shots ALL night.

Mikey Garcia should fight the winner of Josh Taylor versus Jose Ramirez. That will be First Class!

Prograis lacked inside fighting and did not know what to do when he got pushed back. The other thing is that apparently body blows do not count in this site. Prograis landed much more to the body cleanly than Taylor.

Ignore the trolls and Naysers!!!

Give credit where credit is due. Hats off to both men.

And both seemed to be in full possession of their faculties after a torrid affair.

Nothing but respect.

Ignore the trolls and Naysers!!!
Give any of them a five dollar bill they will still complain it is wrinkled!!!

Finally, a proper contest, two good fighters going at it. Personally, I thought Taylor edged it but I would happily watch a rematch because it was that close.

You must want Taylor hurt...

Yup! Mikey is the ruler of 140!

Brilliant fight. I've still not watched the TV coverage of it so I'll score it again when I do.

I had Prograis up 3-1 through 4 but Taylor then won the next three. Round 8 I gave to Prograis but that was a difficult round to score, I gave it Prograis but I have no problem with Taylor being given it by others. Taylor won 9 & 10 and Prograis the final two rounds. 6-6 or 7-5 Taylor.

Both are warriors! I was already a fan but Prograis made a lot of new fans on these shores. I imagine we'll see him fight in the UK again one day. I was already a fan of Josh Taylor too but now after seeing him live battle through to win against Prograis, I would say I'm a big fan! He's p4p the best British fighter (non-HW) since Frampton after beating Leo. I favour him to beat Jose Ramirez in another competitive crowd pleaser.

Thank you sir. I just wrote that when the fight was somewhere in eight round. This fight was pretty bad, not on level like GGG - Derevyancheko or. Beterbiev -Gvozdyk.

Both guys have awful styles, they are actually blocking punches with their faces.

Chenko vs ggg was trash though
