    ...now what?

    Obviously his style "as-is" will no longer cut it. The fairly shocking loss to plucky (but far less athletically talented) Welsh journeyman Kerry Hope served as a wake up call in that regard.

    Clearly, his old team must go. They were pretty much useless anyway. Proksa had essentially trained/taught himself through much of his pro career and styled himself more after American boxers than those of his homeland (much like Dmitry Pirog, actually) and developed his own quirky triangle-armed approach to the game - and that makes for a great story and got him sort of on the fans' radar, but clearly it can only carry him but so far. He's plateaued with that.

    Maybe a big name American or British trainer?

    Who could serve him best, to bring him back to the heights people were projecting for him after he crushed Sylvester? :think

    Super G didn't even look like a regular G verses Hope. A journeyman won a very close and controversial decision to him. He has a lot to change up. Hopefully he comes back better.

    The big problem during that fight was how sloppy and off balanced Proska was throughout when punching.

    I think he has fallen in love with his power because that's all he did against Hope kept trying them but Hope had a good chin.

    I had it a draw at 114-114 BTW

    He wasn't letting his hands go for some reason.


    At his best, he overwhelms opponents with volume punching from a philly shell southpaw stance. Quite unique to see a volume puncher fighting out of that defense.


    Against Hope, who is a bum, but a southpaw bum, he wasn't pouring it on like I am used to seeing.


    Maybe it was Hopes southpaw stance that was not allowing him to fight to his potential, maybe he didn't train well. . .who knows.


    The unmistakable fact is, that he just took a huge dive in rankings and well deserved for losing to such a **** opponent.


    Prior to this loss I had actually considered him a very tough possible opponent for Martinez but now I don't know what to make of him.

    His priority must be to rematch Hope and absolutely destroy him. Once he does that, we will see.

    ****. He lost? Well its not the end of the world and does have an exciting style, but in these cases I just think its part of the learning process for fighters and as long as they have the fire in them to improve losing can be a great thing. Now if he loses his next 4-5 in a row we have a problem. Need to mature as a fighter at some point.

    Proksa is not a power puncher. He hurts you with fair power but he is not a really heavy handed dude. If he thinks he is, he is ****ed because he will lose again.


    What makes him good is a high workrate with good body shots from a southpaw Philly Shell.


    If he is going to fight with single shots or basic 1-2s, trying to score a one punch KO he will lose again because that's not his strength,

    Proxa will never be slick. Even if uncle roger trained him. He may aswell get his boxing gear and put it in the trash throw some gasoline on it cos he wont need it anyways.

    His problem was that he precisely did NOT use his exciting style against Hope for some reason. . .maybe it was the first southpaw he faced I don't know.


    Proksa at his best overwhelms the opponent and doesn't let him breathe.


    Proksa at his best is how he fought against Sylvester.

    After the fight and in many other interviews he said that after the cut appeared at the end of the second round, his corner told him it was a bad cut, and he was under the impression that he needed to end the fight or the ref would stop it, so he was going for the knock-out. Said after the cut his entire tactic and game plan went entirely out the window.

    I agree but all he did was throw power shots throughout so that's why i thought he fell in love with his power!!

    The cut really affected him as well. If that didn't happen i think he would have been far better than he actually was
