He took this fight on short notice. He had a handy EBU defence in the works but took this massively risky fight instead. He gave it his best. He never stopped trying. He threw a lot of punches and worked angles but was just outclassed by a better schooled fighter who happened to have a monstrous punch. And in his final knock down, you could tell his body was absolutely wasted but he got up and genuinely wanted to fight on. He did his fans proud. Just came up against someone who is special. That's boxing.
I have a lot of respect for Proksa. Kept getting up, never stopped trying to throw bombs. And the ref's stoppage was excellent. Proksa is the type of dude would keep getting up and end up getting seriously hurt.
i give him a lot of respect as well, proksa just goes for it, he lost he went back and took care of hope and then jumped on GGG fight which is not an easy thing to do.
dont understand how anyone cant be a Proksa fan even after gettin knocked down in the first he threw bombs for all the rounds, he can give anyone a tough time hes so awkward
No doubt the group of **** Brit fans will be on here in the morning shouting Polish glass etc. without having even seen the fight. :verysad
Massive respect!!! I screamed for the ref to stop it just before he fell for the final KD. I don't know how he found the strength to get up.
I believe Proksa would have a decent chance beating anyone in the middleweight division not named Gennady Golovkin. Proksa is actually a brave, strong boxer. It's just that Golovkin is an unnatural monster.
People are too quick to write a fighter off. I liked Roy's commentary tonight; he was very fair with both fighters and even when Proska was losing to GGG, he kept on complimenting Proksa's heart and determination. GGG is on another level. I think he would even give big head fat boy JCC Jr trouble.
there's 2 guys fighting in 2 weeks that would both beat his ass. But he did fight bravely tonight and deserves respect
Massive respect for his toughness, but WTF didn't he listen to his corner? He was practically sticking his face out towards Golovkin's rt hand, saying "please hit me."
Exactly, the guy fought his heart out, kept getting up. Frankly, I thought the ref pulled the plug a tad too quickly. He deserved to go out on his shield.
