    Stylistically, Prograis-Taylor is in many ways a similar matchup to Crawford-Spence, with the difference being obviously Prograis and Taylor are far inferior to Spence and Craw.

    Who wins Progais-Taylor?

    i like the swamp beast, but i dont have confidence in his corners ability to properly prepare him. he looked irresponsible in his fight this weekend. if they can get their **** together, i favor him.

    Taylor's chin seems a bit suspect.

    I don't think it's suspect. But at the same time, I don't think he could win a war with Prograis. He'd have to box smart.

    Taylor wins, regardless of boxing match or fight.

    I'd edge it for Taylor but I'm not overly confident he will need to reign in the aggression and try and outbox Regis in the early rounds and maybe step on the gas later depending how it's going..he should resist going toe 2 toe early with Rougarou though!..but will he?

    While Prograis clearly has talent and power he has some pretty big flaws too. He follows his opponent around rather than cuts off the ring, and crosses his feet doing so. And that exaggerated head movement is fine in a one-sided stoppage win, but what happens when he's tired in the championship rounds in an even fight against a live opponent? Jury out and I favour Taylor; he's the far more rounded and polished boxer of the two...

    Put Taylor in with Crawford then we'll see who's ****ing 'far inferior'!

    Taylor had a closer fight with Postol because he fought like a MAN, not a running little ***** coward like Crawford did.
