Let's be honest, this will be the final. So, how do you see it going? Also, does anyone know where it will be held? I have seen the kind of fanatical support that Taylor gets, it is very loud and rambunctious, the fans will cheer and jeer everything, from punches landed or missed. Prograis, on the other hand, is simply not a star and does not really have a big following at all. Prograis has only ever fought in the USA (across many States), mostly in unknown locations with smaller crowds. His only known location highlight was being on a spectacularly stacked card at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York. That was on the Thurman vs Porter undercard. Taylor has actually fought in En Paso, Texas of all places. He also had 1 fight each at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York and at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Although all 3 fights were against tin cans as it was very early in his career and before he stepped up his opposition level. Therefore they were low key fights far from top billing.
I got KO. I don't know who, I'm just picking Ko. It's definitely going to be a Great fight. Thank you WBSS. Tournaments are the best.
I'm not gonna jump the gun and provide a concrete prediction right now. I'm gonna wait to see how Taylor looks against Baranchyk, then analyze the matchup for a bit before giving a prediction that I'll stick to. We didn't really learn much from Taylor destroying Martin, cause Martin didn't even come to fight. Baranchyk is limited, but he WILL come to fight. If you asked me today, I'd favor Regis. Could that change after the 18th? Yes. WILL that change after the 18th? Not sure. Even if Taylor looks spectacular, I might still go with Prograis. He looked like the best junior welterweight in the world last night. Is it an awesome matchup either way? Absolutely!
If Taylor beats prograis (I don’t think he will) he might as well move up to welter and take care of the B team. (Thurman, porter, Garcia, broner) some money to be made for that boy.
