    Little talent but he was one of the more entertaining German frauds. I saw him live ringside when I attended Huck vs. Lebedev.

    Proksa took his soul

    He made a very likeable comment on his career: "I achieved everything I could with my boxing resources and my kind of style."

    Well, considering his fairly rudimentary skillset he's rather an overachiever but fair play to him, he did provide some decent fights.

    Retiring with 31 is a little early though. It's not like he looked noticably deteriorated or something lately. Facing top 20 opposition must've been a shock for him.

    He was very limited but achieved more than I though he would. Plus he didn't duck any challenges like Fraud-ass Sturm.

    But Proxa completely dismantled him. Career-ending beating, literally. Bye Sylvester.

    "Mark my words!!!

    Proksa is going to school Sylvester so bad he wont have any more fighting spirit left in him when he's done.

    Always a concern when a Pole fights in Germany but i am confident that if it goes to the cards Proksa will have a substantial lead."

    How many former or current top 10 MW's will Proksa retire?? :D


    With Proksa fighting out of the UK now... no way he fights Barker who wants to be on the rise again, but a Macklin fight i.e. stepping stone fight could be possible after Sexy batters him over 12. Macklin would not retire after getting schooled by Proksa, but it could lead to bigger and better fights for Proksa... it's nice seeing where Golovkin is headed after killing Simon in 1, hoping to see the same kind of hype for Proksa in the near future.

    Good idea.

    The ease with which Super G dismantled him (not to take anything away from Super G) showed he doesn't belong between the ropes anymore.

    Best wishes for Sebastian Sylvester.

    He wasn't a special talent, but was a ring warrior and came across as a good guy.

    Proksa beat the living **** out of him. Hope he earned some decent money during his career.
