    We've never seen Indongo hang long-distance with a good, prime fighter.

    Burns, Mabuza and Marali are the best Indongo has gone deep with and they were all shot. He caught Troya cold, but I've long considered the Russian a KO waiting to happen as soon as he fought somebody aggressive with more than moderate power.

    Indongo getting destroyed early by Crawford showed his true level, I think. No, you're right, so far Prograis hasn't proven to be anywhere near a Crawford but I don't think you need to be Crawford to get rid of Indongo somewhat on the early side. I think you just need to have a good chin (in case he cracks you first), a big punch, and be top-15ish and in your prime. Rougarou fits the bill in every way.

    We can’t call Indongo chin crap if he hasn’t actually been chinned. It was the body shot by Crawford that stopped him. I got Prograis by stoppage late too.

    You made some good points, however we do know Indongo has no visible stamina issues from the manner which he dominated burns. If Ramos who was able to go late with Prograis I’m not sure Indongo can’t as he isn’t super aggressive, he is more a counter puncher.

    There is a chance prograis could stop early but I think Indongo has a new trainer so we will see if he can improve in the areas he was exposed at against Crawford.

    Ramos has been stopped once in his career, and he's fought Hooker, Ghvamichava and Baranchyk, which was a brutal war, that doesn't say much. I think Ramos might be the next Salido/Roman type journeyman, he's coming off of a stoppage win over Emmanuel Robles, he's not quite what I'd call a scrub.

    Nah he ain’t a scrub at all, none of them are big punchers though. He obviously has a decent/good chin as he has only been stopped once but Indongo hasn’t been stopped except by Crawford who is a p4p talent too.

    Baranchyk isn't what I'd call a featherfist, as far as Indongo goes, I would say he's a glass cannon, I recall seeing him badly rocked by one of the African guys he fought, and Crawford I still maintain isn't all that heavy handed, his power comes from his speed and accuracy as opposed to raw power, I mean, Dulorme lasted longer than Indongo, a shot shell of Molina lasted longer, face it, Indongo is just a frail beanpole who lucked out against a glass jaw, I don't rate wins over Burns at this point, not that I ever really did.

    Well we will see I guess, you might be right but I’m gunna take Prograis late or on points I’m assuming you got Prograis before 6?

    I doubt Indongo makes it past 4.

    Lol damn you really believe in prograis power. I never fully trust a fighters power until I have seen them fight a top 10 guy. If he does do it in under 4, I think the best match up down the line is Prograis vs Taylor.

    That would be awesome, both are A+ prospects IMO.

    For what it's worth I think Indongo has his moments but gets stopped mid to late.

    He's quite awkward and has some power, and thus might take a while to figure out, but once Prograis does so he will break Indongo down IMHO.

    Why are today's fighters so fragile? It feels like every other fight is being postponed or cancelled because someone got injured.

    i like indongo. bud is a beast thats the only guy he lost to. i and i dont think he took damage where its going to carry over.

    this fight can be really fun. it could turn into a real fight . regis ends up popping him and putting him out but keep doubting indongo its wat we like to do and he might just get a scrappy fight with this guy bcuz niether is afraid to get dirty in there. lets see how indongo responds after the loss to bud. is he gunna be scared in there? he might be more cautious and not score points. im rolling with regis but dont be shocked if indongo puts regis on his ass.
