    I see Prograis playing the role of Gamboa. I will say though had Gamboa been a natural 140 pounder, taller (reach) and draining to 135 Crawford would’ve lost and possibly KO’d by Gamboa.

    If Prograis is Gamboa, I see Taylor as his Rogers Mtagwa.

    I apologize. I am not at all saying the result will be the same. I’m just referring to similar stances and style. I see Prograis winning

    Thanks for clarifying. Taylor has looked good in the WBSS. However, I think his defense is too porous for a punishing hitter like Prograis. Plus I think Regis has actually been holding a lot back in his fights, if that makes sense. Unless his chin proves to be an Achilles heel, or his body outgrows the division, I have yet to see a fighter from 140 or below who I believe can beat him.

    Just rewatched it he wasn't as wobbled as I first thought.

    I agree, prograis looks like he has other gears that he’s not used yet.

    Unless Taylor comes in with a very very good game plan I think he’ll get stopped late

    Looking forward to this one though

    Great fight, and the winner has a case for the back end of the P4P rankings. I like both fighters so this is a little bittersweet, but I've been rolling with Rougarou too long to change now.

    Prograis SD Taylor

    I'm the same but for Taylor.Really don't know who wins in all honesty. but I'm confident taylor won't get stopped so it should go the distance.

    Gamboa boxed well for 4 rounds and then got taken apart.
    If he had been bigger, then maybe he would have made it to the finish line. But he made a lot of mistakes that night and Crawford got the better of him.

    Same story with Alvarez-Khan.
    "Khab was winning!"
    ... Yeah, maybe he was 1 point ahead.
