    Great news this is a genuine 50/50 fight both guys unbeaten and in their primes. Fights like this are great for the sport we all love. No politics no BS just the best fighting the best. The winner is top dog at 140.

    Chuck, I haven’t posted on the site in quite sometime yet you’re still adding subtle quality. Kudos to you and your admirable level of consistent virtue; the ESB boxing community should applaud your contributions.

    Live long and prosper brother.

    Fight of the year contender. I like both these guys. Think Prograis is slight favourite based on what I've seen of them.

    Thank you. I love the junior welter tournament. Wish it was mandatory for all divisions to unify in a tournament.

    really good fight I’m leaning towards prograis 60/40

    Taylor has fast hands but I like prograis counter punching in this fight

    Taylor is more well-rounded—Uses the ring better with his quicker feet. Better inside. More authentic combinations. Better balance and positioning. But doesn’t use his jab enough.

    Prograis is more limited. But what he does, he does very well—Quicker hands. Busier and better at long-range. Uses his jab more. But tends to stand flat-footed to get the most out of his power, which limits him offensively and defensively.

    Nicely put. The hand speed is close but Taylor shortens punches better, more compact. Who you picking?
