Y'all must of forgot. The closest thing to Roy Jones destroyed a decent opponent in Sylevester. Roy jones is back baby (the white version).
Don't get me wrong I like Proksa, but RJJ would knock Sylvester (ANY VERSION OF HIM) out with one hand tied behind his back and his feet bound to the ring post. And it'd be over in 1 round flat. Proksa is a fine unorthodox fighter, he's utilizing that left down the pipe very nicely, the court must be out on his resistence though, and he seems to lack KO power.
Sylvester went 12 with Karmazin, Castilljo, Sturm, Geale, Oral and i can't remember him ever being down. The way Proksa seriously rocked him and brutalized his face in 3 rounds make me think his power is quite respectable.
The closest fighter stylistically to RJJ in boxing is probably brad Solomon. But they are all admirers of the man.
I think its great when newer fighters try to emulate older great fighters. If this Proksa kid is as good as they say he is, i wish him all the best.
yeah, he was great in that fight, kid go ne have a super future!!! let him outbox sturm or zbik a bout vs lemieux would be an absolut war.
Pirog, and now this guy. Middleweights from eastern europe are starting to change form and show a real sign of danger. This kid needs to clean a few things up, but i can see him coming to america and making fans with his style. See, martinez does have fights out there.
Nice step up oerformance but honestly, Sylvester is way past it. Still good to have another Polish fighter jump onto the World scene. Many more fans will be paying attention to him from thisw point forward.
