Competitive? Watch Barchnyk and Postol. If you want to see a showcase type fight watch his fight against O'hara Davies.
Taylor got this one I reckon. Gotta make a pick as last fight I couldn't bring myself to make a prediction.
Postal fight is a good one to watch.Scorecards are an absolute joke though and don't reflect how close it was.
Hell of a fight and definitely deserved to be main event over chisora and parker. This is truly a 50/50 fight both fighters have risen to the occasion each time before this is the biggest fight and the hardest test either have faced so far, which one can continue to rise to the occasion, just like there are levels to boxing below world level there are still levels above world level some fighters are elite. This fight will be won mentally not physically, who can rise to the occasion and make the necessary adjustments as the fight goes on.
a few months ago i had thought taylor would win , however after seeiing a few fights and taking a few things into consideration i pick progais Taylor can knock progais down coming in ( decent counter puncher) he is however , The speed , the power, the athletiscism i give it all to progais 1 Speed , Power , athleticism i give that advantage to progais 2. Skill , about even 3. the physical attributes being tall may work against taylor than for him being tall bigger target easy to hit on the inside 4 postol 4th round body shot that hurt taylor , Progais is a good body puncher he stopped relikh in an impression fashion even hurting him to the body 5. Progais response to fighting a southpaw ( Terry Flanagan) i liked that performance and i saw how progais can hit a much taller southpaw being able to slip in and out and hurting him. * bodyshots *being able to get in fast slip an slide good ability advantage in speed , and athletic abilities * Progais performance against Flanagan now before anyone here gets butthurt and says " Flanagan aint taylor " true im just saying that fight showed me how progais is able to slip in and slide out against taller, longer southpaw thats all Note: these are my reasons as to why i think progais will defeat taylor come this weekend . these are my opinions and reasons, Do not get butt hurt over anything stated above feel free to disagree, I will respect your opinion. My Pick Progais
Watched both of these on YouTube last night, I was familiar with Ivan the beast and Taylor definitely looked good. It’s going to be a great fight I’m going to go with Regis
I think he might attempt a tear up with Prograis and may get hurt in the process, maybe even dropped, because usually inside fighting is an asset to Taylor, but going toe to toe on the inside with a heavier handed fighter has the potential to backfire on him big time. Then he'll pull back, reassess his strategy, keep it on the outside and do just enough to nick most of the rounds. Taylor, by close and possibly controversial UD.
