    Cmonnn... Prograis wipes his ass with Baranchyk. Ivan makes Rios look defensively responsible, and he's been dropped and hurt before. Rougarou batters him.

    I wanna see Prograis vs Josh Taylor.

    I agree that Progress is physically imposing, despite being kind of average size at 140. Just seems like a naturally very powerful guy.

    Arum knows a loss does not really hurt Pac at this stage. Especially a disputed one. An obvious shit decision like this is a win-win.

    Not Sure...

    Spence-Prograis Would Usually Meet at the Texas State Golden Gloves, in the Finals...Spence Repping Dallas, Regis Repping Houston...

    REED Only Saw Them Fight 1nce, but Believes Spence Went 4-0 Against Him...

    Thing Is, Regis DIDNT Look “Smaller” Than Spence, Necessarily. Shorter, Sure, But Not Smaller...

    Having Seen Him as an Ammy, REED Was Stunned to Learn Prograis was Fighting Pro at 140...It’s Not Like There were Any MONSTERS Below 152 Worth Avoiding...

    Regis said in an interview that he and Spence fought twice. First time he felt he held his own, but second time he admitted Spence won clearly. He also said Spence will beat Crawford.

    It's weird I've never seen him before this fight, or even heard of him tbh.

    I'd be interested in seeing him against someone more legit than BigDongo.

    How do you think he'd fare against Garcia and Thurman?

    Thurman? Prograis is a junior welter. I definitely can't favor him over the second best welterweight in the world. He'd be a big underdog against Thurman and for good reason.

    I think we should just focus on how he does at 140 for now. And at 140 he has a chance against anyone currently in the division.

    Yeah that's fair enough, I wouldn't have usually asked, but REED mentioned him fighting Spence in the amateurs so I figured he can obviously handle the weight.

    And yeah, hard to judge him on one fight especially against a chinny scrub, but he does look pretty good. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he turned out to be the best 140 pounder. Garcia is good but undersized. Who else is there?

    Tooooo Early (if Ever) to Speak On Prograis Against Garcia or Thurman, in REED’s Opinion...

    There’s Not a Ton of NUANCE to his Game Thus Faaaaaar; He Looks to IMPOSE Himself More Than Anything...

    It Didn’t Work On Spence as an Ammy and REED Can’t See it Working On World Class Welters Until Regis Adds New Wrinkles...

    Yeah I agree with you both.

    I like the effortless power he displayed, hurt him with almost every shot he landed.

    Chinny bum or not, Crawford's shots weren't doing much to him before the big bodyshot.

    just watched the fight. Yeah Prograis looked really basic, and was getting hit a lot. But you can't criticize too much considering the result

    Agreed with Reid that I don't like his chances against the elite of the division, unless he has a few hidden tricks he hasn't shown yet

    Yes they were. Crawford dropped him with a left hand to the jaw in the 2nd round.

    He said in the post-fight interview that Indongo's punches were nothing. When a fighter can't gain the respect of an aggressive guy like Prograis, then the aggressive fighter doesn't mind eating a few shots coming in.

    I've seen a number of Prograis fights now, his defense is pretty good when he wants it to be. Good head and upper body movement. Is he Floyd defensively? Hell no. But he isn't James Kirkland either.

    The Funny Thing About Indongo is he Fights Like he DOESN’T Expect to EVER Get Hit, Almost As if it’s ILLEGAL for his Foe to Punch Him:D...

    Even Against Crawford, He was All Wide Eye’d, Looking at the Ref in Shock, from Getting Punched...Not Punching Power Shock Either, It Was “Ref, Did You SEE It, He Just HIT Me!” Shock...

    I don't even remember that, just remember the KO.

    In this fight Progress only had to touch him and he was borderline Ko'd.

    Relikh just had too much energy for Barthelemy.

    Now on to this fight.

    I still got Mikey getting a stoppage.

    140 is suddenly deep as Hell with good, YOUNG fighters. Prograis, Relikh, Taylor, Ramirez, Imam, Baranchyk.

    Lipinets has the Homer Simpson strategy. This isn't going to end well for him.
