Anyway on to prograis Taylor prob the fight I have been anticipating more than any fight in the last 2 years since we at least knew it was likely when the tourney was announced

Think I’m gonna put my general “bet against the Brits because of their insane fans” system to a big time test in this one. Betting prograis by KO

Great 175 pound fight next week too. No clue in that one honestly

Get well soon Truth

Beterbiev Gvyzdov was a good fight. Hope Bivol is next.

Prograis vs. Taylor in just a few hours! Didn't have time to write up a detailed analysis but wrote up a quick summary here: https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr1vp6 outlining my thoughts. I know a lot of people think this fight is close to 50/50 but I actually like Prograis wide here. Given all the action tonight (good cards on DAZN, ESPN+, and Showtime) this could end up being the best fight weekend of the year...

This could be a fun card.

dont give a toss about the main event but price chisora is BOX OFFICE

IN

your crazy bro. the main event is like my most anticipated bout of the entire year i ****ing love it. so rare to have a true 50/50 fight between undefeated dudes. we just did last week with beterbiev and gvodyk but this one has been on my radar for over a year with the wbss. i can't wait.

i'm kind of leaning prograis possibly stepping up and showing he is on another level and just beating taylor up but i'm super biased because i love him and his rough and tumble old school attitude. josh taylor is legit himself and def has fought better competition. winner gets into top 10 p4p imo.


chisora is going to destroy price hes on another level by far. i do love the british fights but price is going to get his career ended imo

crystal nice write up as usual...i hope youre right but i do see this as 50/50. hope you have a big bet on prograis that pulls though brother

i'm just not confident on this one because of my biases. i got lucky and saw prograis and baranchyk in bum **** oklahoma on a shobox live about 4 years ago and hes been the favorite fighter of me and my gf ever since. she hates taylor since he beat baranchyk lol so we are all in on prograis today...BUT i'm very nervous

i do think taylor has a defined ceiling. as good as he is its also true that he had a lot of trouble with postol and even baranchyk had his moments (altho i really think thats not a knock on taylor as beast is a handful for anyone with his caveman style). prograis has the ceiling of really dominating taylor. i don't think there is a scenario where taylor embarrasses and dominates prograis but we will see ive been wrong before. i just think prograis *could* be an amazing fighter and he might have his coming out party tonight

Agreed though Chisora and Price are both fairly popular in the UK (especially England) and they were actually (way) more responsible for selling tickets to the fight in London than Prograis or Taylor were. I assume that the other poster is from England which would explain why he said that...

hes def from england

i do wonder how the english see taylor it might be the scots who are all in on him

where is marty mcfly

i was rather shocked when prograis was a 2-1 favorite for a long time i thought the brits would bet up taylor big time to 50/50 or even a favorite. after that didn't happen i thought maybe this guy taylor isn't as big in brit land as i expected...but i think besides fury he could be the best UK fighter of the last 5 years or so. we will see tonight. gonna be on froch's level if he pulls this off v prograis.

never heard of prograis or taylor

prograis sounds like a tropical disease. prograis fever

i mean im sure the main event will be technical masterpiece etc but as a hyper casual british boxsport enthusiast i am chiefly in for the bollocks and shenanigans, and chisora price is guaranteed to deliver huge amounts of bollocks

that surprises me a lot i figured taylor would be really hyped but fair enough

neither is a name in america tbh but if prograis wins he will have his choice of promoter and he will end up being a big name i reckon. could sign with pbc and move up to 147 with all those guys they have

only thing i don't like about prograis is how he is already 30 years old

Consty told me that Price has had a 3 week camp so that one is going to be over really quickly (not that this is news).

cant take price remotely seriously since he got his soul taken by tony thompson

also that ****in meme where price is wearing the massive suit and looks like a cartoon

HERE WE GO

hoping for a price upset but he cant deal with swarming fighters like at all

--

above was a classic of the price genre, also see the one vs erkan teper. and christian hammer. dude is just box office

i just think chisora is going to swarm him and beat the **** out of price but price knocking him out then getting a big payday v like joshua or wilder or something is probably the best result for lols


price walking out to the good bad and ugly theme is nice tho i like that

thing is, when he turned up we were all told by the experts that he was going to be hw champ of the world due to unprecedented power and that he was > fury. that idea must've come from somewhere. so i still believe he might have power to KO anyone he's in with

remember him rocking povetkin, before pricing a cpl rounds later

Mu is correct, Price suit was the GOAT.

not much bollocks so far

HERE WE GO

price is gonna get sent to hell but this is very entertaining at least

lol

price is such a loser man


lmao "was there an issue with price before the fight????" stop it announcers jesus christ

heh

good decision by the corner
