i am thinking Taylor by decision.

[handsofstone]

Im looking forward to this. Gonna be awesome, different styles and both are southpaws. I do think that Prograis will win the fight.

Sad that Parker pulled out from fighting Chisora, cause off Derek won that fight already in "the gloves are off".

Derek wins most fights when the gloves are off.

He loses most of his big fights when the gloves are on though

Well played sir

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Both can box, both can stand and slug. Taylor went to war with baranchyk so I take it he can withstand a battle of attrition.

Taylor is taller with better reach, prograis is quicker. I dont know how Regis will be in a dog fight. Taylor has home field advantage too. Slight edge to taylor

[Roars Like Me]

I feel a draw coming on... deserving or not

May the best man win. I like them both. I can see Taylor eventually fighting at welter and perhaps even jr middle. He has the size and power for it. Kinda reminds me a little of Kell Brook

Selby vs Burns some where around 9th or 10th round real snoozer..

[Ruthless-RKO]

Who’s looking better so far..

[BigGar]

Prograis so far.

[victor-romeo]

[Ruthless-RKO]

[victor-romeo]

Great fight...I had it 118-112 for Taylor....Taylor faded last 2 rounds..Prograis,Taylor, Ramirez all about equal at 140 , who will be a good welter weight, Ramirez I suspect.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Did Taylor’s eye close in the last round?

[manchester-mexican]

Great fight...I had it 118-112 for Taylor....Taylor faded last 2 rounds..Prograis,Taylor, Ramirez all about equal at 140 , who will be a good welter weight, Ramirez I suspect.

no way that taylor won by 6, 1 or 2 rounds either way and no one could argue decision imo

[Best Coast]

i had Prograis winning the last 2 rounds to even it up but I said along that in a pick 'em fight like this that venue would make the difference and it clearly did.

[chad]

In the words of Regis Prograis "The better man won". Prograis really classy in defeat
