I asked this question a couple of years back, people were implying he would be a good match for any domestic Light Middle - including the likes of Rhodes.

All I have seen of him is on youtube training, looks very strong and I would imagine a sharp puncher - not the most fleetfooted of fighter. Although all I have seen him is the clip on youtube His record is pretty phenomenal for the KO's though. The likes of Jamie Coyle, Taz Jones, Lee Noble and the spaniad he faced last are not easy to put away.

Eric, any video's of this guy?

Edit - His fight with Coyle is on youtube (was this shown in the UK? or just on foreign TV - I remember Matchroom had a deal with some unusual TV channels to show Sky's fights, but not those shown in the UK) - Anyway, Proksa looks a pretty ruthless puncher from that fight, strong as an ox.

I too like the look of GP and have been following his progress where possible for the last few years, always disappointed sky don't show him on undercards more.

Thanks, Stu...

Looking at his record it's hard to understand why he isn't making more waves.

He appeared on the Sykes v Johanneson undercard, but didnt make sky.
He looked ok, but to be honest he was matched relatively easy.

Known about him for a while, but only really watched his fight against navascues.
proska has an interestings style, that will definitely mean he will make most fighters look bad and i beleive this is why no one is quite willing to fight him yet unl;es they have to or unless it makes monetary sense.

not sure how far he will go but he seems very good and i will be following him more from now on.

I saw him last fight in Madrid against Pablo Navascues, when he wins by KO. He looks great, fast, shape, and with a decent punch power. Currently he is EBU n2, he must fight Barker-Spada winner, and with a lot of possibilities of becoming new european champion.
You can see Proksa's last fight on the following links:
