Taylor is a good fighter for sure, but I’m starting to think that Prograis might be the real deal. Prograis seems very confident. Either way, I’m excited for the winner of this fight to hopefully fight Ramirez. This weight class is doing everything right.
Prograis putting New Orleans back on the map. Great to have local news talk boxing again :p. I really hope that Taylor isn't counting on Prograis needing to drop his shorts to make weight as an indicator of victory. Scenarios go back and forth just thinking on it but see Taylor stronger fighter. Probably better ring awareness and better feet v Prograis faster sharper puncher playing out. Prograis would do well to not clown about as well. This is a legitimate super fight I don't care what anyone says. Going for Prograis via tko late, on flesh not lack of will, or nod on cards.
Prograis has looked and sounded like a potential superstar over here, all of a sudden I noticed good British judges started mentioning Spence-Brook, Crawford-Burns, Hagler-Minter.
Yeah a superfight for hardcores, just look at the interest here though? More people here will watch that Youtube circus and Tyson Fury wrestling.Quote:

Evening. Okolie/Ngabu up next
Connor Benn was on earlier and won but missed it.

Okolie getting a lot of stick from commentators for being boring. He won the first round easy and look a class above Ngabu.
think it was the 3rd round that Benn stopped him in, landed 4 proper bombs on the poor old postman that he was in with, heavy heavy KO but he was alright
Okolie is fucking terrible to watchQuote:

Very scrappy round 3 with a lot of holding from Okolie still winning the round but crowd not excited by this.
I reckon that Okolies parents didn't show him enough love and affection when he was a kid, that's why he just wants to hug everyone
Okolie is arguably the worst fighter to watch in the world atm.
Hate watching him.
Ngabu is doing nothing himself and both do nothing up close but okolie is trying in round 4.
I honestly don't know how he keeps getting onto these big domestic/PPV cards, if anything he seems like the kind of fighter you would find working with Frank Warren stinking out York Hall and the Copperbox arenaQuote:

Its a hard one because he's winning.. no one wins a euro/world title off of TV in a club.Quote:

I kinda want him to lose so I don't need to watch him.
Okolie went back to holding in round 6 and the ref tells them at the start of the 7th to entertain the crowd.
Is the Prograis Taylor fight the main event?
Ref stops it in the 7th when he wobbled Ngabu with big right and left hands. He is getting booed from the fans.
Think Chisora v Price is.Quote:

Burns looks stronger and sharper in the 1st round against Selby to win it.
Entertaining 2nd round from both and Selby landed some eye catching and hurtful punches which made Burns smile.
1-1
Selby trying to move and box in round 3 but Burns still catching him.
All Selby for me so far.
Both fighters are very fast and so missing one another a lot in the fight and round 4. Give it to Selby.
2 all
Selby has got into a nice pattern of boxing and moving to out box Burns in the 5th.
There was a late punch which riled up Selby.
3-2 Selby
Better fight than I was expecting so far, naughty from Burns with the late shot after the bell.
I'm liking Selby's work so far, just hope he keeps it up.
Ha! Ricky was not happy
Burns forcing the fight in round 6 and landed some good hard jabs to win the round.
3-3
